The Expression of Interest (EOI) intake for employers who want to apply to the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP) in 2025 is now open.
The intake period for the Expression of Interest opened on March 31 at 9 am Yukon Standard Time. Employers must submit the online form by 4:30 pm Yukon Standard Time on April 22, 2025.
To be added to the Expression of Interest pool, employers submit basic information about the foreign worker they intend to nominate. People can learn more about the Yukon Nominee Program process for 2025 and access the online form on Yukon.ca.
From this pool, the department will invite selected employers to submit a full application to the Yukon Nominee Program, based on whether their candidate falls into one or more of the following priority areas:
- Foreign nationals who have lived and worked in the Yukon for at least one year
- Yukon University graduates
- Francophone or French-speaking candidates
- Temporary Measure Letter of Support recipients
This process will allow the Government of Yukon to invite employers to submit Yukon Nominee Program applications for foreign nationals in locations or positions that align with the 2025 priorities.
-
Employers do not need to submit an Expression of Interest if they already applied to the program in 2024. However, the priorities for the 2025 intake will apply to these carry-over applications. The department will contact employers who have existing 2024 applications with more information.
-
Moving to an Expression of Interest model is consistent with other jurisdictions in Canada, as the Government of Yukon works to adapt to the changing immigration landscape across the country.
-
At the end of the Expression of Interest intake, the government will post the number of submissions received on Yukon.ca.
-
Priority areas for 2025 were identified based on close discussion with industry organizations and feedback from the Yukon business community.
-
The maximum number of foreign nationals that the Yukon can nominate in 2025 is 215.
