Yukon Skilled Worker Program
The Yukon Skilled Worker Program covers NOC 0, A or B occupational skills, including Managerial jobs – NOC skill 0, Professional jobs – NOC skill A and Technical jobs and skilled trades jobs – NOC skill B.
Foreign nationals with one or more of these skills are eligible to apply to obtain an Express Entry profile through the Federal government by scoring at least 65 out of 100 on the Express Entry points grid. The YTNP may access your profile from the Express Entry pool, and if you are found to be a good candidate for settlement in the province, may invite you to apply to one of the province’s immigration programs. If you meet the criteria and score well on the province’s programs points grid, the YSNP may nominate your application to be placed into the IRCC’s pool to have a chance at being selected for consideration for permanent resident status.
The 3 economic immigration programs eligible for the Express Entry system, are Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class.
