The Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). It is a collection of immigration pathways that offer an opportunity for foreign nationals to become Canadian permanent residents.
The Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) provides eligible Foreign Nationals a pathway to becoming permanent residents of Canada.
The purpose of the NTNP is to fill identified labour shortages and business investment needs in the Northwest Territories through employment and immigration of Foreign Nationals to Canada. There are two streams within the NTNP; the Business Stream and the Employer Driven Stream.
The Business Stream is for people who want to start a business in the NWT, purchase an existing business based there, or invest in and operate an existing business based there.
In the NWT you can expect no wait-list for your application, and faster processing times
The Employer-Driven Stream is for employers who want to hire and nominate foreign nationals when there are no Canadians or Canadian Permanent Residents available. This stream helps employers hire critically needed and skilled workers, and helps workers achieve Canadian Permanent Residency through three program categories.
For this stream to work, you first need a job offer from an NWT employer. No expressions of interest are accepted from people without a job offer, and NTNP doesn’t issue invitations to apply.
The NTNP application process usually takes 10 to 12 weeks upon receipt of all required information and documentation.
You can apply in two ways, either:
Contact the province to request a nomination under a fast-track entry flow. When nominated by the province, create your Quick Entry Profile to display your nomination. OR
First create your quick entry profile to display any particular province that interests you.
When the province sends you a “Notice of Interest,” contact them directly.
No matter how you apply, you must be eligible for that province. Also, submit your express entry profile with minimal criteria. Once you are invited to apply, submit your electronic application to IRCC.
