Canada's Northwest Territories gets 50 more PR nominations: EOI deadline 17 November
Ottawa approved 50 extra nominations for 2026, taking the territory's allocation to a record 350, with a new employer-driven draw on 18 November.
Canada's federal government has approved 50 additional nominations for the Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) in 2026, raising its annual allocation to a record 350 spaces.
The territory announced the increase on 10 November on the programme's official website. It is the second expansion this year: the NTNP began with 197 spaces and gained 103 in August.
An extra Expression of Interest draw under the Employer-Driven Stream will be held on 18 November 2026. Candidates must submit their EOI profiles by 11.59pm Northwest Territories time on 17 November, and those invited are advised to be ready to send a complete application within one week.
To enter the Employer-Driven Stream pool, a candidate first needs a qualifying job offer from an employer in the territory. The Francophone and Business streams keep their first-come, first-served intake. Applications go only through the programme's official channel, with no agents or middlemen needed.
