Alberta Issues ITAs In The Latest Provincial Immigration Draws
Alberta issues ITAs in the latest provincial immigration draws. A total of seven draws were held in the month of September via the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP).
Invitations were extended to applicants with Alberta job offers who are well-positioned to help alleviate workforce shortages in high-demand sectors and professions.
Summary Of Draws
Between September 2 and September 10, the AAIP issued over 1,376 Invitations to Apply (ITAs), focusing primarily on its Alberta Express Entry stream and Dedicated Healthcare Pathway.
With September only at its midpoint, the AAIP has already issued more invitations than any other month in 2025.
Of the seven draws held this month, the biggest draw was on September 4, in which 891 applicants were invited through the Alberta Opportunity Stream.

The Alberta Opportunity Stream is the AAIP’s most popular immigration pathway, featuring both the largest nomination allocation of any of the province’s streams and the most Expressions of Interest (EOIs) in the AAIP’s selection pool (at nearly 42,000).
The AAIP declared earlier this year that in 2025, the Alberta Express Entry Stream would issue invitations based on priority sectors, alongside the stream’s three designated pathways:
- The Dedicated Healthcare Pathway
- The Law Enforcement Pathway
- The Accelerated Pathway
Construction, agriculture, aviation, and healthcare make up the sectors being prioritized under the Alberta Express Entry Stream.
