Alberta has issued fewer than 10 invitations in a targeted immigration draw focused on law enforcement professionals.
Held on August 19, 2025, the draw invited candidates through the Alberta Express Entry Stream under the Law Enforcement Pathway, with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of just 45.
This ultra-low score indicates Alberta’s strong push to attract candidates with law enforcement backgrounds, likely in response to ongoing staffing challenges in police and public safety roles across the province.
The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) has increasingly used targeted draws to support priority sectors. The Law Enforcement Pathway is one of several initiatives that allow the province to select Express Entry candidates who meet specific occupational needs.
With less than 10 invitations issued, this draw was highly selective. Candidates in law enforcement who meet AAIP criteria and are active in the federal Express Entry pool may be eligible for future draws.
