Provincial Nominee Program

Northwest Territories Provincial Nominee Program

The Northwest Territories is the only jurisdiction in Canada that publishes the score range of every draw, and those ranges have fallen with each round this year as the allocation grew. Be careful with two of its own pages, which still carry a notice saying the 2025 intake is closed; that text is out of date and contradicted by the territory's own announcements.

The Northwest Territories Nominee Program right now

OpenNorthwest Territories Nominee Program

Open. The employer-driven stream moved to an expression of interest model in March 2026, while the francophone and business streams stay first come, first served. The 2026 allocation was raised from 197 to 300 in August. The last draw currently scheduled is 25 September 2026, with a cut-off of 22 September for entering the pool.

Two official pages, including the one Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada links to, still display a notice saying the 2025 intake closed against a cap of 300. That text is stale and contradicted by the territory's 2026 announcements and its own published draw record.
