Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)
Through the Northwest Territories’ Provincial Nominee Program (NTNP), prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the Northwest Territories may receive a Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will allow them to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence.
The NTNP accepts applications under two programs, one of which has three distinct streams:
Employer Driven Program
Northwest Territories — Express Entry Stream
The NTNP Express Entry Stream for Skilled Workers is designed to nominate Express Entry candidates who meet the eligibility criteria for the Northwest Territories’ Skilled Worker stream. Foreign nationals who have been accepted into the federal Express Entry pool may be able to apply to this Express Entry Stream for Skilled Workers.
Learn more about the eligibility requirements of the Northwest Territories Express Entry Stream for Skilled Workers.
Skilled Worker Stream
The NTNP Skilled Worker Stream enables the Government of Northwest Territories to nominate individuals who have received an offer of employment in a skilled position from a Northwest Territories employer. Applicants must have already worked in the position in the Northwest Territories for a minimum of six months.
Entry Level/Semi-Skilled Occupations
The NTNP Entry Level/Semi-Skilled Occupations
enables the Government of Northwest Territories to help employers fill shortages for entry-level jobs when they cannot find a Canadian candidate locally or nationally for a position. Applicants must have already worked in the position in the Northwest Territories for a minimum of six months.
Business Immigration Program
Business Stream
The NTNP Business Stream is geared towards foreign nationals who demonstrate the ability to start, acquire, or invest in an existing Northwest Territories business which provides or may provide economic benefit to the Territory and create jobs.
