Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)
Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) provides several pathways for foreign nationals to immigrate permanently to Northwest Territories. The NTNP targets skilled, semi-skilled and low-skilled workers as well as entrepreneurs.
How Does Northwest Territories Nominee Program Work?
The Northwest Territories Nominee Program is a Provincial Nominee Program even though it is a program administered by a Canadian territory.
Candidates interested in obtaining permanent residence through the Northwest Territories Nominee Program must first qualify under one of its immigration streams. Qualified candidates may proceed and submit their provincial nominee application.
Applications are accepted on first come, first served basis. Upon approval, successful candidates will receive a Provincial Nomination Certificate.
With the certificate, candidates must proceed to submission of the Permanent Residence application to the federal government, specifically to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
