A September Spike in Invitations
Alberta issued 1,376 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to probable immigrants between September 2 and 10, 2025. The ITAs primarily went to applicants who had substantively qualified Alberta job offers in work occupations that had labour market shortages.
Most of the draws occurred in relation to the Alberta Express Entry Stream and Dedicated Health Care Pathway, which aligns with the province’s further emphasis to meet key occupations in sectors of healthcare, building, aviation, and farming.

Express Entry Pathway: A Direct Route for High-Demand Talent
In-demand industries currently prioritized include:
- Construction
- Agriculture
- Aviation
Candidates with experience in these fields may be contacted by the province through a Notification of Interest (NOI) if their profiles meet Alberta’s current labour needs.
This stream also includes:
- Tech-Focused Accelerated Pathway
- Healthcare Professionals Pathway
- Law Enforcement Stream
- First cousins
Each of these sub-pathways responds to specific workforce gaps that Alberta aims to fill in the near future.
Why This Matters to Applicants
For candidates in the Express Entry pool as well as candidates who receive job offers in Alberta, this increased activity in draws indicates a good possibility of being chosen before this year’s quota gets exhausted.
