AAIP draw results: the latest Alberta PNP draw

Latest AAIP draw by stream

Alberta draws from each stream on its own schedule, so the latest round differs by stream. The table shows the most recent AAIP draw for every stream, newest first, with the range of minimum scores that stream has cleared in 2026 (alberta.ca, AAIP processing information, Table 10, last updated September 23, 2026).

AAIP draws this month and this year

Alberta held 9 AAIP draws in September 2026, the latest on September 23, 2026, and invited 1,101 candidates (not counting 1 draw published as fewer than 10). Minimum scores in September ran from 49 to 62. No AAIP draw had been published in October as of October 5, 2026.

Across 2026 to date, Alberta held 80 AAIP draws between January 26 and September 23, 2026. They invited 13,083 candidates in total (not counting 6 draws that Alberta reports only as fewer than 10 invitations), and minimum scores ranged from 45 to 73.

How AAIP EOI draws work

An AAIP EOI draw is a round in which Alberta invites the highest-scoring candidates from its Worker Expression of Interest pool, in one stream or sector, to apply for a provincial nomination. The steps are the same for every stream (alberta.ca, how to apply to AAIP worker streams, checked 4 October 2026).

1. Submit a Worker EOI. The fee is $135(from April 7, 2026). The EOI is scored out of 100, made up of 69 human capital points and 31 economic points, and stays in the pool for 12 months.
2. Alberta runs a draw. It picks a stream or sector, sets the number of invitations and invites the top-ranked candidates in that pool. The lowest score invited is the published minimum for the round. Alberta publishes no draw calendar.
3. Accept and apply. You have 15 days to accept an invitation, then 30 days to complete, submit and pay for the application. The AAIP application fee is $1,500 and is non-refundable once submitted.
4. Nomination, then IRCC. A nomination is not permanent residence. You then apply to IRCC, which makes the final decision. Draws under the Alberta Express Entry Stream (Accelerated Tech, Law Enforcement and the priority sectors) also need an active federal Express Entry profile, and a nomination adds 600 CRS points.

AAIP and Alberta PNPare the same program: the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program is the current name of Alberta's provincial nominee program, formerly the AINP. Each draw is for one stream, so the cut-off that matters is the one for the stream you qualify for. Stream rules are on our Alberta (AAIP) overview, and you can score your own EOI with the free AAIP points calculator.

AAIP minimum scores by stream in 2026

The Alberta Opportunity Stream cleared between 50 and 65 across 12 draws, Accelerated Tech between 55 and 63, Rural Renewal between 50 and 55 and Tourism and Hospitality between 71 and 73. Alberta sets each cut-off fresh from the pool and the number of invitations, so a past minimum shows a range, not a pass mark.

AAIP draw results: every 2026 round

The table lists all 80 AAIP draws from January 26 to September 23, 2026, newest first, with the stream, the invitations issued and the minimum Worker EOI score of the candidates invited. It mirrors Table 10 on alberta.ca's AAIP processing page, and we re-check it after every round.

How much of Alberta's 2026 allocation is left?

Alberta has 1,382 of its 6,603 2026 nominations left, after issuing 5,221, with 1,092 applications waiting to be processed (alberta.ca, AAIP processing information, last updated September 23, 2026). The Tourism and Hospitality Stream has the least room: 15 of its 156 spaces remain.

Waiting for a round you can clear? We help candidates raise a Worker EOI for the Alberta Opportunity Stream, target the Accelerated Tech Pathway or the Dedicated Health Care Pathway, or compare Alberta with the latest federal Express Entry draws and other provincial nominee programs. A consultation is free (see our fees page), and we never guarantee an outcome.
