The Employer-Driven Stream is for employers who want to hire and nominate foreign nationals when there are no Canadians or Canadian permanent residents available to fill the job. This stream helps employers hire critically needed skilled workers and helps workers achieve Canadian permanent residency through three program categories, with the Employer-Driven Stream being one of them

To participate in this stream, you first need a job offer from an NWT employer and this NWT Employer needs to apply on your behalf. 

To find a potential NWT employer, try these job websites:

• Edge North Job Board 
• Canada Job Bank (search Northwest Territories)
• GNWT Careers 
• Northern News Services Job Listings
• Indeed Jobs - Northwest Territories 

How does the Employer-Driven Stream work?

Once you have a job offer from an NWT employer, and your employer agrees to submit an application to the NWT Nominee Program on your behalf, your employer can register in the Nominee Program online application portal, and you can then submit an Expression of Interest to indicate your interest in applying to one of three program categories:

• ENTRY LEVEL/SEMI-SKILLED OCCUPATIONS
• SKILLED WORKER
• NWT EXPRESS ENTRY 
• HOW TO SUBMIT AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST?
