Dear future neighbour,
Alberta’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) continued to focus on law enforcement professionals in its recent immigration rounds. By August 2025, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) had already carried out five separate draws under the Law Enforcement Pathway.
Purpose of the Law Enforcement Pathway
The Law Enforcement Pathway was introduced in June 2024 to strengthen recruitment for Alberta police services and address labour shortages in public safety. The stream was designed to attract skilled professionals who can contribute to crime reduction and community protection.
To qualify, candidates are required to:
-
Secure a job offer from an Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police (AACP) member organization.
-
Satisfy all Express Entry requirements set by IRCC.
Eligible Occupations
Occupations that may be nominated under this pathway include:
-
Commissioned and non-commissioned police officers and related roles in public protection.
-
Police investigators and other investigative positions.
-
Specialized law enforcement occupations.
Alberta Express Entry Pathways
Within the AAIP Express Entry stream, Alberta focuses on priority sectors through three distinct pathways:
-
Dedicated Health Care Pathway
-
Accelerated Tech Pathway
-
Law Enforcement Pathway
Draw from August 13–20
On August 19, 2025, Alberta held another draw targeting law enforcement professionals through this pathway.
-
Number of invitations issued: fewer than 10
-
Minimum CRS score: 45
This was one of the lowest cut-off scores observed in 2025, highlighting Alberta’s strong commitment to bringing in law enforcement candidates.
Nomination Progress in 2025
By August 27, 2025, Alberta reported the following updates for the Law Enforcement Pathway:
| Stream | 2025 Nomination Allocation | Nominations Issued | Nominations Remaining | EOIs in Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Law Enforcement Pathway | 20 | 11 | 9 | 123 |
Ongoing Draws in 2025
Alberta’s Provincial Nominee Program has already conducted five rounds of invitations under the Law Enforcement Pathway this year. With fewer than half of the available nominations left, candidates in the pool still have promising opportunities to be selected in upcoming draws.
