The Self-Employed Farmer Stream is an essential stream that has been started under the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) which aims towards attracting the farm owners as well as operators who are planning to stay in Alberta to purchase and/or manage their business of farming.
The AINP tests the eligibility of applicants by working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Alberta.
To be considered under this stream for immigration to Alberta, individuals must demonstrate farm management skills and adequate financial capital to invest in a primary production farming business in Alberta with the aim of setting up a farming business in Alberta.
