Alberta Temporarily Halts Opportunity Stream to Prioritize Sector Needs

Alberta has paused its Alberta Opportunity Stream to realign its immigration focus towards sectors with labor shortages, including healthcare and technology. This strategic move aims to optimize the province's workforce by prioritizing critical areas.

Meanwhile, a new stream targeting the tourism and hospitality sector will launch on March 1, designed for individuals with at least six months of industry experience and a valid job offer in Alberta.

This initiative supports Alberta's goal to address labor market needs and maintain its attractiveness as a premier destination, leveraging immigration as a key tool for economic development.
