About the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot

The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) is Canada’s complementary pathways model for refugee labour mobility. It started as a small research project in 2018 to see whether there were refugees with the skills and qualifications to access existing economic immigration pathways, with some administrative facilitation measures to offset the circumstances of their displacement.

The goal of the EMPP is to provide durable solutions for refugees with the skills and qualifications that Canadian employers need. The EMPP is focused on pathways via regional economic immigration programs – such as the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) and, more recently, the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) – where a local delivery partner (i.e. a province, territory, community-based economic development organization, or employer), together with settlement service provider organizations, helps ensure the successful settlement and integration of the newcomers and their families.
