Apply to extend your nomination and work permit

Yukon Nominee Program participants can apply for a nomination and a 1-time work-permit extension. There is no guarantee an extension will be issued.

Visit us at least 30 days before your documents expire so we have plenty of time to process your application.

The extension request is subject to all conditions that were in place at the time the original nomination certificate was issued.
