Human capital factors (up to 69)

Highest level of education completed The grid lists “Trades Certificate/Diploma” at 7 points and “Diploma/Certificate” at 4. It gives only the names and does not define which credentials count as trades. Official details → A trades certificate or diploma scores 7 and a diploma or certificate scores 4. The grid does not say how the two are told apart.

Where your highest level of education was completed The grid item is “Location of Highest Level of Education Completed in Canada”: 10 for Alberta, 6 for another province or territory. Education completed outside Canada has no row. The grid does not limit this to any level of education. Official details → Only where your highest level of education was completed counts.

English result (lowest of the four skills) English CLB 6+ is 10, 5 is 8, 4 is 5; French NCLC 6+ is 8, 5 is 5, 4 is 3; 3 or lower or no test is 0. To convert test scores to CLB/NCLC, use IRCC’s equivalency charts (linked from the official grid). Official details → Use the lowest of the four skills on the test. English and French are each scored and the higher counts; both at 4 or higher adds 3.

French result (lowest of the four skills) To submit an EOI you need CLB/NCLC 4 in all four skills in at least one language.

Language points (out of 13) —

Total work experience (in Canada and abroad) The grid says only “Includes all experience accumulated in Canada and abroad.” It does not say how part-time work is counted. The lowest row is “Less than 6 months” (3 points); there is no separate row for no experience. Official details → Experience in Canada and abroad both count. The grid sets no time window and does not require the experience to be related to the job offer.

Work experience in Canada Alberta and other provinces are each scored and the higher counts.

Age

Family member living in Alberta A parent, child or sibling living in Alberta who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident over 18. In-laws do not count.

Economic factors (up to 31)

Alberta job offer The grid does not define permanent full-time. The location, sector and regulated-occupation items refer to an Alberta job offer without saying it must be the permanent full-time kind. Official details → Only a permanent full-time Alberta job offer earns these 10 points.

Job offer in a select rural community or sector Rural Renewal: you need an endorsement letter from a designated community at the time you submit the EOI to qualify for selection and receive the points. Tourism and hospitality: the employer must belong to a required sector association, listed in Table 2 of the stream’s eligibility page. Law enforcement: the employer must be a member of the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police (AACP). Official details → Any one of the three earns 6, up to 6. The Rural Renewal endorsement letter must already be in hand when you submit the EOI.

Location of the Alberta job offer The Calgary and Edmonton census metropolitan areas follow Statistics Canada’s lists of census subdivisions, which the grid links to (see the points table below). The designated communities are listed on the Rural Renewal community page. Official details → Calgary and Edmonton census metropolitan areas score 0; a Rural Renewal designated community or anywhere else in Alberta scores 5.

Regulated occupation in Alberta, with certification or licence Regulated occupations include professions governed by professional regulatory bodies and designated trades governed by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT). For a trade you need a valid Alberta Qualification Certificate or a trade certificate recognized by AIT; all designated or regulated trades can claim the 10 points. If certification is not compulsory in your occupation and you do not have a trade certificate, you cannot claim them. Licensing requirements by occupation are on the Government of Alberta’s alis site. Official details → The job offer must be in an occupation regulated in Alberta, and you must already hold the certification or licence recognized in Alberta.

Alberta also selects by occupation, sector and other factors and does not disclose recent draw parameters, so this shows whether your score is in range, not whether you would be invited.

How this comparison works

Source: Table 10 (draw information) on Alberta’s AAIP processing information page, as collected by this site. The minimum is the official “Minimum score of invited candidates” for that draw.
Not just the score: Alberta says the EOI score is not the only factor it uses to select candidates, and to protect program integrity it does not disclose recent draw parameters. NOC, NAICS industry code, IRCC status, wage and hours are collected but earn no points; they are used to select for draws.
Another stream: Alberta may invite you to a stream or pathway other than the one you choose in your EOI.
No pool position: Alberta publishes the number of EOIs in the pool by preferred stream only, not by score, so there is no way to show where you sit in the pool.
Draw dates: Each row is the most recent draw for that stream. Some streams draw rarely, so check the date: a draw from months ago says little about the next one.

You do not need a minimum score to submit a Worker EOI. A $135 fee applies on submission (since April 7, 2026), and the EOI stays in the pool for 12 months.

NOC, NAICS industry code, IRCC status, wage and hours are collected in the EOI but earn no points; Alberta uses them to select for draws.
