About the Alberta Express Entry Stream 


The Alberta Express Entry Stream allows Alberta to nominate a limited number of qualifying candidates from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada's Express Entry system. Priorities and approaches to candidate selection in the Alberta Express Entry System are shared as a courtesy and are subject to change without notice.


Those interested in the Alberta Express Entry Stream must be asked to apply. You cannot apply for a nomination in this stream unless you have been invited to apply.


How candidates are selected in the Alberta Express Entry Stream?  


Candidates may be sent a Notification of Interest (NOI) letter or invited to submit an application if they have:


  • Experience in a high-demand occupation and an immediate family connection in Alberta are also required.

  • a job offer in the healthcare sector from an Alberta business license to practice in one of the authorized healthcare professions under the Designated Healthcare Pathway; expedited processing is possible.

  • Under the Accelerated Tech Pathway, a job offer for an eligible tech occupation from an Alberta employer in an eligible tech industry is required; an initial Accelerated Tech Pathway web form is required as a first step, and faster processing applies.

  • Experience is needed to meet labor needs in important sectors such as agriculture, construction, tourism, and hospitality.

Canada may recruit DACA recipients

  Canada may recruit DACA recipients  Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that protects and provides work authorization to immigrants brought to the US as children. Over 570,000 Dreamers are currently protected by DACA and are productive members of the American economy.  However, the program is in legal limbo as Congress has failed to authorize permanent protection, and Republican states are suing to terminate it.  Canada is actively recruiting immigrants with US work experience or education and could also attract DACA recipients, highly educated and qualified workers.  Canada's Express Entry system could be a viable option for Dreamers, who would be competitive candidates. If Canada poaches Dreamers, the US will face significant economic losses as Canada reaps the benefits of highly productive US-trained immigrants. Canada has stepped up its efforts in recent months to deliberately recruit immigrants with prior education or work experienc...

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers From January 1, 2024, employers recruiting through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) must adjust foreign workers' wages to match updated prevailing rates, as per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Although some employers are exempt, this usually requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The Job Bank updates provincial wage differences annually.  Canada is inviting foreign workers to boost its economy amid labor shortages, with potential losses of $38 billion due to shortages, as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reported. Foreign workers in Canada are legally entitled to the same rights as Canadians, with employers required to ensure a fair work environment and access to healthcare. Even if the prevailing wage falls, the updated wage can never fall below the wage identified in the positive LMIA at any time during a TFW's employment period. Emplo...
