Yukon Nominee Program to Implement Intake-Based Approach in 2025
Post by : Admin on Jan 14,2025
Yukon is all set to accept applications under the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) on an intake-based approach in 2025. This means the YNP will accept the applications during specific periods or in limited numbers, rather than being open constantly. They will stop accepting applications once the number of applications has hit the fixed cap for a given intake.
When will the YNP open its first intake in 2025?
The Yukon Nominee Program will begin its first 2025 intake on 29th January. The government will accept a maximum of 125 applications through the first intake. They haven’t set a fixed schedule for the intakes yet. However, it is reported that the YNP is most likely to hold intakes quarterly in the future.
The size and frequency of 2025 intakes may differ based on the number of nominations the YNP receives from the Canadian federal government.
Why was this change of approach necessary?
In 2024, the YNP received an increasing number of applications which exceeded the maximum allocation for nominations in Yukon. Thus, the program decided to stop applications submitted by Whitehorse employers that year to control the number of applications being accepted and streamline the process. This will help the YNP clear backlogs and process applications faster.
The labour market demands in Yukon fluctuate based on economic growth, seasonal industries and population trends. Intakes will enable the program to address the most pressing labour shortages in specific industries or occupations.
What is the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)?
The Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) is a Canadian immigration pathway for Yukon to nominate eligible candidates for permanent residency. It is a collaboration between the Government of Yukon and IRCC with the purpose of addressing labour marketing shortages in the territory.
A foreign national must complete the application with their employer to be eligible for territorial YNP nomination. You will receive the nomination letter from Yukon if the application gets through. You can then apply for permanent residence to the Canadian federal government through the YNP.
You can get your eligibility assessed by licensed immigration consultants at top-reputed firms like Onkar Immigration. The professionals are trained to explain and guide you through all the nitty-gritty of the Yukon Nominee Program.
