The Yukon Nominee Program (YNP), also known as Yukon PNP, is an
immigration program designed to attract skilled workers and business
people to the Yukon territory in Canada. It is a collaborative program
between the Government of Yukon and Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The program offers a pathway to permanent
residency (PR) for individuals who have the skills and experience that
are in demand in the territory.
