Canada introduces new economic immigration pathways for skilled refugees and displaced persons

Canada’s Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) offers skilled refugees and displaced people more opportunities to immigrate to Canada and continue their careers. The EMPP has launched two new streams, allowing Canadian employers to access a talent pool of skilled refugees worldwide. The two new streams are for candidates with a job offer from a Canadian employer and for highly skilled refugees without job offers. Canadian employers can recruit highly skilled refugees for different in-demand jobs through the EMPP. These new streams reduce barriers to access, and newcomers can move to Canada and start working more quickly.
