Alberta announced nomination certificate limits and invited healthcare workers

Every year, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) carefully determines the total number of Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates that each province can nominate annually. On May 22, 2024, Alberta published an update on the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) nomination certificate limits. In 2023, the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AAIP) issued 10,029 nomination certificates, including 279 under a federal buffer for Express Entry. For 2024, the AAIP has an allocation of 9,750 nominations, the same as last year’s. In addition, on May 1, 2024, the AAIP invited 40 candidates under the Dedicated Healthcare Pathway. In this draw, the minimum score was 305 points. This year, Alberta invited 499 candidates through the AAIP Express Entry streams.
