The Government of the Northwest Territories has confirmed the full restoration of its 2025 nominee allocation to 300 nominations, reversing previous federal reductions. Minister of Education, Culture and Employment Caitlin Cleveland announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) approved the increase following sustained advocacy efforts. The restoration enables employers to access skilled workers, provides clearer immigration pathways for newcomers, and supports sustainable community growth across the territory. The decision reflects collaborative engagement between federal and territorial governments, alongside input from Indigenous governments, chambers of commerce, and community stakeholders who emphasized immigration’s critical role in Northern economic development and sovereignty.
