Alberta continues to leverage its immigration streams to address key labor shortages across vital industries, with multiple rounds of invitations issued under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)<\/strong> between July 3 and July 16, 2025<\/strong>. Hundreds of foreign workers were invited to apply for provincial nomination<\/strong>, which opens a direct pathway to permanent residency<\/strong> in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Targeted Invitations to Fill Key Workforce Gaps<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In total, six immigration draws<\/strong> were conducted over a two-week period, focusing on sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, aviation, construction<\/strong>, and law enforcement<\/strong>. These draws reflect Alberta\u2019s growing need for skilled workers in critical occupations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the invitations were issued through the Alberta Opportunity Stream<\/strong>, which supports temporary foreign workers currently employed in Alberta<\/strong>. Other selections were made under the Alberta Express Entry Stream<\/strong>, including specialized pathways like the Dedicated Healthcare Pathway<\/strong>, Aviation<\/strong>, and Law Enforcement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
