NORTHWEST TERRITORIES PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM
Northwest Territories is a region in northern and northwest Canada. For a greater part of the 20th century, Northwest Territories made up more than one-third of the total area referred to as Canada.
With the creation of Nunavut in 1999 – out of the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories – the area that came to be known as Northwest Territories from that time onwards was reduced by more than half.
The Northwest Territories, or the NWT as the territory is commonly known as, is bordered by the territories of Yukon to the west and Nunavut to the east. The southern border of the territory is shared by the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Towards the northern side, the NWT extends far above the Arctic Circle, encompassing various islands.
Yellowknife is the territorial capital.
Other prominent cities in the Canadian territory of NWT include – Fort Providence, Hay River, Fort McPherson, Inuvik, Norman Wells, Fort Smith, Behchoko, Fort Simpson, and Tuktoyaktuk.
Of the 3 territories that make up Canada along with the 10 provinces, the Northwest Territories and Yukon are a part of the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP]. Nunavut, on the other hand, does not have any immigration program for the induction of newcomers into the territory.
It is through the Northwest Territories Nominee Program that NWT nominates individuals for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
In order to immigrate to Northwest Territories, an individual must either – [1] have a valid job offer from an employer in the NWT, or [2] be ready to open, purchase or invest in a business in the NWT.
