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.
