Of the eleven provinces and territories who participate in Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs, the Yukon is the only territory to do so. Provincial Nominee Programs are great because you can live and work in the province or territory you have chosen and you can apply directly, so the process is much faster.
2 Categories for the Yukon Provincial Nominee Program
