Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot
The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) helps skilled refugees and displaced individuals immigrate to Canada through existing economic immigration programs. This initiative provides an opportunity for those with in-demand skills to apply for Canadian permanent residence while addressing Canada’s labour market needs.
At Zohil-Morton Law, we provide legal guidance to corporations, skilled refugees, and displaced individuals looking to participate in the EMPP, ensuring compliance with all program requirements and a smooth immigration process.
