A targeted draw for law enforcement professionals
On March 5, 2025, the province of Alberta held a new draw via its Alberta Express Entry Stream program, specifically under the Law Enforcement Pathway. The purpose of this draw was to attract law enforcement professionals wishing to settle in Alberta. A total of 4 invitations were issued to candidates with a minimum score of 48.
Understanding the Law Enforcement Pathway category
The Law Enforcement Pathway is for internationally recruited police officers identified by a member organization of the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police (AACP). The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) reviews applicants' information to ensure they meet the requirements before being invited to apply.
To be eligible under this route, applicants must meet several criteria at the time of application and assessment:
- Their main occupation in their Express Entry profile must correspond to their current job or a job offer in Alberta.
- They must be identified by the AACP as internationally recruited police officers.
- They must hold a valid and verifiable offer of employment from an Alberta employer belonging to the province's police services.
Eligible positions under this pathway include the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) occupational classifications:
- CNP 40040 - Commissioned police officers and managers in public protection services
- CNP 41310 - Police investigators and other investigative professions
- CNP 42100 - Police officers (except commissioned officers)
AAIP works with AACP to review job offers and ensure that candidates meet program requirements.
An accessible score threshold
With a minimum score of just 48, this draw illustrates the province's commitment to facilitating access to permanent residency for law enforcement professionals. This represents an excellent opportunity for qualified candidates with relevant experience in the field of security and law enforcement.
