Alberta is currently in dire need of workers to fill over 100,000 job vacancies and bolster its economy.
To meet the labour shortage, the Prairie province has asked Ottawa to increase the number of immigrants it can accept through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP).
Danielle Smith, Premier of the province, declared that AAIP would experience a significant surge over the subsequent three years.
By the end of 2025, there may be an estimated 67 percent increase in nominations. The AAIP has recently increased the immigration numbers to 9,750 nominations for 2023.
Those figures are predicted to climb even higher, with 10,140 anticipated for 2024 and approximately 10,849 for 2025. #AAIP, #labour_shortage, #Alberta, #nominations

A Nanos Research Group study commissioned by Bloomberg found that most Canadians remain confident in the positive economic benefits of continued immigration.
An overwhelming majority of 1,012 survey participants had a positive outlook on Canada’s increased annual immigration target – 52% stated that it would positively affect the Canadian economy.
In comparison, 38% responded with the opposite opinion, 6% were unsure, and 4% were convinced that immigration levels did not affect the economy.
The survey was conducted online and over the phone from February 26 to March 1, 2023. #Survey, #immigration_levels, #immigrate_to_Canada, #immigration_to_Canada
