Alberta Holds 5 Targeted Immigration Draws in June 2025

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) has once again demonstrated its active role in supporting Canada's immigration efforts. From June 5 to June 19, 2025, Alberta conducted five targeted provincial immigration draws, inviting a range of skilled professionals to apply for a provincial nomination. These draws reflect Alberta's dynamic labour market needs and the province's commitment to attracting talent across key sectors.

Supporting Labour Market Demands

Alberta’s immigration draws are strategically aligned with the province’s economic priorities. The selection of candidates based on sectors like healthcare, construction, agriculture, aviation, and technology helps fill vital gaps in the provincial labour market. With targeted draws for high-demand professions, Alberta ensures that its immigration strategy benefits both newcomers and the economy.

Enhancing Express Entry Alignment

Three of the five draws conducted in June were aligned with Canada’s Express Entry system, offering faster processing and streamlined pathways for eligible candidates. These Express Entry-aligned streams, including Priority Sectors, Law Enforcement, and Accelerated Tech Pathway, highlight Alberta’s ability to adapt quickly to evolving national immigration priorities.

Broadening Sector-Specific Pathways

Beyond traditional immigration routes, Alberta is paving the way with specialized pathways like the Dedicated Health Care Pathway and the Tourism and Hospitality stream. These pathways are designed to meet sector-specific challenges and reflect the province’s responsive immigration approach.

Transparent and Data-Driven Selection

Alberta continues to provide transparency in its immigration processes by publicly sharing cut-off scores, the number of invitations issued, and nomination allocations. For example:

• June 5: Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors | Cut-off: 70 | Invitations: 18

• June 10: Dedicated Health Care Pathway – Non-Express Entry | Cut-off: 53 | Invitations: 33

• June 17: Tourism and Hospitality Stream | Cut-off: 71 | Invitations: 39

• June 18: Law Enforcement Pathway | Cut-off: 51 | Invitations: <10

• June 19: Accelerated Tech Pathway | Cut-off: 73 | Invitations: 22

This data-driven approach ensures transparency and trust among immigration candidates and stakeholders.

Managing Future Nomination Capacity

As of June 19, Alberta had issued 2,535 of its 4,875 nomination spots for 2025, leaving 2,340 nominations still available. The breakdown of remaining nominations across streams includes:

• Priority Sectors: 206
