Yukon Nominee Program (employer-driven streams overview)
The Yukon Nominee Program is employer-led: the employer applies for a worker under one of three streams. This record covers the umbrella and the Yukon Express Entry stream, which has no slug of its own; see YT_SKILLED_WORKER and YT_CRITICAL_IMPACT for the other two.
Who it suits
- Foreign workers with a Yukon job offer; those in the Express Entry pool can use the Express Entry stream

How candidates are selected
Employers submit expressions of interest in the two windows and the territory ranks them against 2026 priorities: regulated health care professionals, rural Yukon employers, and workers who have lived and worked in Yukon 1+ year, Yukon University graduates, Francophones, or holders of a 2024-2025 Temporary Measure Letter of Support (those bypass the EOI). Applications from before July 2026 do not carry over. 2026 intake windows: 2026-01-19 to 2026-01-30 and 2026-07-06 to 2026-07-17 (both now closed; no later window was announced on the pages checked). IRCC allocated a maximum of 282 nominations for 2026.
Location requirement: Job offer from a Yukon employer.
