Yukon Nominee Program guidance for employers and workers.
Dolphin Immigration is based in Calgary and offers remote consultations to Yukon employers and individuals exploring the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP). The program is employer-driven: Yukon employers submit expressions of interest and applications, while foreign workers must meet the requirements for the relevant stream.
Three Yukon Nominee Program streams
The Government of Yukon currently describes three streams: Critical Impact Worker for eligible TEER 4 and 5 positions, Skilled Worker for eligible TEER 0 to 3 positions, and Yukon Express Entry for eligible workers in the federal Express Entry pool with a qualifying Yukon employer. Stream choice and requirements depend on the position and current program rules.
For the employer-driven streams, the employer submits the program application. A worker cannot submit a YNP application independently of an eligible Yukon employer.
Employer expression of interest and invitations
The Yukon’s 2026 process uses employer-submitted expressions of interest that are scored against that year’s priorities. Higher-ranking submissions may be invited to submit a complete application; an expression of interest is not itself a program application or a guarantee of invitation.
The Government of Yukon lists both 2026 expression-of-interest intake periods as closed. The next intake dates and priorities should be checked on the official Yukon program page when announced. The 2026 priorities included regulated health-care professionals, employers in rural Yukon, and specified connections such as Yukon work experience, Yukon University graduation or French-language ability.
The official process describes priority-based scoring rather than a stable public points grid, so this page does not provide a points calculator.
Remote Yukon PNP consultations
We offer remote consultations for employers and individuals in Whitehorse and other Yukon communities. Employer questions may involve program stream fit, recruitment records, the expression-of-interest process and application preparation. Worker consultations can help clarify the employer-led process and information relevant to the worker’s stream.
Dolphin Immigration’s office is in Calgary. We do not have an office in Yukon. Any engagement is subject to confirming the appropriate scope and facts of the matter.
Check the official Yukon information
Program streams, intake dates, priorities and criteria can change. Confirm the current rules directly with the Government of Yukon before relying on them.
What to know before you begin.
Can a foreign worker apply to the Yukon Nominee Program without an employer?
The Yukon Nominee Program is employer-driven. For the employer-driven streams, the Yukon employer submits the expression of interest and application; the foreign worker must meet the applicable requirements.
Is there a Yukon PNP points calculator?
The Government of Yukon describes its 2026 expression-of-interest scoring as based on that year’s priorities. This page does not offer a calculator because a stable public points grid is not provided in the official process information. Check current Yukon guidance for future intakes.
Are 2026 Yukon EOI intakes still open?
The Government of Yukon currently lists both 2026 expression-of-interest intake periods as closed. Check the official Yukon page for any future intake announcements.
Can I consult with Dolphin Immigration from Whitehorse or elsewhere in Yukon?
Yes. We offer remote consultations to Yukon clients. Dolphin Immigration is based in Calgary and has no Yukon office.
