The territory's candidate program is to be opened for the second time next month, since the Minister for Education, Cultural and Employment Minister of the Territory still asks the Federal Government to restore it in its previous capacities.
The recording time is open from 9:00 a.m. on July 9 to 17 on July 9th. Appropriate persons can apply online via the program of the program.
The first recording ran from February 27th to March 6th. After this period, 21 nomination rooms of the 150 available NWT remain available in 2025, according to the GNWT.
The second recording accepts 10 applications within the framework of the entry/semi-qualified professional current, 10 as part of the specialist/express input current and one under the Francophonic current to fill the remaining rooms, the GNWT stated.
If more applications are received than the number assigned in a stream, they are chosen randomly within this stream. If one of the three categories is not full, it is filled by the other categories, added the Gnwt.
According to the current admission criteria, the program is reopened with a change: The authorization to the work permit was extended to March 31, 2026. Further updates of the guidelines include the explanations for existing criteria, such as: B. provisions for an extended vacation, like the Gnwt.
For this year the number of applications that employers can submit is based on the size of their business with the following limits:
- Employer with 1 – 10 total NWT workers: 1 application;
- Employer with 11 – 49 NWT workers: 2 applications; And
- Employer with 50 or more NWT workers: 4 applications.
The territorial government stated that the work permit is assessed on the basis of the order of the expiry date and ensure that all submitted documents meet the admission criteria, and successful applicants will be notified by e -mail if your application is selected.
Minister still asks with Ottawa
As part of the previous government of Justin Trudeau, the candidate program was set to 150 in half.
Caitlin Cleveland said that the NWT had meant since then that qualified workers and families had had to reject.
“Employers have difficulty filling important jobs,” she said in a release on Thursday. “And newcomers who have come here with hope is said that there is no way forward – not because they have done something wrong, but because the system no longer makes any space for them.”
Cleveland, who was in Ottawa at the beginning of this month, said she spoke to Lena Metlege Diab, the Federal Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC). She said she said Diab that the NWT needed its full allocation of 300 restored.
“The nominated program is one of the few tools that we have to attract and maintain in the middle of a national lack of work,” said Cleveland and found that it promotes the private sector of the territory and promotes diversity. “Without them, we lose people we need.”
Cleveland also made the perspective of Prime Minister Mark Carney to make the development of nation a top priority for Canada.
“Projects on building nation require workers. Sovereignty requires presence. Growth require people,” she said.
Cleveland is not only in their calls to restore the program. At the beginning of this year, the Yellowknife Chamber of House also sent a similar message to Ottawa to deal with what it describes as a staff crisis in the entire territory.
At the beginning of this year, the GNWT announced that the candidate program would be reopened on January 30th to return the course less than 12 hours before the start.
Although the current upper limit is technically 150, the President of the Chamber, Matt Halliday, previously said that hundreds of applications were submitted when only 90 places were made available.
This is because the GWNT received more applications in 2024 60 than the border that were processed and, according to GNWT, got out of this year's allocation.
