Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)
NTNP is an initiative developed by the Government of the Northwest Territories in Canada in collaboration with the Federal Government of Canada. The main objective of this program is to attract and retain skilled foreign workers and entrepreneurs who can support the economic development of the territory.
NTNP includes a variety of streams:
Skilled Workers: This category is for individuals who are already working in the Northwest Territories or have an offer of employment from an employer in the Territory. They must meet certain professional requirements.
Business Immigration Program: This category is for individuals who want to start or buy a business in the Northwest Territories. Applicants must demonstrate their business plan, business experience and financial solvency.
Training Category: This is for recent tertiary graduates in the Northwest Territories who have received a job offer in their field of study.
Basic Requirements:
-The applicant must have the legal right to work and reside in Canada.
-They must meet the criteria of the separate category for which they are applying.
-There must be proof of stable income and financial independence.
-Applicants must pass a medical examination and provide a certificate of no criminal record.
The Northwest Territories have huge potential in the natural resources sector, such as gold, diamonds, and oil. However, due to the remoteness and harsh climate, it is difficult to attract and retain workers. NTNP is trying to address this problem by ensuring the sustainable development of the Territory’s economy.
