These recent draws included the first selection for manufacturing jobs under the Alberta Express Entry Stream, following the addition of manufacturing as a priority sector in January this year.
In addition to this, the Rural Renewal Stream, which happened on Feb 10, 2026 was the largest compared to the last two weeks. It was also the first draw held after new rules came into effect on January 1.
So these recently changed rules are suitable for candidates who stay in Canada with a proper work permit.
