Alberta invites 157 candidates across three Express Entry draws

Alberta has conducted back-to-back invitation rounds in February.

The province conducts 3-5 draws every month, but the information on the Alberta PNP draws conducted is posted one week later. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) frequently searches the federal Express Entry pool to invite candidates to apply for permanent residency.

A total of three Express Entry draws were conducted in February, which saw invitations being issued to 157 candidates with work experience in in-demand occupations including Healthcare and Construction.

Date of Draw	No. of Invitations	Draw Parameters	Minimum CRS score
February 01	80	Priority sector - Construction occupation with Alberta job offer, CRS score 300-500	382
February 06	44	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway with Alberta job offer, CRS score 300 and above	302
February 20	33	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway with Alberta job offer, CRS score 300 and above	311

If you have been invited, you must submit a copy of your invitation letter - along with the requested information to the AAIP within 2 weeks of receiving the invitation. If you did not receive an invitation in this round - do not withdraw your application or create a new one. Your profile is valid for 12 months in the AAIP pool of candidates. You may be invited in the next Alberta Express Entry draw.
