Alberta announced a major change to its immigration process on August 7, 2024. Starting September 30, the province will launch a new Expression of Interest system, replacing its current monthly application approach. This new system will allow potential immigrants to submit their interest at any time, with candidates ranked based on skills and experience. Alberta will regularly select top-ranked individuals who match the province’s job market needs, inviting them to apply for immigration. Officials say this change aims to streamline the process and better attract immigrants who can contribute to Alberta’s economy. This significant shift aims to boost workforce growth and economic development in Alberta
