To immigrate here through the Northwest Territories Nominee Program, you need to either:
- be ready to open, purchase or invest in a business in the NWT; or
- have a job offer from an employer in the NWT.
If you’re coming here to open, purchase or invest in a business in the NWT, you can apply for the Business Stream. If you have a job offer from an NWT employer, we call that the Employer-Driven Stream.
