Alberta Issues 743 PNP Invitations to Healthcare, Manufacturing, Agriculture Workers
Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) June 2026 draws — 743 invitations target health care, manufacturing and agriculture
Overview (June 5–15, 2026)
Between June 5 and June 15, 2026, Alberta held seven AAIP draws and issued a total of 743 invitations to apply for provincial nomination. Invitations were distributed across five main streams and included three draws specifically for health‑care workers. These draws align with Alberta’s stated priorities for 2026: health care, manufacturing, agriculture and Rural Renewal.
Draw breakdown and minimum scores
The Alberta Opportunity Stream accounted for about 62.2% of the invites in this period. The seven draws reported by AAIP were:
– June 5 — Alberta Opportunity Stream: 462 invites; minimum score 50
– June 8 — Dedicated Health Care Pathway (Express Entry): 49 invites; minimum score 60
– June 9 — Dedicated Health Care Pathway (non‑Express Entry): 35 invites; minimum score 45
– June 10 — Rural Renewal Stream: 54 invites; minimum score 51
– June 11 — Alberta Express Entry Stream — Priority Sectors (Health Care): 50 invites; minimum score 63
– June 12 — Alberta Express Entry Stream — Priority Sectors (Agriculture): 37 invites; minimum score 52
– June 15 — Alberta Express Entry Stream — Priority Sectors (Manufacturing): 56 invites; minimum score 50
Minimum scores ranged from 45 to 63 across these draws, showing that thresholds vary considerably by stream and sector.
Where this fits in Alberta’s 2026 nomination year
As of June 15, Alberta had completed 50 selection rounds in 2026 and reported at least 8,453 invitations to apply so far this year. Alberta’s federal nomination allocation for 2026 is 6,403 nominations; by the AAIP’s June 16 update, 2,869 of those federal nomination slots had been used, leaving 3,534 remaining. The province has also used additional nomination spaces for targeted groups (for example, practice‑ready physicians and francophone candidates).
Stream-level nomination usage (2026)
AAIP reported allocations, nominations issued and remaining slots by stream:
– Alberta Opportunity Stream — allocation 3,425; issued 1,526; remaining 1,899
– Rural Renewal Stream — allocation 1,000; issued 533; remaining 467
– Tourism and Hospitality Stream — allocation 150; issued 114; remaining 36
– Dedicated Health Care Pathways (EE + non‑EE) — allocation 500; issued 131; remaining 369
– Alberta Express Entry — Accelerated Tech — allocation 600; issued 292; remaining 308
– Alberta Express Entry — Law Enforcement — allocation 38; nominations issued N/A
– Alberta Express Entry — Priority sector draws/initiatives — allocation 600; issued 249; remaining 351
– Entrepreneur streams — allocation 90; issued 19; remaining 71
These figures show where capacity remains and where allocations are more constrained.
Expressions of interest and pending applications
As of June 16, AAIP reported 38,353 workers’ Expressions of Interest (WEOIs) in its pool; about 63.1% of those were in the Alberta Opportunity Stream. There were 1,536 provincial nomination applications listed as awaiting processing. High WEOI totals and pending application volumes affect selection flexibility and processing timelines.
Key takeaways for candidates and employers
– Sector focus: Multiple health‑care draws plus targeted agriculture and manufacturing draws signal ongoing demand in those areas.
– Alberta Opportunity Stream dominance: This stream accounted for the majority of June invitations and holds a large share of WEOIs.
– Cutoff variability: Minimum scores differ by draw and pathway — selection is context dependent.
– Remaining capacity varies by stream: Some streams still have meaningful capacity; others are limited by their allocations.
– Be ready: High inventory and pending applications mean prompt, complete submissions after an invitation are important.
Who is most directly affected
– Health‑care workers — targeted through Dedicated Health Care Pathways (EE and non‑EE) and a Priority Sector draw.
– Manufacturing and agriculture workers — targeted in Priority Sector draws.
– Workers already in Alberta meeting Alberta Opportunity Stream criteria — this stream dominated recent invitations.
– Rural communities — Rural Renewal Stream invitations support rural labour needs.
– Employers and recruiters — those hiring in the prioritized sectors may find AAIP nomination routes useful, subject to stream eligibility and available slots.
Practical next steps
– Monitor AAIP draw summaries and nomination usage updates.
– Track minimum score trends in the streams that matter for your profile.
– Prepare complete documentation to submit quickly if you receive an invitation.
– Consider stream capacity and timing when planning applications or recruitment.
Numbers to watch
– Total invitations in June 5–15 draws: 743
– Total selections in 2026 to June 15: at least 8,453 invitations
– Federal nomination allocation for Alberta in 2026: 6,403
– Federal nominations used by June 16: 2,869; remaining: 3,534
– AAIP WEOIs (June 16): 38,353; Alberta Opportunity Stream ≈63.1%
– Provincial nomination applications awaiting processing: 1,536
Final note
Alberta’s June draws combined large volumes through the Alberta Opportunity Stream with targeted draws for priority sectors. Several streams still show available nomination capacity, but high inventory levels and varied minimum scores mean selection remains competitive. Candidates in the province or in targeted sectors should stay prepared and monitor AAIP updates closely.
