YUKON PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM

The Yukon PNP is one of Canada’s three territories and it shares a border with the U.S.A. state of Alaska. Like the Northwest Territories the Yukon is not densely populated, which may mean that there are lots of opportunities for Canadian immigrants. The Yukon PNP has various programs under which an individual may qualify.

The Yukon PNP Business Programs

Yukon Express Entry (YEE).

Candidates who are eligible to enter the federal Express Entry pool and are interested in living and working in Yukon may apply to the Yukon Express Entry stream (YEE). Yukon added an Express Entry stream to its existing immigration programs in March 2015. This stream allows the province to nominate individuals who are already in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) Express Entry pool and who have the necessary education, skilled work experience, language ability, and other factors to help them settle successfully and integrate into Yukon’s labour market and communities.
