Canada continues to welcome skilled workers through programs designed to strengthen the labour market, and Alberta has closed the year with strong activity under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program. The province released complete updates on its final draws of 2025, giving applicants a clear picture of how selection patterns unfolded and what may lie ahead.

For many applicants, Alberta is a popular choice because of its quality of life, diverse economy, and strong support for skilled workers. The latest results highlight how active the province has remained throughout the year, especially in sectors that need talent the most.

This update will help Express Entry and non-Express Entry candidates understand how Alberta used its full allocation, how the latest draws were structured, and what these results mean for future applicants.

Final 2025 AAIP Results: A full look at Alberta’s Year-End Draws

Alberta conducted two draws before closing the year’s allocation. Here is a simple breakdown.

Draw Date	Stream	Invitations	Minimum Score
November 21 2025	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway	68	49
November 24 2025	Dedicated Healthcare Pathway	39	49

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program used all spaces available for 2025 after receiving an additional 1,728 nominations from IRCC. This increased the overall allocation from 4,875 to 6,603. Alberta ultimately issued 6,741 nomination spaces, slightly over the original Express Entry target, and still managed to maintain a strong balance across all streams. A total of 8,612 candidates were invited through all AAIP streams during 2025, proving Alberta’s focus on economic needs and long-term growth across healthcare, trades, and community-level occupations.

Why Alberta Closed 2025 at Full Capacity

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program works closely with provincial employers to fill labour shortages. This year, demand for skilled workers remained high, especially in healthcare.

Here is what contributed to full allocation use:

• Strong demand from provincial hospitals and clinics.
• Steady growth in rural and mid-sized communities.
• High volume of applicants with relevant Canadian experience.
• Additional nomination spaces from IRCC to support priority sectors.

These factors allowed Alberta to pull in more talent and use all available nomination spaces ahead of schedule.

What This Means for Future Alberta Advantage Immigration Program Applicants

Several trends stand out for applicants planning for 2026:

• Healthcare pathways remain active and competitive.
• Lower cut off scores around 49 suggest steady demand in essential services.
• Express Entry candidates may see earlier selections if their profiles match labour needs.
• Alberta may request increased allocations again if employer demand rises.

Applicants with strong experience in healthcare, trades, technology, construction, and community services may find more opportunities in the coming year.
