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.

IRCC will continue to hold virtual citizenship ceremonies

IRCC will continue to hold virtual citizenship ceremonies According to the Government of Canada’s response to the petition on citizenship ceremonies, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is considering an online tool for self- administered Oath of Citizenship . The analysis is underway, considering client experience, process integrity, and preserving the importance of citizenship ceremonies.  Video ceremonies introduced in 2020 due to COVID-19 have helped reduce processing times and increased monthly oath-taking. These allow participation from rural areas and accommodate larger groups. Between January and September 2023, 276,540 new citizens were made, exceeding pre-COVID levels. Ceremonies are scheduled considering operational demands, official availability, and venue suitability. IRCC is working towards a 12-month service standard for granting citizenship.

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...

Canada holds its position as one of the world's most powerful passports in 2024 In 2024, Canada's passport, although trailing the US, remains powerful, according to the Passport Index. Ranking seventh globally, it shares this position with countries like Australia and Estonia. Assessed on visa-free and visa-on-arrival privileges, Canada's Mobility Score is 173, with visa-free access to 124 countries and visa-on-arrival for 49. However, Canadians require visas for 25 countries, including China and Russia.  The US and the UK ranked higher, while the UAE led with a score of 180. European countries largely hold the top ranks. The Canadian passport gained an outstanding overall mobility score, proving the freedom it provides to its holders, based on the immense amount of mobility it provides. Based on the following criteria: Visa-free, Visa-on-arrival, Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), and eVisa issued within 3 days—this score is an average of those variables. 117 countries...
