YUKON NOMINEE PROGRAM (YNP)
- Prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may get a provincial nomination through Yukon's Provincial Nominee Program, officially called the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP).
- The Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) has been in operation since 2002. Yukon uses the YNP to attract more immigrants to the province to address the territory's labour market needs.
- The YNP targets skilled workers and businesspersons who have the work experience and required education to succeed in the Yukon Territory.
- Yukon welcomes a few hundred immigrants per year. This, however, makes up almost one per cent of the population. The population of the territory recently reached a record-high of over 40,000.
