PNP — YUKON

Yukon Nominee Program (YNP).

YNP is a small but focused employer-driven program — 282 nomination slots for 2026 across three worker streams and a business nominee path. The Yukon runs two limited intake windows each year (January 19–30 and July 6–17 in 2026). We handle YNP files end to end from Ontario.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

How YNP works.

YNP is employer-driven — the Yukon employer (not the candidate) submits the Expression of Interest. Employers must be in good standing with the Yukon government, demonstrate genuine recruitment need, and offer a permanent, full-time position. The worker is named in the employer's submission.

Intake is limited to two windows in 2026 — January 19–30 and July 6–17. The three worker streams break by NOC TEER level: Critical Impact Worker (TEER 4–5), Skilled Worker (TEER 0–3), and Yukon Express Entry (TEER 0–3 with an active Express Entry profile). The Business Nominee stream covers entrepreneurs investing in a Yukon business.

YNP STREAMS

Three worker streams plus business nominee.

The three worker streams split by NOC TEER level. Almost every YNP file starts with a Yukon employer — we coordinate the employer-side filing alongside the candidate's documentation.

WORKER · BASE

Critical Impact Worker

For entry-level and semi-skilled positions (TEER 4 and TEER 5) — service, hospitality, retail, food service, transportation support. Employer must demonstrate genuine recruitment effort and the worker must have at least 6 months Yukon work experience or a confirmed Yukon offer.

WORKER · BASE

Skilled Worker

For professional, technical, supervisory, and trades positions (TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3). Employer submits the EOI with the named candidate; the candidate must hold or be eligible for a valid work permit.

WORKER · EE-ALIGNED

Yukon Express Entry

For TEER 0–3 candidates with an active federal Express Entry profile and a Yukon employer job offer. Nomination adds 600 CRS points — effectively guarantees an ITA in the next federal draw.

BUSINESS · BASE

Business Nominee

For experienced business owners or senior managers investing in and actively operating a Yukon business. Includes a business plan, minimum investment thresholds, and good-faith deposit refunded on meeting business performance terms.

HOW WE WORK A YNP FILE

From employer EOI to PR.

Every YNP file is handled directly by Jugraj. The four steps below are the backbone — Yukon-specific details (employer due diligence, intake-window timing, business nominee deposit) slot in where needed.

01

Stream selection + employer coordination

We assess your work history, language scores, occupation, and the Yukon employer's eligibility. We map you to the right YNP stream (Critical Impact Worker, Skilled Worker, Yukon Express Entry, or Business Nominee) and coordinate the employer-side filing.

02

Employer EOI submission (intake window)

We help the Yukon employer prepare and submit the EOI naming you as the candidate during the January or July intake window. Outside these windows new EOIs aren't accepted.

03

Provincial nomination certificate

If approved, YNP issues a nomination. For Yukon Express Entry, +600 CRS is applied to your federal profile and an ITA follows in the next federal draw.

04

Federal PR application + landing

Full PR application to IRCC — medical exam, biometrics, supporting documents, security checks. We respond to procedural fairness letters and follow up on stalled files. You're walked through landing once approved.
