The final Expression of Interest draw for the Northwest Territories Nominee Program’s Employer Driven Stream is taking place this Friday.
This is the fourth and final Expression of Interest draw of 2026, with the prior ones being held in March, June, and August. Over 200 workers were selected in these draws from the NWT express entry, skilled workers, and entry-level categories.
The Nominee Program and the Expression of Interest system allows the GNWT to manage the number of candidates and match works who are likely to stay in NWT communities with local job needs while maintaining and strengthening the transparency and fairness of the program.
Candidate profiles are scored based on skills and experience, connection to the NWT, and how likely a candidate is to settle in the NWT. The prospective employers of the highest scoring candidates will be selected through the draw to submit their applications.
Profiles which are not selected in this draw will remain in consideration for up to 12 months after initially being submitted and will be considered as part of any future selection draws.
To be considered for this draw, profiles need to be submitted to the Northwest Territories Nominee Program by September 22.
Approximately 100 candidates will be selected in this draw.
