Welcome to Yukon

Like many other cities and provinces in Canada, Yukon also has a diverse population with 25% of it being indigenous. The province is also known for being a warm community with volunteers who are willing to assist newcomers. To attract more immigrants and help contribute to the province’s economic development, Yukon Province offers a Provincial Nomination Program that helps immigrants who want to settle in the province to be able to get to Canada faster. One of the main agencies that welcomes and helps immigrants to the province is the Multicultural Centre of Yukon.

What is the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)?

Because Yukon only has an estimate of over 30,000 people, their government created a provincial nominee program that will attract foreign workers to immigrate and settle in their province. That way, these immigrants will also help boost their economy and community while staying in their country.
