Together, the five draws issued 425 invitations. The Rural Renewal Stream was drawn twice in this period, both times with a minimum score of 51.

The published scores are Alberta EOI scores, not CRS

The AAIP table lists the minimum score of the candidates invited in Alberta's own expression of interest (EOI) system. Even for the Express Entry pathway of the Dedicated Health Care Pathway, it is not the federal Comprehensive Ranking System score.

Alberta also states that the EOI score is not the only factor it uses to select candidates, and that it does not disclose recent draw parameters. A score at or above a published minimum does not guarantee an invitation in a later draw.

After an invitation

An invitation lets the candidate submit a full AAIP application. It is not a nomination. The candidate must still meet every requirement of the stream or pathway, including work authorization, occupation, licensing, job offer and, for the Rural Renewal Stream, support from a designated Alberta community.
