Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The programme is employer-driven and vacancy-bound: it exists for employers filling critical vacancies when qualified Canadians or permanent residents cannot be found, the number of foreign workers accepted is tied to the territory's job vacancies, and without work in the Yukon a person cannot take part at all.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

A nominee who is not in Canada applies to the Government of Canada for the necessary visa and work permit; the employer and the nominee sign a Tripartite Agreement with the Government of Yukon, and until the nominee becomes a permanent resident they hold a temporary work permit. The official source does not state whether the nominee may change employer or whether family may accompany.
