To be eligible for the Rural Renewal Stream and work in the Town of Peace River, candidates must meet a series of criteria, receive an offer for a full-time, permanent position from an eligible employer, get endorsed by the Town of Peace River Economic Development Department, and apply using the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program Portal.

prior to applying for an employment opportunity, candidates are strongly encouraged to review, understand, and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements (Rural Renewal Stream – Eligibility | Alberta.ca) under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program.

There are requirements for:

  • job experience
  • education
  • language
  • financial security

Candidates are responsible for ensuring they meet the eligibility of the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) Rural Renewal Stream. Please review the terms and conditions for the Rural Renewal Stream. Submission of an application or nomination by the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program does not guarantee you will be issued a permanent resident visa.

Those who do not meet the eligibility will not progress through the program. Candidates that are currently living in Canada are only eligible if they have valid temporary status in Canada.

Once a candidate has confirmed they meet all the eligibility requirements, they may apply for employment. Candidates must receive a job offer from an employer who is based within Peace River and has been approved by the Town under the Rural Renewal Stream.
