Canada is opening doors to skilled refugees and displaced individuals through the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot

Canada is opening doors to skilled refugees and displaced individuals through the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP).

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the launch of two new EMPP streams, providing more opportunities for talented individuals to continue their careers in Canada.

These streams allow Canadian employers to tap into a global talent pool of skilled refugees, benefiting both the economy and humanitarian commitments.

The new streams offer two options: one for candidates with a Canadian job offer and another for highly-skilled refugees without job offers.

Industries like healthcare, tourism, technology, and more can benefit from the talent pool, with occupations ranging from nurse aides to software engineers.

The EMPP Federal Skills Without a Job Offer Stream recognizes candidates with high-demand skills, ensuring they find employment upon arrival in Canada.

EMPP facilitation measures include fee waivers, simplified work experience validation, and loan options for travel and settlement needs.
