Alberta has published the results of four Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) invitation rounds held between September 24 and October 7, 2026, with 476 candidates invited in total.
The rounds break down as follows:
– Priority Sectors, Aviation (October 7): 22 invitations, minimum score 56
– Alberta Opportunity Stream (October 2): 123 invitations, minimum score 54
– Priority Sectors, General (September 29): 200 invitations, minimum score 64
– Rural Renewal Stream (September 24): 131 invitations, minimum score 51
What this means for candidates: Alberta’s draws continue to target specific labour needs, from aviation to general priority sectors, while the Alberta Opportunity Stream and Rural Renewal Stream remain strong options for workers already in Alberta — neither requires an Express Entry profile, which makes them a real alternative if your CRS score is out of reach.
If Alberta is on your radar, the key is matching your occupation and situation to the right stream before the next round. Contact ImmiQuest for a personalized assessment.
