Territorial Immigration Nomination Program (TINP): Gateway to Northern Canadian Territories

Territorial Immigration Nomination Program (TINP)

The Territorial Immigration Nomination Program (TINP) is a Canadian immigration program that allows the three Canadian territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) to nominate individuals for permanent residency in Canada.

Each territory has its own immigration program and criteria for nominating individuals for permanent residency, and the program is designed to meet the unique needs and priorities of the territories. The TINP is part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residency based on their skills, education, work experience, and other factors.

To be eligible for the TINP, an individual must first be nominated by a territory and meet the federal eligibility requirements for permanent residency in Canada, such as passing medical and security checks.

The TINP is a popular immigration program for individuals who want to live and work in one of the Canadian territories. It offers a pathway to permanent residency in Canada for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria.

Determine eligibility

Review the eligibility requirements for the TINP program and make sure you meet the criteria for the territory you want to apply to.

Submit application

Create an online profile on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website and indicate your interest in the TINP program. Contact the territory’s immigration office and apply to the TINP program. The application package will typically include forms to be completed, supporting documentation to be provided, and fees to be paid.

Wait for nomination

If your application is successful, you will receive a nomination from the territory, which means you have been selected to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
