New Year's immigration screening in Alberta
The province has invited health care workers to attend.
The Province of Alberta has reported a little belatedly on the results of the immigration draw held back on January 2. A New Year's gift in the form of an invitation to permanent residence was given to 42 people who scored 309 points or more in the Comprehensive Ranking System.
This selection was made among candidates from the health care industry with a job offer in the province. A number of requirements had to be met in order to participate:
- have an active profile in the Express Entry system;
- meet the minimum criteria of one of the three federal programs:
- to score at least 300 points;
- receive a job offer in Alberta in the health care industry;
- meet the requirements for obtaining a license to practice the profession;
- have one of the eligible professions — full list at the link.
Separate drawings for healthcare workers in Alberta are held regularly, most recently on Dec. 5, when the pass rate was slightly lower. Points are awarded for age, education, work experience, language skills and other factors.
We will continue to follow the history of selections in Alberta to keep you updated.
