Come home to Alberta

Alberta has so much to offer! With diversity in people and landscapes, and opportunities across the province, it’s no wonder people flock here. Alberta offers a strong economy, a low cost of living, and outstanding quality of life.

Our world-famous Rocky Mountains are just one example of the natural beauty. There’s also winding forest trails, expansive prairie skies, and crystal-clear lakes. Discover clean air, an excellent public education system, leading-edge healthcare, and an abundance of career opportunities for you and your family.

There's a career and a lifestyle that’s right for you.


Find your ideal setting

Healthcare facilities in our urban centres have been recognized for excellence in teaching and learning, are home to innovative groundbreaking treatments, and provide numerous opportunities to specialize deeply in your field. Vibrant and multicultural, city life in Alberta offers lively arts and cultural experiences, professional sporting events, shopping, and dining.

Practicing in a rural community can bring unique opportunities to work to your full scope of practice, grow your career, and a welcoming atmosphere for you and your family, close to the great outdoors. Experience a different pace of life, with a shorter commute that allows you to spend more time on what matters to you. Urban or rural, you can build the life and career you want!
