Formerly known as the Yukon Territory, Yukon is found on the north-western side of Canada and is an area of high plateaus and mountains. It shares boundaries to the east with the Northwest Territories, to the south with British Columbia, and the United States state of Alaska to the west. Immigrants who want to make the move to Yukon can do so with the Yukon Provincial Nominee Program (Yukon PNP).
Yukon is especially known for its abundance of mineral wealth, sparse population, and large areas of unspoiled wilderness. Over two-thirds of the total population in Yukon live in Whitehorse, the capital city. Nearly one-third of the population is of aboriginal origin. The rest of the population is made up of European descendants or of mixed aboriginal and immigrant descent. 310 immigrant families made Yukon their new home in 2019 by securing permanent residency through the Yukon PNP.
