Yukon Community Pilot Stream

The Yukon Community Pilot Stream (YCP) is a newly launched stream under the Yukon Nominee Program (YNP). It is a pilot program which will run for 3 years. 

The program aims to:

• Add flexibility for skilled workers working in specific Yukon communities.

To qualify the applicants must have a nomination for permanent residence in Yukon. If they meet this term, then they will get a location-restricted work permit for 2 years.
