Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)
The Yukon Nominee Program is an employer-driven pathway for eligible foreign workers with a qualifying Yukon job offer. An approved nomination allows the worker to apply to IRCC for permanent residence, subject to federal requirements.
Worker streams
The three worker streams are Critical Impact Worker, Skilled Worker and Express Entry. Critical Impact Worker covers TEER 4 and 5 jobs; Skilled Worker covers TEER 0 to 3. Express Entry also requires eligibility for the federal Express Entry pool. Each stream has additional requirements.
Employer-led applications and intake
The employer submits the expression of interest and program application. An expression of interest is not a nomination application. Selected employers receive an invitation to apply and must follow the submission deadline.
As of October 8, 2026, the published January and July 2026 expression-of-interest intakes are closed. Check the official Yukon page for any new intake announcement. Selection and nomination are not guaranteed. Business immigration is a separate pathway and should not be confused with these worker streams.
English, Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil support
Our Windsor office offers consultations in English, Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil. മലയാളത്തിൽ സേവനം ലഭ്യമാണ്. We can review your circumstances, explain the applicable requirements and discuss representation. Government authorities decide all immigration outcomes.
