YUKON COMMUNITY PILOT [YCP]

 

The Yukon Community Pilot (YCP) is a federal–territorial permanent resident stream with a work permit component. 

 

The Pilot was opened by the Government of Yukon, in January 2020. The goal of this pilot is to attract and retain immigrants in Yukon communities by testing innovative approaches to permanent immigration.

Nomination issued by the Yukon government will be community restrictive instead of employer restrictive. 

Under this initiative, nominees will be issued an open work permit allowing them to work for up to (3) employers within a specific community, rather than (1) specific employer. 

Facilitating entry with the issuance of open work permits encourages settlement and retention of workers in Canadian communities.

A person who has a valid nomination from the Yukon for permanent residence and 2 or 3 job offers from up to 3 employers based in a participating Yukon Territory community may be issued a location-specific open work permit without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

The pilot will run for 3 years, from January 2020 to June 2023.

Eligible work locations

The participating communities are

  • Carcross
  • Carmacks
  • Dawson City
  • Haines Junction
  • Watson Lake
  • Whitehorse

All of the job offers for each foreign national must be located within the same community

Employer eligibility

The Yukon will provide a nomination to a foreign national with 2 to 3 part-time job offers from up to 3 employers ensuring the foreign national will accumulate 1,560 hours in a single year (equivalent to annual full-time work).

If an employer should leave the agreement because they can no longer provide adequate work, the Yukon will help the foreign national to find new employment to maintain full-time, year-round work.

Foreign worker eligibility

To be eligible for the YCP work permit stream, foreign nationals must

  • be destined to a job location in a participating community in the Yukon
  • have 2 to 3 job offers with up to 3 employers that will allow them to accumulate 1,560 hours in a single year (equivalent to annual full-time work), within the same participating Yukon community

Work permit duration

Officers may issue an open work permit with a mandatory condition restricting the location to the participating community that is valid for 2 years from the date of decision or date of entry to Canada or until the expiry of the travel document, whichever comes first.

Work permits for spouses or common-law partners

If the principal applicant is employed in at least one NOC skill type 0 or skill level A or B position, officers may issue a location-specific open work permit to their spouse or common-law partner
