Candidates were invited based on their professional experience, in-demand skills, and ability to aid the Alberta labour market.

Within two weeks, the AAIP held five draws across five different immigration streams, with varying cut-off scores for each draw.

Three of these five draws took place through Express Entry-aligned streams:

June 10 Dedicated Health Care Pathway – Non Express Entry  53 33

June 19 Alberta Express Entry Stream – Accelerated Tech Pathway 73 22 

*Priority sectors for the Alberta Express Entry stream include:

  • Construction;
  • Agriculture;
  • Aviation; and
  • Healthcare.

The AAIP previously announced that the Alberta Express Entry stream would consider invitations to apply (ITAs) in 2025 based on the above priority sectors, in addition to the three pathways contained within the stream:

  • Dedicated Health Care Pathway;
  • Accelerated Tech Pathway; and
  • Law Enforcement Pathway.

How many more invitations and nominations will the AAIP issue in 2025?

As of 19 June, the AAIP has issued 2,535 nominations out of its 4,875 nomination allocation, meaning the province still has 2,340 nomination spots to assign to candidates this year.
