Know How to Immigrate to Yukon Through New Community Pilot!
The Canadian government has recently introduced a new community-based program, the new Yukon community pilot program, to help people migrate to Canada. This program was newly announced in January 2020 under the Yukon Nominee program. It allows the workers from foreign to live and work in Canada without labour market impact assessment (LMIA). This shows an employer needs a temporary worker from foreign because the employer cannot fill the job offer locally. Plus, it offers a work permit for up to 2 years in Canada.
This new pilot program will run for three years, and it is made in such a way that it will help boost up the local economy of Yukon’s six communities.
