On June 3, 2022, the Government of Canada published a new update, clarifying instructions regarding the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP). In December 2021, the intake for phase 2 of the EMPP began. Over the next two years, the Government will accept up to 500 skilled refugees and their family members who are eligible to apply for assistance under this program. The EMPP is Canada’s model for refugee labour mobility, and it strives to meet Canadian labour shortages while also offering long-term answers for refugees with the abilities and qualifications that employers demand.
