About the YNP
The Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) nominates foreign workers for permanent residence when a Yukon employer needs them. After nomination, the worker applies to IRCC, which makes the final decision.
Streams and status (as of 2026-10-10)
| Stream | Status |

| Skilled Worker | No intake open |
| Critical Impact Worker | No intake open |

- Employer-led. The Yukon employer applies, not the worker alone.
- Fixed intake windows. Yukon accepts applications only during announced windows. Both 2026 windows (2026-01-19 to 2026-01-30 and 2026-07-06 to 2026-07-17) are closed, and no 2027 intake had been announced as of 2026-10-10.
The Yukon government's website limits automated access, so check the Yukon Nominee Program page directly for the next intake and current criteria.

How we can help
Anasse Boulbaroud, RCIC, can help Yukon employers and workers prepare before the next intake window opens, and prepare the IRCC application after nomination. Yukon and IRCC make every decision, so no one can promise a nomination or an approval. Book a consultation.
