Yukon is the westernmost and smallest territory of Canada. It has roughly 36,000 population with breathtaking wilderness, natural resources, and welcoming people. As the smallest province, it is the major recipient of international settlers. Immigrants take advantage of this city for its economic infrastructure. Yukon has a Provincial Nomination Program that can help immigrants to settle in Canada.
The economy of the Yukon is based heavily on its rich natural resources. Mining is the Yukon’s largest industry with lead, zinc, silver, gold, and copper being the principal minerals. Business and administrative occupations make up the community’s second-largest employment field after natural resources.
Besides, the government is a major source of economic activity in the capital city of Whitehorse, accounting for a significant portion of total employment. The economy of the Yukon has been gradually diversifying, and tourism now provides a sizable portion of Yukon jobs and services. Unemployment in Whitehorse currently sits at roughly 7% but varies seasonally.
Yukon Community Pilot Program
The Canadian government has launched yet another exciting community initiative to help people immigrate to Canada! The New Yukon Community Pilot is a new Canadian immigration pathway, launched in January 2020 under the Yukon Nominee Program that allows foreign workers to live and work in Canada without a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This means faster processing and a chance to work in Canada for up to 2 years.
This new pilot will run for 3 years and is designed to help boost the local economy of seven participating Yukon communities:
- Whitehorse
- Watson
- Dawson City
- Haines Junction
- Carmacks
- Carcross
Immigrants who select the Yukon as their destination can expect to enjoy an active, but also peaceful lifestyle with many cultural events all year long. The Yukon has a diverse population with 25 per cent being of First Nations (Indigenous) descent, home to an active Francophone community as well as many ethnic and cultural groups. The Yukon is well known for being a warm, inclusive community, with a host of volunteers who are eager to assist newcomers.
What are the sectors and professions that immigrants can explore in Yukon?
According to the Yukon Bureau of Statistics, the top three industries in the Yukon in 2011 were public administration, retail, trade, and construction. Industries with high percentages of wage earners included public administration, utilities, wholesale trade, educational services, and transportation and warehousing.
The Multicultural Centre of the Yukon is one of the main agencies that welcomes immigrants to the region. There are services to assist in the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees into the social, economic, cultural, and political life of their community. They offer assistance and programs in the areas of settlement services, language instruction, employment services, and community networking.
How to Apply?
Apply for Job Offers
You will need at least two to three eligible jobs offered in Yukon Canada, in one of the participating communities, before you can apply to immigrate to Yukon Canada through the Yukon Community Pilot.
Apply for a Nomination
You will need to apply to immigrate to Canada through the Yukon Provincial Nomination Program and receive a nomination letter from the Government of Yukon. You can either apply through the Skilled Worker Program (highly skilled workers) or the Critical Impact Worker Program (mid to low or unskilled workers) depending on your skill level.
You will also require a signed letter of support from the Government of Yukon containing details about your job offer (i.e. location, number of hours, occupation, employers name etc.) to live and work in Yukon Canada as well as confirming that your employer needs you to work in the community.
Apply for a Work Permit
Once you have your job offer and letters from the Yukon Government you can apply for the open work permit. Remember, your work permit will allow you to work for any employer but will be location-restricted, which means that you will only be able to live and work in Yukon, Canada. The best part is that you will not need an LMIA, which should speed up the application process considerably.
