The Yukon Nominee Program is an economic immigration program. It is delivered by the Government of Yukon in partnership with the Government of Canada.
The program helps Yukon employers hire or retain foreign nationals when qualified Canadians or permanent residents are not available to fill positions.
Demand for the program has grown in recent years. At the same time the number of nomination allocations available to Yukon has declined.
Changes to Canada’s immigration system changes in the Yukon’s labour market have also created new pressures on the program.

What was this engagement about?
The Government of Yukon is modernizing its Economic Immigration Strategy to guide policy and program development over the next decade, and to ensure immigration programming continues to be responsive to the needs of Yukon’s economy. The strategy will replace the existing document that expired in 2019.
In drafting the next strategy, Yukon has an opportunity to position itself as a desirable destination for settlement for newcomers, and to strategically target newcomers most likely to enhance the territory’s economy, diversity and social fabric. The strategy will cover existing programs like the popular Yukon Nominee Program and Business Nominee Program, along with potential new programs to assist Yukon employers and continue to grow the economy with the help of immigration. The strategy applies only to economic immigration, and does not address non-economic immigration programming.
