Hi Everyone. I hope someone may help my case.
I have a current Express Entry profile with a score of 456, and my first Canadian work experience NOC is 51120.

A home-based business (NAICS CODE 54192) which has just been set up last month, is going to give me a full-time offer (same as the NOC of the previous job). I am going to apply for Alberta Accelerated Tech Pathway because the NOC and NAICS CODE are eligible for the requirements. However, I have two questions to clarify more:
  • A new home-based business is okay and eligible for the Alberta Accelerated Tech Pathway?
  • If the program accepts a home-based business, will I have to change my mailing address is the same as the address of the home-based business? A friend told me about that
If anyone has a similar case, could you help me respond to the two questions? Thank you in advance.

Once you fill Tech pathway form, Alberta will invite you to submit application. How much time do they give you to submit application?

(I don't have all documents ready now and I will need 1-2 months to get them all ready).

Dear Candidate:

Thank you for your email submitting your Notification of Interest letter for the Alberta Express Entry Stream. If you submitted an Expression of Interest form for the Accelerated Tech Pathway, we thank you for your submission.
You may be eligible to submit an application as a General Express Entry Stream candidate or as a candidate for the expedited Accelerated Tech Pathway. You have 30 days from receiving this email to start the application process.
Next steps:

1. Review the relevant Alberta Express Entry Stream (general candidate or Accelerated Tech Pathway candidate) assessment criteria on the Eligibility page, as well as the terms and conditions and application process on the How to Apply page to determine if you are eligible to apply.

There is no guarantee an application will be assessed for nomination or that any application meeting criteria will result in a nomination. Submissions of an application or nomination by the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program does not guarantee you will be issued a permanent resident visa.
2. If you think you meet criteria, click on this link in the next 30 days to start the application process: ****UNIQUE LINK REMOVED***

  • Set up a basic My Alberta Digital ID (MADI) account. Instructions are provided on the main page of the portal. Use the same email address you will be using for the portal.
  • If you:
    • already have an existing Alberta Advantage Immigration Program application under another stream for which you have not received a decision, you must submit a request to withdraw your existing application before you can proceed with a new application. Candidates may only have one active application in process with the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program. All requests for withdrawal must be submitted via the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program portal.

  • Start the application. You will be asked to enter your name as it is written in your passport and your email address. To access the portal, the email address you enter must be the same email address you provided with your Notification of Interest letter email or provided in your Expression of Interest form for the Accelerated Tech Pathway. If you have changed your email address, you must email lbr.pnpoffice@gov.ab.ca and provide your new email address, as well as your past and current MADI user names. We will update the system to accept the new email address. This could take up to 5 days. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program will send an email to you advising when you can retry the link again.
3. From the date you received this email, you will have a total of 60 days to submit your complete application in the portal, including uploading all required supporting documents. Read the How to Apply page, which includes the document checklist and the steps for the application process.

@sean468 Thanks for the detailed reply! Exactly what I was looking for.

Maybe I should get documents ready and then fill the form in about two months. But I see that the quota for Tech EE is 1219 out of which only around 470 is remaining. Should I be worried that in two months the quota will be finished?

It's hard to say. I got my nomination from AB in the Tech EE Pathway in November 2022 and I believe their quota was around 1250ish for the year. They still had a few hundred remaining when I applied.

@sean468 Thanks, that is helpful. My alberta employer is going through name change, rebranding, reorganization etc. I may have a different designation (same NOC code) or boss or team or office location (inside Alberta) in few weeks. I was thinking its best I wait till my company settles down.

do you know if the nomination is tied to NOC code? Suppose I change NOC code from 21211 (Data scientist) to 21223 (database analyst), both of which are eligible for Tech PNP, should I inform them? Will they cancel nomination and I have to start from scratch?

Submitted the tech form in mid April, and got the email invite to apply within one week.
One week after I submitted the Application, they sent an email to my employer to confirm my employment status.
And the very next day after my boss replied that email to confirm my employment, they approved my AAIP and issued me the nomination certificate.
In my case, the Tech Pathway is really fast, entire process only took serval weeks.
Hey ! Please share ur timeline when did u get COPR ?
