Alberta shares the results of a new immigration raffle
The results of the selection held at the end of October became known.
On October 26, as part of the provincial immigration program, the Alberta government sent 248 invitations to apply for nomination from the province. The drawing took place among applicants who participated in the provincial immigration stream with selection through Express Entry.
The minimum passing score on the complex ranking system was 300. It has not changed from previous selection, which took place on October 12. The passing score in the Alberta drawings has not changed since August of this year.
To receive an invitation in the drawing, applicants had to have a profile in the Express Entry system, which Canada uses to process permanent residence applications for the three federal immigration programs:
- for qualified professionals;
- for professionals with experience in Canada;
- for working professionals.
Candidates who receive a provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 points. This almost guarantees an invitation in a subsequent Express Entry drawing.
To increase your chances of receiving an invitation from the Province of Alberta, keep an eye on history of passing scores and number of invitations.
