Along with possessing a qualifying job offer in an eligible health care profession and providing evidence of meeting regulatory body requirements, candidates needed to qualify under a federal Express Entry program and have an active profile in the pool.

Further, selection criteria mandated that candidates have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 300 and have their primary occupation in the Express Entry portal be in one of the eligible health care professions listed above.

All health care professionals were required to demonstrate an intent to reside and work in Alberta.

Alberta received 4,875 slots for its 2025 nomination allocation. To date, 2,276 provincial nominations have been issued through its various immigration streams and pathways.

On its official webpage, the AAIP features data related to each respective pathway, including

• The number of nominations to be issued;
• The number of nominations already issued;
• The number of nomination spaces still remaining; and
• The number of Expressions of Interest (EOIs) currently in the selection pool.

When it comes to data pertaining to the province’s Dedicated Health Care Pathways (Express Entry and non-Express Entry), the above-mentioned information is combined—meaning that both pathways are taken into account.

At the time of writing, these are the numbers for Alberta’s Dedicated Health Care Pathways.

Pathway	Nomination allocation for 2025	Nominations issued in 2025	Nomination spaces remaining for 2025	EOIs in the selection pool
