Alberta Tech pathway

[Muskan17]

Hi, I am eligible under Express Entry (CEC) with a CRS of 408 and 1+ year experience as an Office Admin Assistant (NOC B). I have a job offer in Alberta in a tech occupation eligible for the Accelerated Tech Pathway. Do I need 12 months prior experience in this tech role, or can I apply immediately with the job offer despite my previous non-tech experience?

The NOC has to be your primary NOC in your EE profile so you need to have experience in the role. You cannot apply immediately. What is your EOI score? FYI - there were 291 tech pathway spots in 2025 without about 2700 in the pool. So your NOC and score have to be selected. Assume employer has eligible NIACS.

So I was working as office admin noc b sunce last one and half year so I already have express entry profile eligible in CEC. Now I just got a tech job , NAICS and job title everything is good. I am just curious do I need to complete 6months or 12 months experience in this tech job to be eligible for AAIP tech pathway or I can apply for it right away? I have CEC profile but with some other non tech job.

The bigger issue is this does not seem like a realistic pathway to PR. When does your WP expire?
