Provincial Nomination - Yukon

Keen to differentiate itself from the so called ‘business investment schemes’, the province of Yukon nevertheless has a programme for nomination under which applicants can apply via way of business proposals. It is hard to quantify exactly what the provincial nomination programme expects by desiring applicants who can provide a ‘significant economic contribution’ to the community. It is clear that some level of investment would be required from any applicant wishing to apply via way of setting up a business plan or entering into a business partnership with a company already inside the Yukon province.

Accordingly, entrepreneurs are particularly welcome to apply. Yukon’s rapidly expanding business community is a hot spot of invention and commentators expect there to be many business opportunities still available. With greater than 80% of the province being dominated by wilderness, there is an abundance of natural resources in the area. The nomination board seeks individuals with a vision for the future of Yukon and welcomes ideas that further the goal of economic development in any form. It is perhaps no understatement to say that Yukon is unfairly unheard of and often unrepresented. There is certainly large potential in the area for the future.
