Express Entry
Yukon's enhanced stream for candidates who qualify for a federal Express Entry program and hold a full-time job offer from a Yukon employer in a TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 occupation. The employer drives the application, and a territorial nomination adds 600 points to the candidate's Express Entry profile.
Invitation only
Yukon selects candidates through scheduled expression of interest intakes; both 2026 intakes (January 19-30 and July 6-17, 2026) were closed when checked.
