You are only eligible if you have a work permit or expired work permit. Do you have a job offer?

Yes i have job offer and i got nomination from Alberta on the basis of job offer and relative in Alberta.
Any possibility i can apply for work permit because i need health card as soon as possible my wife is pregnant and need to deliver baby.

Is through Express Entry. No you cannot apply for a work permit unless your employer files for a LMIA and then you can apply for a work permit. Plan to pay for the birth if she is due soon. You don’t get healthcare until you are both PR.
