How it compares
The cut-off did not move: the draw of April 9, 2026 closed at the same 50. It was a smaller round by 62 invitations — the previous one issued 74. The gap was 22 days; the last 6 draws in this stream have averaged 16 days apart.
Across the last 6 draws in this stream, this is the lowest cut-off of the set (the range is 50 to 55). By volume it is the smallest of the set, which runs from 12 to 349 invitations.
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 Rural Renewal Stream 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.
What it means for your profile
A score of 50 or above in the Alberta (AAIP) stream on May 1, 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. We do not use these numbers to predict the next round. What a round closes at depends on the pool on that date and on the instructions in force, so this figure describes what happened and nothing more.
