NTNP Guidelines for Skilled Worker Category

Here's the Northwest Territories Nominee Program guidelines for Skilled Worker.

The NTNP Skilled Worker Category is an employer driven process that is intended for skilled occupations for which formal education and/or specialized training is required (NOC Skills Level O, A and B). It is designed to attract qualified individuals that will assist with shortages of skilled workers in the Northwest Territories (NWT).

Employer Eligibility:

Have a job vacancy;

Identify a potential nominee;

Be a registered business, industry association or a local, municipal, First
Nation or Territorial government in the NWT that has been registered and
operational for a minimum of one year;

Provide proof that they have tried to recruit locally and nationally to fill the
position using national advertising requirements; and,

Obtain a Labour Market Opinion (LMO)

A Human Resources Plan that verifies the need to fill the position with a nominee will be evaluated as an asset to the application. The employer is responsible for completion of the application form and for submission of all required documentation to ECE.

The Offer of Employment must:

Be for a permanent full-time position;

Be in an occupation that falls into NOC Matrix Skill Levels O, A or B

Not conflict with existing collective bargaining agreements;

Comply with the NWT Employment Standards Act; and,

Provide a comparable industry rate of pay.

Nominee Eligibility:

Have the required certification or accreditation for the specific trade or
occupation;

Be licensed or accepted by the Territorial body governing the occupation or trade, if applicable;

Be able to conduct basic communications in either English or French,
depending on the official language of the work place; and,

Not be a refugee claimant.

When submitting an application form, employers should be sure to include the
following documents:

Letter of offer of employment

Proof of attempted local and national recruitment for the position

Labour Market Opinion (LMO)

Original or certified true copy of nominee’s accreditation translated into
English or French

Original or certified true copy confirming nominee’s previous work experience, translated into English or French
