Immigration to Alberta is heating up again. Between September 2 and September 10, 2025, the Alberta Immigration Program held seven targeted draws, issuing a total of 1,376 invitations to candidates across multiple streams. From aviation to healthcare, agriculture to construction, Alberta is clearly setting its sights on skilled workers who can drive growth in critical sectors. What makes these draws even more exciting is the low CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) scores, opening doors for many candidates who might have thought permanent residency was out of reach.

Let’s dive into the highlights.

Aviation Sector Draw

On September 10, Alberta placed aviation in the spotlight for the first time in 2025. Only 30 invitations were issued, but with a minimum CRS score of just 50, the message is clear, this niche industry needs fresh talent.

For pilots, aviation mechanics, and related professionals, this is a golden chance to land in Alberta, where demand far outweighs supply.

Health Care Continues to Dominate

No surprises here. Healthcare remains one of Alberta’s biggest priorities, with 263 invitations issued across three separate draws:

• 70 candidates (Express Entry Priority Sector – Sept 9)
• 67 candidates (Non-Express Entry Health Pathway – Sept 3)
• 126 candidates (Express Entry-aligned Health Pathway – Sept 2)

What’s more, the CRS scores were exceptionally low, ranging between 44 and 64. This proves Alberta’s urgent need for doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, particularly in rural areas where services are stretched thin.

Skilled Trades and Agriculture

Two other essential industries, construction and agriculture, also saw attention:

• Construction (Sept 8): 121 invitations, CRS 61
• Agriculture (Sept 5): 71 invitations, CRS 48

Both sectors are the backbone of Alberta’s economy. With new infrastructure projects on the rise and agriculture ensuring food security, candidates with experience in these trades have strong opportunities to settle permanently.

The Big Draw – Alberta Opportunity Stream

The single largest draw took place on September 4, through the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS).

• Invitations issued: 891
• Minimum score: 56

This stream is particularly beneficial for those already working in Alberta on valid work permits. It shows the province’s willingness to keep international workers in the local workforce by offering them a pathway to permanent residence.
