Yukon Nominee Program (YPNP)
The Yukon labor market, which has a population of just over 30,000, is in dire need of foreign skilled workers to meet the high demand for skilled and semi-skilled occupations.
YNP streams consist of:
- Critical impact worker
- Skilled worker
- Express entry
- Community Program for Yukon (includes a Critical Impact Worker and Skilled Worker stream).
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) of the job offer determines your stream:
- Occupations in NOC Skill Levels C or D fall under the Critical Impact Worker stream.
- Occupations in NOC Skill Levels 0, A, or B fall under the Skilled Worker stream.
For example, if you’ve been offered a job as a Food Counter Attendant (NOC code 6711), you’d apply under the Critical Impact Worker stream because you fall under NOC skill level D.
Employers who want to nominate a skilled worker can do so through the Skilled Worker or Express Entry channels.
