What it means for your profile

A score of 59 or above in the Alberta (AAIP) stream on April 8, 2026 was enough to be invited in this draw. Below that, the registration stays in the province’s system for as long as that province keeps it and is considered again next time. No forecast is attached to these figures. A cut-off reflects the pool as it stood that day and the instructions in force, which is why we publish the record and leave the prediction out.

What this round selects

Provincial nominee programs run separately from the federal system: each province opens its own streams, sets its own criteria and publishes its own scores, which is why a provincial score cannot be read against a CRS cut-off. Alberta (AAIP) ran this draw in its Alberta Express Entry Stream – Accelerated Tech Pathway stream. A provincial nomination is not permanent residence in itself — it is the step that lets someone apply for it, and in the streams aligned with Express Entry it also adds 600 points to the CRS.
