Extend your nomination or work permit

Yukon Nominee Program participants (approved employers and nominees) can apply for a 1-time nomination extension. 

You should apply for an extension at least four weeks before the nomination or work permit expires. There is no guarantee an extension will be issued.

To be eligible, you must continue to meet all the conditions of your original nomination, including:

• Performing the duties listed in your Guaranteed Employment Offer;
• holding a valid work permit;
• working full-time and year-round; and
• working in the same position (NOC) and for the same employer.

The Government of Canada issues work permits.

If you are a Yukon nominee, you may apply for a new work permit if:

• You have a valid nomination letter and support letter; or
• You submitted your permanent residence application before your nomination expired.
