The Yukon Community Pilot (YCP)

Yukon Community Pilot - YNP

The Yukon Community Pilot (YCP) is a new stream of the Yukon Nominee Program. This pilot was created to address the specific economic and labour market needs of the Yukon.

The Yukon needs skilled workers to meet the specific labour needs of its economy. Over the next three years, the Yukon government will issue invitations to skilled workers through the Yukon Community Pilot program in an attempt to fill gaps in the job market and recruit top tier talent to this northern territory. Qualified candidates will be granted a 2-year location-restricted open work permit.
