2026 Intakes

Employer EOI intakes ran 19 to 30 January and 6 to 17 July 2026, and both have closed. Next dates were not announced on the pages checked on 6 November 2026. Holders of a 2024 or 2025 Temporary Measure Letter of Support do not submit an EOI; Yukon contacts them separately.

Employer Applies

Foreign nationals cannot apply, even with employer consent. The employer must have operated in Yukon for at least one year, hold valid licences, pay the median wage and show it could not hire a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Priority Points

2026 points: regulated health care profession 8, French speaker 5 (CLB/NCLC 5 in French), Yukon University graduate 1, one to four points for one to four years living and working in Yukon, and 2 points for employers whose January EOI was not invited.

2026 Allocation

282 nominations, to be used by 31 December 2026 with no carry-over. After Temporary Measure Letter recipients, 85 per cent go to Whitehorse-based employers and 15 per cent to rural employers. The January intake used 75 per cent of the allocation and July 25 per cent.
