Yukon Provincial Nominee Program
Located in the far northwest of Canada, Yukon has a fabled place in the country’s history.
Yukon province is the smallest and west most of Canada’s three federal territories. It has the smallest population in Canada. It is wild and mountainous. In the south are numerous glacier-fed alpine lakes including boldly coloured Emerald Lake.
Yukon Nominee Program or YNP is the name given to the Yukon Provincial Nominee Program. It allows applicants to get nominated to further apply for their PR with the Canadian Federal Government.
