Alberta Steps Up Immigration Drive with Five Targeted Draws in June 2025
Subheading: Over 100 Invitations Issued Across Express Entry and Sector-Specific Pathways to Support Labour Demands
Alberta is accelerating its efforts to attract skilled immigrants by conducting five provincial immigration draws between June 5 and June 19, 2025. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) invited candidates with in-demand skills across critical sectors such as healthcare, technology, tourism, construction, and law enforcement. These targeted draws aim to address labour shortages and enhance economic growth in the province.
Alberta’s June 2025 Immigration Draw Summary
During this two-week period, Alberta invited a total of 122 candidates across five different immigration streams. These included three Express Entry-aligned pathways and two non-Express Entry streams. Each draw had a unique selection criterion, ensuring that only those with the most relevant experience and qualifications were considered.
Breakdown of Draws Conducted:
| Date | Stream | Cut-off Score | Invitations Issued |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 5 | Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors | 70 | 18 |
| June 10 | Dedicated Health Care Pathway – Non-Express Entry | 53 | 33 |

Alberta Express Entry Focused on Key Industries
The Alberta Express Entry Stream specifically prioritizes candidates in construction, agriculture, aviation, and healthcare sectors. This aligns with the province’s 2025 strategy, which emphasizes targeted recruitment through three sub-pathways:
- Dedicated Health Care Pathway
- Accelerated Tech Pathway
- Law Enforcement Pathway
These draws reflect Alberta’s clear intent to fill high-priority roles with skilled international talent.
Nomination Allocation and Remaining Quota for 2025
As of June 19, Alberta has issued 2,535 out of 4,875 total nominations for 2025, leaving 2,340 nomination slots still available. Here’s a detailed breakdown of current progress:
| Stream | Nomination Allocation | Nominations Issued | Remaining Nominations | EOIs in Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alberta Express Entry – Priority Sectors | 405 | 199 | 206 | 4,111 |
| Dedicated Health Care Pathway – Non-Express Entry | 500 | 208 | 292 | 1,568 |
| Tourism and Hospitality Stream | 245 | 181 | 64 | 6,048 |
| Alberta Express Entry – Law Enforcement Pathway | 20 | <10 | N/A | 111 |

Additionally, 2,657 applications are still under review in Alberta’s nomination inventory, suggesting more activity is on the horizon in the coming months.
What This Means for Immigrants
Prospective immigrants with relevant skills and work experience in Alberta’s priority industries are encouraged to submit their Expressions of Interest (EOIs). With nearly half of the province’s 2025 nomination quota still open, eligible candidates still have ample opportunity to receive a provincial nomination, which significantly increases their chances of gaining permanent residency through Canada’s Express Entry system.
