What is it?

The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) "No Job Offer Stream" (NJOS) is an opportunity for highly skilled refugees and displaced individuals to obtain permanent residence in Canada. It is based on the same principles as Canada’s flagship immigration program, the Federal Skilled Worker program. As such, it does not require applicants to have a job offer from a Canadian employer. Instead, here are the eligibility requirements for the NJOS.

Disclaimers:

Please note that we will only reach out to candidates who appear eligible based on the requirements of the EMPP NJOS. Even if you are ineligible for this specific immigration pathway, please be aware that you may still be eligible for other pathways to Canada.

It is important to understand that submitting an EMPP application does not guarantee being approved for permanent residence in Canada. Also, the NJOS does not include a job offer component—successful applicants will be responsible for securing job opportunities for themselves.

Please ensure you have or will soon have the sufficient amount to meet the minimum settlement funds for your family. The minimum amount you need to immigrate to Canada as of January 17, 2025, can be found here.

To apply for the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) with Fragomen, you must first register with Talent Beyond Boundaries' Talent Catalog. 

After registering, you will receive a unique Talent Catalog profile number. Note: We cannot process your application without a valid profile number.
