(ALBERTA, CANADA) – Alberta issued 1,037 invitations across six draws between June 11 and June 29, 2026, using its latest AAIP update to steer nominations toward health care, technology, aviation, skilled trades and other occupations the province has identified as priorities for 2026.

The June 30, 2026 processing-information page for the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, or AAIP, listed the six selection rounds and the minimum scores attached to them.

Several of the rounds ran through the Alberta Express Entry Stream, while another targeted health care candidates outside Express Entry.

Among the rounds disclosed on the June 30 page, Alberta held a June 29, 2026 draw for the Dedicated Health Care Pathway, non-Express Entry, and issued 75 invitations with a minimum score of 63.

A June 24, 2026 Alberta Express Entry Stream draw for Priority Sectors, covering aviation and skilled trade, issued 35 invitations with a minimum score of 47.

Alberta also ran a June 22, 2026 Dedicated Health Care Pathway draw through Express Entry, issuing 46 invitations at a minimum score of 64.

On June 19, 2026, the province issued 100 invitations through the Alberta Express Entry Stream’s Accelerated Tech Pathway at a minimum score of 59.

An earlier round in the same June sequence brought the total across all six draws to 1,037 invitations.

The June 11 round named on the processing page was an Alberta Express Entry Stream Priority Sectors draw for health care that issued 50 invitations with a minimum score of 63.

The pattern matched Alberta’s published priorities for the year. The province said it is prioritizing worker-stream draws and nominations in health care, technology, construction, manufacturing, aviation, agriculture, and Rural Renewal communities.

That list matters because the late-June activity did not spread invitations evenly across all occupational categories.

Health care appeared twice in the named rounds, technology received a dedicated selection through the Accelerated Tech Pathway, and aviation and skilled trade were paired in another Express Entry round.

Rural Renewal communities also remain part of Alberta’s 2026 selection strategy, even though the named late-June rounds highlighted on the processing page centered on health care, tech, aviation and trades.

Alberta’s stated priorities place those communities alongside sector-based draws, linking geographic demand with occupation-based demand.

The June 30 AAIP update also set out how Alberta divided nomination capacity for 2026. The Dedicated Health Care Pathways received an allocation of 500 nominations, the Accelerated Tech Pathway received 600 nominations, and priority-sector draws and other initiatives received 600 nominations.

Those figures show Alberta reserving separate space for streams tied to immediate labor demand.

Health care has its own allocation. Tech has its own allocation. Priority-sector selections and related initiatives draw from another 600 spaces.

The design of the June draws reflected that structure. Alberta did not rely on one large general selection round.

It used multiple smaller rounds with different score floors and different pathways, including both Express Entry and non-Express Entry invitations.

The lowest minimum score among the named rounds was 47 in the June 24 aviation and skilled trade draw. The highest was 64 in the June 22 Dedicated Health Care Pathway draw through Express Entry.

Health care candidates appeared in three separate parts of the June series captured on the June 30 page: the June 11 Priority Sectors draw through Express Entry, the June 22 Dedicated Health Care Pathway draw through Express Entry, and the June 29 non-Express Entry Dedicated Health Care Pathway draw.

That concentration aligned with Alberta’s decision to give the sector both dedicated pathway space and priority-sector attention.

Technology candidates saw a more focused route. Alberta used the June 19 Accelerated Tech Pathway round to issue 100 invitations at a score of 59, tying the tech selection directly to one of the stream categories that has a defined 2026 allocation.

Aviation and skilled trades were grouped together in the June 24 Priority Sectors draw under the Alberta Express Entry Stream.

That round was smaller at 35 invitations, but it carried the lowest score threshold among the disclosed late-June selections.

The latest AAIP update adds another signal about how Alberta is using Express Entry in 2026. Three of the specifically identified late-June rounds ran through Express Entry, covering health care, tech, and aviation and skilled trade, while the June 29 health care round operated outside Express Entry.

That split gives Alberta room to target workers through more than one channel.

Candidates tied to Express Entry appeared in the province’s health care, technology and aviation-related selections, while the non-Express Entry health care round pointed to a separate intake track inside the broader health care pathway.

Construction, manufacturing and agriculture remained on Alberta’s stated priority list even though the named rounds on the June 30 page did not identify standalone late-June selections for those sectors.

Rural Renewal communities also remained part of that list, placing community-based demand beside occupation-based priorities in the 2026 plan.

Alberta’s use of sector targeting is also visible in the labels attached to the draws.

Rather than a generic provincial round, the June selections were identified as Dedicated Health Care Pathway, Accelerated Tech Pathway, or Priority Sectors draws, with the Priority Sectors category specifically naming health care in one round and aviation and skilled trade in another.

The totals disclosed so far do not break the month into equal-sized rounds. The named draws ranged from 35 invitations to 100 invitations, with different minimum scores and different entry channels.

The full six-round total of 1,037 shows that Alberta paired those targeted selections with additional June activity inside the same series.

That makes the June 30 page more than a simple draw notice. It connects invitation numbers, score cutoffs and annual nomination allocations in one update, showing how Alberta is pacing selections while holding space for the sectors and communities it has identified for 2026.

Job seekers watching the AAIP update, especially those in health care, technology, aviation, skilled trades and Rural Renewal communities, now have a clearer picture of where Alberta concentrated its invitations at the end of June.

The province’s latest move was not broad-based; it was a sequence of targeted draws tied to the categories Alberta says it wants most in 2026.
