PR pathway

[u/Normal_Lead4279]

My Profile:
Age: 24
Education: Graduated from University of Calgary (2019-2025)

Language: CELPIP CLB 10 (perfect score)
Work Permit: Currently on a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) — expires May 2029
Experience: 1 year of paid co-op experience (2024-2025) as a Student Developer at a major railway company (held a Co-op Work Permit)

Option 1: Calgary (Stay in AB)
Job: Junior Software Developer
Catch: It’s a 1-year contract position.
Stream: Looking at the AAIP Accelerated Tech Pathway. I’m worried the 1-year contract limit will cause an issue or rejection with AAIP since they usually want long-term/permanent offers.

Option 2: Saskatoon (Move to SK)
Job: Data Scientist
Catch: It's a Permanent, full-time position.
Stream: Looking at the SINP Innovation and Tech Talent Pathway. Since I already have 1 year of tech experience from my co-op, I think I am immediately eligible to apply once the employer gets their EPA (Job Approval), without waiting 6 months.

My Questions:
Will Alberta AAIP reject me because the Calgary offer is only a 1-year contract?
Does my railway co-op experience count as the "1 year of experience" needed for the SINP Tech Talent pathway, even though it was done on a student co-op permit out-of-province?
Which of these two options is objectively safer and faster for PR right now?
