Yukon’s territorial nominee program is called YNP (Yukon Nominee Program). Successful candidates, post nomination by the territory will receive the Yukon Nomination Certificate. YNP applications are processed at comparatively very less time compared other immigration streams. In other words, YNP applications fall under the fast-track category. The reason being that the population of the entire region is limited to an estimated 30,000 people, and the territorial economy’s need for workers and entrepreneurs are growing ever faster. Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) consists of 4 immigration streams. They are:
Yukon Express Entry (YEE)
Yukon Skilled Worker
Yukon Business Nominee
Yukon Critical Impact Worker
Each of these programs have been designed to meet the territory’s need of having a strong labour force, as well as businessmen and entrepreneurs. To know more about these immigration streams, contact us.
