The northernmost territory of Canada, the Yukon, developed the Yukon Community Pilot program, which is a component of the Yukon PNP.

The Yukon Community Pilot Program was developed to meet the territory’s economic and labor market needs. The candidate will receive a work permit under this scheme for two years and then apply for a permanent resident visa for Canada. The Yukon government established this initiative in January 2020, and it will be available for 3 years, through June 2023. A candidate for the Yukon community pilot program may work for two to three employers in the Yukon community.

Steps Applying for the Yukon Community Pilot Program:

Step 1: Fill out job applications

The immigrants must first submit applications for two or three employment offers that fit their profile.

Step 2: Submitting a nomination application

To enter Canada, the immigrant must apply for the Yukon Provincial Nominee Program. The Yukon government will send them a letter of nomination. Depending on their skill level, immigrants can apply for either the skilled worker program or the vital impact worker program for a Yukon work permit.

Additionally, the Yukon government must provide the immigrant with a letter of support that is signed. The letter should include information on the position’s location, hours worked, type of work, employer, etc. The letter should attest to the employer’s requirement for the immigrant to reside and work in the neighborhood.

Step 3: Obtaining a Work Permit

The immigrant can apply for a Yukon work permit after receiving a job offer and letters from the Yukon government. The immigrant may work for any employer with some restrictions thanks to the Yukon work permit. Furthermore, the immigrant might obtain the Yukon work permit without the LMIA’s permission.
