The Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that offers immigration pathways for foreign nationals to become Canadian permanent residents. With a population of just over 30,000 people, the Yukon territory has a high demand for skilled and semi-skilled occupations, making it an attractive option for foreign skilled workers. The YNP offers several immigration streams, each with its own eligibility criteria, application requirements, and procedures.

Candidates who receive a provincial nomination from this stream can apply directly for Canadian permanent residence from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
