The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) plays a central role in economic immigration to Canada. Among the most dynamic provinces, Alberta stands out for its responsiveness to labor market needs, targeting key sectors via its Express Entry Stream. In June and at the end of May 2025, several draws were made under the Alberta Express Entry Stream, notably via the priority sectors of agriculture, construction, health and technology.
In this article, we offer you a complete analysis of the latest draws, the trends observed, and advice on how to optimize your chances of being selected. Whether you're a skilled healthcare worker or a technology professional, this article will help you understand the opportunities Alberta offers through its provincial program.

Analysis of priority sectors
Health Care
With a minimum score of just 60, the pathway dedicated to healthcare professionals confirms the urgency of attracting nurses, orderlies, doctors and other workers in the medical field. This low threshold opens the door to a large number of candidates with Canadian or foreign experience in this field.
Agriculture
Alberta values experience in agricultural trades (farm workers, farm technicians, farm supervisors). The required score (64) remains reasonable, indicating a moderate pool of candidates and growing demand.
Construction
With a threshold of 67 points, this draw reflects the need for specialized workers in the construction industry: carpenters, electricians, plumbers and site managers are particularly sought after.
Technology
The Accelerated Tech Pathway remains competitive. The 69-point threshold illustrates a balance between supply and demand. Developers, software engineers, data analysts and cybersecurity specialists are the most frequently selected profiles.
What Alberta's selection trends reveal
Since 2024, Alberta has been adapting its selection strategy to attract workers in the tightest sectors. Several findings emerge:
- Targeted channels enable profiles not traditionally selected via Express Entry (e.g. care assistants or agricultural workers) to obtain a provincial appointment.
- Alberta is banking on regionalized immigration to fill jobs outside the major urban centers.
Answers to frequently asked questions
Q1: What are the criteria to qualify for the Alberta Express Entry Stream?
A: You must have an active profile in the Express Entry system, work in an occupation in demand in Alberta, and demonstrate a connection to the province (job offer, previous studies or family members).
Q2 : Can I be invited even if my Entrée Express score is below 400?
A: Yes, unlike the federal government, Alberta sometimes invites candidates with CRS scores as low as 300, especially in shortage sectors.
Q3: How does the Accelerated Technology Pathway work?
A: It's aimed at IT professionals who have a job offer with an Alberta-based company, or who work remotely for a company based in the province. Processing times are generally faster.
Conclusion
The latest Alberta Express Entry draws demonstrate the province's commitment to strategic immigration, focusing on key sectors such as health, technology, agriculture and construction. With relatively accessible thresholds and regular invitations, Alberta is a particularly attractive option for skilled workers seeking permanent residence in Canada.
