Three draws issued 722 invitations
- September 9 — Dedicated Health Care Pathway, Express Entry: 51 invitations; minimum Worker EOI score 60.

- September 1 — Alberta Opportunity Stream: 575 invitations; minimum Worker EOI score 56.
The published scores are Alberta Worker EOI scores, not CRS
AAIP identifies the threshold in each result as the minimum Worker Expression of Interest score. Even when the named pathway is linked to Express Entry, the number shown in Alberta's table is not the federal Comprehensive Ranking System score.
The province can also select according to labour-market priorities and information in a candidate's EOI. A candidate at or above a published minimum is not guaranteed an invitation in a later draw.
Each pathway keeps its own eligibility rules
The health-care pathway requires an eligible regulated health profession and qualifying Alberta employment conditions. Accelerated Tech candidates need a valid Express Entry profile and qualifying tech occupation and Alberta employment. The Alberta Opportunity Stream is generally for eligible temporary foreign workers already working full-time in Alberta in a qualifying occupation.
An invitation does not replace the rules for work authorization, language, occupation, licensing, job offer, employer or Express Entry status. Candidates should verify that every requirement remains satisfied before submitting a full application.
