What does the AAIP points calculator do?
The AAIP points calculator adds up your points on Alberta’s Worker EOI grid. It covers education, language, work experience, age, family in Alberta and your Alberta job offer.
The same grid ranks candidates for the Alberta Opportunity, Alberta Express Entry, Rural Renewal and Tourism and Hospitality streams. Alberta also collects other details, such as your NOC and work permit status, but gives no points for them.
Do I need a minimum score?
No. You do not need a minimum score to submit a Worker EOI. You do need at least CLB 4 for English or NCLC 4 for French in all four language abilities.
What your score tells you
- Ranking: Alberta invites the highest scores in each draw
- Gaps: the breakdown shows which factors cost you points
- WEOI: it costs $135 and stays valid for one year

Five mistakes that skew your AAIP score
A wrong input gives a wrong score. Watch for these.
Using your best language ability
Alberta scores the lowest of your four abilities, not your best one.
Counting in-laws
Family points need a parent, child or sibling. In-laws earn no points.
Claiming a licence you do not hold
Regulated occupation points need a recognized Alberta certification or licence.
Forgetting the one-year limit
A WEOI is valid for one year, and editing it does not extend that time.
Expecting a pass mark
Alberta has no minimum score. The draws set the cut-off.
