Yukon PNP.
The North, through your employer.
The Yukon Nominee Program is employer-driven: a Yukon employer nominates a worker they can’t fill locally. It suits people who already have (or can secure) a genuine Yukon job offer, with an Express-Entry-aligned option for eligible skilled workers.

Live tracker
Yukon in 2026, by the numbers.
282
Nomination places for 2026. This authority does not publish round-level counts, so there is no progress figure to show.
IRCC allocated Yukon a maximum of 282 nominations for 2026. Yukon publishes its intake calendar but not the number of invitations issued.
No round-level data is published for this program. Two fixed EOI intakes - counts not published.
Yukon does run a ranked selection, but only twice a year and only through employers. Employers submit an Expression of Interest during one of two intake windows, EOIs are scored against the published 2026 priorities, and the highest-ranking submissions receive a Letter of Invitation to apply. IRCC allocated a maximum of 282 nominations for 2026 and Yukon states it expects significantly more applications than spaces. Priority in 2026 goes to regulated health care professionals, employers in rural Yukon, and candidates who have lived and worked in Yukon for at least a year, are Yukon University graduates, are Francophone or French-speaking, or held a Temporary Measure Letter of Support in 2024 or 2025. The three streams are Critical Impact Worker (TEER 4-5), Skilled Worker (TEER 0-3) and Yukon Express Entry.
