About Nunavut Immigration
Yes, it is correct that Nunavut does not have a province-specific (territorial) Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for immigration. Unlike most other Canadian provinces and territories, Nunavut does not operate its own PNP or any exclusive immigration stream for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, or other categories.
Instead, individuals interested in immigrating to Nunavut must apply through federal immigration programs, such as: The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) via Express Entry.
These federal programs allow applicants to choose Nunavut as their intended place of residence after obtaining permanent residency; however, there is no separate nomination process or stream managed by the territorial government of Nunavut.
