Two provincial nomination draws have made an opportunity for Express Entry applicants looking for circumstance in the province of Alberta—Canada’s west-most Prairie Province, home to Calgary, Edmonton, and Banff National Park.
On July 17, Alberta issued a sum of 251 Notifications of Interest (NOI) to Express Entry up-and-comers with Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) scores beginning at 400.
One week later, on July 24, there were 220 NOIs conveyed to 220 up-and-comers with CRS scores as low as 303.

The NOI’s were issued as a feature of the Alberta Express Entry Stream determination through which the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) can look through the government Express Entry system for candidates who meet the stream’s qualification requirements and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence.
Since the main Alberta Express Entry-Stream Selection draw, which occurred a little more than a year back, the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) has held 26 draws—issuing an aggregate of 5,063 NOIs.
In order to be considered through this stream, as well as many other Express Entry-aligned Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), the first step is to create an Express Entry profile.
No job offer or past work experience in Alberta is required to be eligible for the Alberta Express Entry Stream. In any case, candidates ought to work in an occupation that supports the area’s monetary advancement and diversification priorities. The province does not provide a list of eligible occupations.
Applicants must also have an Express Entry CRS score of at least 300 in Canada’s Express Entry stream.
The AINP says it may give priority to candidates with:
- a job offer and/or work experience in Alberta;
- a degree from a Canadian post-secondary institution and a valid job offer; or
- a parent, child or sibling already living in Alberta.
Some factors decrease a candidate’s likelihood of receiving an invitation from Alberta, such as:
- the Express Entry expiry date is within three months of the draw
- certain occupations, for example, those recorded in the Alberta Opportunity Stream Ineligible Occupations list
Alberta’s Express Entry Stream draws up-and-comers with CRS scores that are much lower than those drawn through Federal Express Entry draws.
The minimum score of 425, on July 10, 2019, was the most noteworthy so far in the AINP draws. Be that as it may, it was well below the most recent cut-off score for a federal Express Entry draw, which was 459.
The most reduced cut-off score in the 13 all-program federal Express Entry attracts so far 2019 was 438.
Alberta has chosen Express Entry candidates with CRS scores as low as 300 through the Alberta Express Entry Stream on four events in 2019. Three draws had a base CRS score of 301 and one other had a cut-off CRS score of 302.
Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination incur an additional 600 CRS points and are effectively guaranteed an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence from the Government of Canada.
