Enrolment

Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) is responsible for enrolling individuals in the Nunavut Agreement. The process is administered by NTI through the Enrolment Division of the Department of Human Resources, and the Community Enrolment Committees.

Article 35 of the Nunavut Agreement requires a Designated Inuit Organization to ensure that all eligible Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area have the opportunity to be enrolled. A person who is on the Inuit Enrolment List is entitled to benefit from the Nunavut Agreement so long as he or she is alive. Inuit agreed to make NTI the Designated Inuit Organization. Enrolment is guided by the principle that Inuit are best able to define who is an Inuk for the purpose of benefiting from the Nunavut Agreement.

Eligibility

You qualify to enrol in the Nunavut Agreement if:

1. You are a Canadian citizen
2. You are an Inuk according to Inuit customs and usages
3. You identify as an Inuk

You do not have to live in Nunavut to enrol — as long as you meet the requirements for enrolment, where you live is not a concern.
