Yukon Business Nominee
The Yukon Business Nominee Program (YBNP) specifically targets individuals with established business
skills who are interested in owning and operating a business in Yukon and making a significant
contribution to the local community. Yukon is actively seeking individuals with entrepreneurial expertise
who can actively participate in the business community, fostering economic expansion and
diversification. Applicants must be willing to assume an active managerial role within the Yukon
business.
If an applicant is approved by the YBNP, they will become a nominee and receive assistance in obtaining
a Two-Year Work Permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This work
permit allows the nominee, along with their family, to establish themselves and their business in Yukon.
After the two-year period, those who meet all the eligibility requirements will receive support from the
territory in their application to IRCC for Permanent Residence.
To be eligible for the YBNP, you must:
1. Attain a minimum score of 65 points on the assessment grid.
2. Hold a high school diploma or equivalent. If your business necessitates higher education, you
must provide valid credentials as proof.
3. Possess a minimum of 3 years of experience in entrepreneurship or business management.
4. Have at least 5 years of relevant work experience related to your business.
5. Not be a refugee or have an active application for refugee status with the Government of
Canada.
