Table of Contents
What is the NWT Skilled Worker category?
The NWT Skilled Worker category is part of the Employer-Driven Stream and is for occupations in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3. The foreign national must be able to show the training, experience and education needed for the job, have at least one year of full-time experience within the last 10 years in the same or a similar occupation, and hold a valid work permit. NWT Express Entry is a separate category for Skilled Worker candidates who are already in the federal Express Entry system.
