In May 2025, the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) officially launched a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system to streamline immigration intake. The YNP has begun issuing Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence to skilled workers under a transparent, merit-based process.
Key Changes in 2025
The EOI system was introduced to address growing demand and improve the efficiency of processing. Highlights include:
- Candidates must create an EOI profile on the Yukon government portal
- Profiles are ranked based on points including job offer, language skills, education, and experience
- Draws are held periodically, with the top-ranking candidates receiving invitations
Streams Eligible Under the New EOI System
The following YNP streams are part of the EOI system:
- Skilled Worker Program
- Critical Impact Worker Program
- Express Entry-aligned stream
The Business Nominee Program continues to operate separately.
