Alberta AINP application: using French job titles/documents, and picking a primary NOC when you have two

Step-by-Step

An applicant asked two things about the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) application: whether French-language job titles and documents are acceptable, and — since their Express Entry profile lists two NOC codes — which one to mark as primary when AINP asks if it matches their federal EE primary occupation.

What the thread said (translated from the original French/English mix):
  1. You can present job titles in French, and one member suggested you could set out both occupations, or specifically the one that earned you Alberta's Notification of Interest (NOI) — the AINP invitation is typically tied to one qualifying occupation.

  2. A second member pushed back on treating both as primary, arguing that only one NOC can realistically be your primary occupation, since your federal Express Entry invitation itself is issued based on a single primary NOC — so AINP's question should mirror whichever NOC drove your ITA/EE eligibility, not both.

  3. Practical resolution: identify which of your two NOC codes was the basis for your Alberta NOI (or your EE primary occupation), and answer AINP's matching question based on that one code — treating 'primary' as singular rather than picking both.


Because the thread's own participants disagreed on the two-NOC question, treat this as a starting point and confirm the exact expectation with AINP or an immigration consultant before submitting.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: French-language job titles and supporting documents can generally be used on an AINP application.
  • Do: Identify which single NOC drove your Alberta Notification of Interest or federal EE eligibility, and use that one as your 'primary occupation' on the AINP form.
  • Don't: Don't assume you can list two NOCs as equally primary — the AINP question is designed around a single primary occupation matching your EE invitation.
