Provincial Nominee Program – Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)
The Yukon Nominee Program is operated jointly by the Government of Yukon and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to invite qualified, skilled workers and business persons from abroad. Contact us for Yukon Provincial Nominee Program.
Prospective immigrants with their dependent family members are nominated for permanent residency to the federal government.
If you wish to reside, work, do business and live in Yukon, you can apply for the YNP. It consists of many immigration streams including but not limited to:
Skilled Worker
In this skilled worker program, Yukon employers can identify specific foreign nationals who are employed in National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Levels including 0, A, or B. They can sponsor these skilled workers for permanent residency in Canada.
Yukon Express Entry (YEE)
In this program, Yukon employers have access to IRCC’s Express Entry pool of candidates to fill their vacant job positions that are not getting filled with permanent residents or Canadian citizens. If you have a valid full-time employment offer from a Yukon employer, you can apply for this immigration category.
Critical Impact Worker
The Critical Impact Worker Program is an employer-driven immigration stream in which a valid job offer is required to apply. It helps Yukon employers to identify foreign nationals working or having experience in an unskilled or semi-skilled occupation with high demand. If you have the necessary skills and a valid permanent full-time job offer, you can apply under this program.
