Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)

Pristine forests and natural beauty define the Northwest Territories. With acres of wilderness and a population as less as 40000, the province has a economy based on its rich natural resources gold, diamonds, natural gas, and petroleum.The capital city, Yellowknife, located on the shores of Great Slave Lake, is both a major industrial hub for workers in the region and a scenic town with abundant recreational opportunities.
