Alberta Immigration Draws
Alberta has shared details of its first three immigration draws of 2025, held between February 3 and February 6. These draws focused on specific categories:
- Rural Renewal Stream – for people willing to live and work in smaller communities.
- Dedicated Health Care Pathway (Express Entry) – for healthcare workers applying through Canada’s Express Entry system.
- Dedicated Health Care Pathway (Non-Express Entry) – for healthcare workers applying outside Express Entry.
Here are the results of each draw:
| Date | Stream | Minimum Score Required | Invitations Issued |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 3, 2025 | Rural Renewal Stream | 68 | 190 |
| February 5, 2025 | Health Care Pathway (Express Entry) | 52 | 70 |
| February 6, 2025 | Health Care Pathway (Non-Express Entry) | 50 | 48 |
💡 Express Entry is a fast-track system for skilled workers who want to move to Canada. The non-Express Entry option is for those who do not qualify for Alberta’s Express Entry stream but still meet healthcare worker requirements.
