On Mar 18, 2020, 136 applicants were given an Invitation to Apply (ITA) through the Alberta Express Entry stream to apply for permanent residence in Canada. If you received an ITA, then it means you had an active Express Entry (EE) profile and had the qualifying Comprehensive Ranking System score of 300 or more.
An ITA in the latest draw allows you to apply for a provincial nomination through Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP).
