Northwest Territories Provincial Nominee Program
About Northwest Territories
Northwest Territories is a region in northern and northwest Canada. Northwest Territories made up more than one-third of the total area in Canada. With the creation of Nunavut in 1999, out of the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories, the area that came to be known as Northwest Territories from that time onwards was reduced by more than half. The Northwest Territories (NWT), is bordered by the regions of Yukon to the west and Nunavut to the east.
The provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan share the southern border of the territory. The NWT extends far above the Arctic Circle towards the northern side, encompassing various islands.
"Yellowknife is the territorial capital of NWT."
Other prominent cities in the Canadian territory of NWT include:
- Fort Providence
- Hay River
- Fort McPherson
- Inuvik
- Norman Wells
- Fort Smith
- Behchoko
- Fort Simpson
- Tuktoyaktuk
Northwest Territories PNP streams
The Northwest Territories and Yukon are a part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). On the other hand, Nunavut does not have any immigration program for the induction of newcomers into the territory. Through the Northwest Territories Nominee Program, individuals can apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
| Category | Stream | Description |
| Employer-Driven stream | NWT Express Entry (linked with the federal Express Entry system) | For employers that intend to hire and nominating foreign nationals where there are no Canadian permanent residents or citizens of Canada available. |
| Skilled Worker | A job offer from an employer in the NWT is mandatory in order to be eligible. | |
| Entry-level/Semi-Skilled Occupations | For employers to help fill the shortages for entry-level jobs. | |
| Business Stream | NA | For individuals that intend to start a business, purchase an existing business, or invest in and operate an existing business based in the NWT. |
Eligibility criteria for NWT PNP
To immigrate to Northwest Territories, an individual should either:
- Have a valid job offer from an employer in the NWT.
- Be ready to open, purchase, or invest in a business in the NWT.
The NWT Express Entry offers expedited application processing times for skilled workers that intend to live and work in the NWT. By fetching a nominee 600 points in the federal Express Entry pool, a nomination – through any of the Express Entry-linked PNP streams – is a way of fast-tracking applications for Canadian permanent residency. The intake for new applications for the Northwest Territories PNP Business Stream is on hold until further notice.
