The province of Alberta has commenced its immigration selection cycle for February 2026 with significant momentum. The first Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) draw of the month saw a substantial number of candidates invited to apply for provincial nomination. This critical selection round underscores Alberta’s ongoing commitment to attracting skilled labor and boosting its provincial economy through strategic immigration pathways.
According to official reports, the draw, specifically held under the AAIP streams, resulted in 915 invitations being issued for Permanent Residency (PR). These Invitations to Apply (ITAs) are crucial steps for individuals seeking to settle permanently in Canada’s energy heartland, marking them as eligible candidates for the provincial nomination certificate which greatly strengthens their subsequent federal application for permanent status.
The high volume of invitations issued in this single selection—915 total—signals a robust and continued demand within the province for highly qualified international workers across various sectors. For aspiring immigrants monitoring the Canadian immigration landscape, this initial February draw serves as a positive indicator of Alberta’s nomination capacity and its reliance on sustained economic immigration to fill identified labor market gaps.
This proactive approach to immigration management ensures that Alberta can continue to match the skill sets of qualified newcomers with the specific needs of local industries. As the province focuses on long-term economic diversification and growth, programs like the AAIP remain essential tools in achieving demographic and economic objectives set for the coming years.

For the hundreds of individuals who were selected, this invitation represents the culmination of a rigorous application process and the potential realization of their goal to settle in British Columbia.

Canada has executed a highly significant draw under its Express Entry system, specifically targeting candidates who demonstrate proficiency in the French language. This substantial round of invitations saw 8,500 French-speaking individuals selected, marking a major effort in the nation’s strategic initiative to enhance its Francophone population across provinces outside of Quebec.
The issuance of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through the Express Entry mechanism manages applications for several of the country’s key economic immigration pathways. By dedicating a draw of this magnitude to French speakers, the Canadian government is leveraging its new Category-Based Selection tools, designed explicitly to fulfill specific demographic and labor market requirements across the vast geography of the nation.
This targeted approach underscores the federal commitment to promoting bilingualism and supporting official language minority communities. Language skills, particularly fluency in French, are increasingly viewed by policymakers not just as an asset but as an essential criterion for successful integration and for bolstering the cultural and social vitality of regions that need linguistic reinforcement.
The 8,500 successful applicants now have a critical window to submit their comprehensive applications for Permanent Residence (PR). This large-scale invitation aims to ensure that Canada meets its broader immigration goals while maintaining the linguistic balance of the country, ensuring new residents contribute effectively to both the economy and the maintenance of linguistic duality across the nation.
