Northwest Territories — Express Entry Stream

Express Entry System: The Express Entry system is a federal immigration program that manages applications for permanent residence under three economic immigration streams: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Candidates with a profile in the Express Entry pool can indicate their interest in settling in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut. If selected by these territories, they can receive a provincial nomination, which will provide additional points and increase their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

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.


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 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.
