Alberta announces new immigration streams, changes to Temporary Foreign Worker program
EDMONTON, AB – The Government of Alberta is launching two new immigration pathways to attract investment and create new jobs in the province.
Starting October 26, recent international graduates from universities and colleges in the province can apply to the new International Graduate Entrepreneur Immigration Stream to launch business ventures and startups in Alberta.
Early next year, in January, the province will launch the Foreign Graduate Start-up Visa Stream to attract international graduates from top universities and colleges in the United States to start businesses and move to communities in Alberta.
The government says that together, these two programs will offer tools to grow Alberta’s tech sector and attract new investments that will create new high-paying jobs.
