In the recently released Alberta PNP draws, we saw that the province invited healthcare professionals using a not-so-long-ago-launched immigration pathway. Alberta’s new immigration program is giving benefits to healthcare professionals as it will be inviting more and more professionals using the same.
It seems as if the province is in need of more people in the healthcare sector of the province, and hence the need to add a new immigration pathway rose. But, it’s not just that more healthcare workers from around the globe would be able to work in Alberta, one of the most beautiful provinces of Canada, but they would also be able to take advantage of the gorgeous natural views present there, be able to earn more, enjoy all the employment rights, etc.
Thus, we truly recommend those in this field to go and apply for the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). Want to know more? Check out the whole news then!
