The Yukon Community Pilot (YCP) was a special immigration scheme that was exclusive to the Canadian territory of Yukon as of my most recent information update in September 2021. By drawing and keeping immigrants in these communities, the YCP was created to meet the unique labor market and demographic requirements of rural towns in Yukon.

The following are some of the Yukon Community Pilot program's salient features:

Community-Driven Immigration: The YCP prioritized community-driven immigration, allowing remote Yukon communities to propose immigrants who possess the necessary training and work experience to foster the social and economic advancement of their communities.
Endorsement by Participating Communities: Under this scheme, Yukon's participating communities were permitted to recommend and approve possible candidates for nomination under the Yukon Nominee scheme (YNP) to the Yukon government.

Simplified Nomination: The Yukon Nominee Program expedited the nomination process for candidates nominated by a Yukon community through the YCP, making it simpler for them to be granted permanent residence in Canada.

Criteria for Eligibility: Generally, applicants had to meet the minimum language criteria, obtain a job offer from a participating Yukon community, and possess the required training and experience for the role in order to be eligible for the Yukon Community Program. Participating municipalities may have different special requirements.

Candidate commitment to the endorsing community was a prerequisite for YCP nominations. They had to pledge to reside and work there. Helping these rural communities with their workforce shortages while fostering community development was the aim.

Community Participation: To be eligible for the YCP, a community had to show that it was willing and able to assist newcomers. In order to assist immigrants in adjusting to life in their town, this included offering settlement and integration services.
