The Alberta government has announced that candidates for the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program can now update their Worker Expressions of Interest (WEOI). WEOIs are valid for one year after submission. Editing a WEOI does not extend or change its validity.
Candidates may also reject invitations to streams they are not interested in and return to the WEOI pool before the 15-day invitation period ends.
Candidates who created and paid the WEOI fee between 7 April and May 26, 2026, and who needed to cancel their WEOI to make edits, may request a refund of their original WEOI fee through the Opportunity Alberta contact form.
The following are not eligible for a refund:
- Candidates who cancelled their WEOI and submitted a new one during an invitation period.
- Candidates who cancelled their WEOI because they needed to update their Express Entry profile (Express Entry profile updates are not eligible for a refund).
