To ensure that religious organizations can better serve their congregations, Alberta’s government is taking steps to attract these workers under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program.

- Foreign-trained skilled religious workers can take advantage of the Alberta Express Entry Stream allows Alberta to nominate qualified candidates from the federal Express Entry system who demonstrate strong ties to Alberta or work in an occupation that supports the province’s economic development and diversification.
- The changes align Alberta with other provinces, including British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, which allow religious workers to apply under their provincial immigration programs.

Newcomers who are religious professionals are now eligible to apply under the Alberta Opportunity Stream, Alberta Express Entry Stream, and Rural Renewal Stream to work with religious organizations and settle permanently in the province. Applicants must have a job offer from an Alberta-based faith organization and meet the existing criteria under the program, including language, education, and wage requirements.
“Many cultural communities in Alberta rely on spiritual leadership to help them maintain their connection to their roots and prepare for future challenges. Facilitating the coming of spiritual leaders to Alberta is an important step in recognizing the needs of immigrants and helping them settle in our province. »
