Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

Overview

The Yukon Nominee Program was developed to allow the Government of Yukon to nominate potential immigrants based on industrial and economic priorities and labour market conditions; and who, based on Yukon’s assessment, have a strong likelihood of successfully establishing themselves in Yukon society.

There are two programs the Yukon Nominee Program offers: the Skilled Worker / Critical Impact Worker Program and the Business Program. Please link to the categories listed to find out more information on each program:

Link to Business Program
The Yukon Business Nominee Program is designed to attract business expertise and investment capital to the territory. The Business Program has two components: an Entrepreneur category and a Self Employed category.

Link to Skilled Worker / Critical Impact Worker Program
The Yukon Skilled Worker Program is designed to attract qualified individuals who can help alleviate the shortage of skilled workers in the Territory who cannot be found within the current territorial or national labour market. The Critical Impact Worker Category provides Yukon employers with the means to fill semi-skilled jobs in the levels of C and D of the National Occupational Code Matrix .
