The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) conducted five separate immigration draws between June 5 and June 19, 2025, inviting a new wave of skilled workers to apply for provincial nomination.
These invitations were based on applicants’ work experience, high-demand skills, and potential to contribute to Alberta’s growing labour market.
Breakdown of Draws: June 5–19
During this two-week period, Alberta held five draws across five different immigration streams. Each draw had its own specific eligibility criteria and cut-off scores.
Three of the five draws were conducted through streams aligned with the federal Express Entry system. The Alberta Express Entry stream focuses on candidates from key sectors such as:
- Construction
- Agriculture
- Aviation
- Healthcare
| Date | Stream | Cut-off score | Number of ITA’s issued |
| June 5 | Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors* | 70 | 18 |
| June 10 | Dedicated Health Care Pathway – Non Express Entry | 53 | 35 |
| June 17 | Tourism and Hospitality stream | 71 | 39 |
| June 18 | Alberta Express Entry Stream – Law Enforcement Pathway | 51 | <10 |
| June 19 | Alberta Express Entry Stream – Accelerated Tech Pathway | 73 | 22 |
Earlier in 2025, Alberta announced that invitations to apply (ITAs) through the Alberta Express Entry stream would be prioritized for candidates working in these sectors. This stream also includes three specialized pathways:
- Dedicated Health Care Pathway
- Accelerated Tech Pathway
- Law Enforcement Pathway
