Step-by-Step

Historical note: this reflects the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) situation specifically in 2020 and does not describe current AINP policy — always check the current AINP intake status before relying on this.

At that time:

  1. AINP had paused accepting outland applications (i.e., from candidates living outside Canada) through the end of 2020.

  2. AINP was not issuing invitations to inland applicants either during that same period — the pause affected both groups, not just those applying from abroad.


If you're researching AINP timelines from this era, treat these dates and pauses as historical context only; check IRCC/AINP's current published intake and invitation status for up-to-date information.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: This reflects AINP's 2020 pause on outland applications and reduced inland invitations — historical context, not current policy.
  • Do: Always verify AINP's current invitation and intake status directly rather than relying on past patterns.
