Alberta — Express Entry Stream
Alberta's Express Entry Stream nominates EE candidates with ties to Alberta — often at a low CRS floor.
Who it's for
- An active Express Entry profile.
- Ties to Alberta strengthen your chances of being selected.
Key requirements
- A competitive Express Entry CRS (recent cutoffs near 300)
Requirements are simplified for planning. Always confirm the full, current criteria on the official page before you apply.
Estimated processing time
Federal PR stage: about 6 months if nominated through Express Entry, about 13 months for a base (non-Express Entry) nomination — plus the province's own nomination time.
