From refugees to healthcare heroes: how Canada's EMPP is transforming lives

Canada has a long tradition of offering hope and opportunity to people from all walks of life, including those who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) is an immigration program that helps Canadian employers fill critical labour gaps and allows refugees to put their skills and experience to work with meaningful jobs in Canada. With the help of partners like TalentLift who support employers to source talent, skilled refugees like Tekle, have found a new beginning in Canada’s healthcare sector. ---- UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution. Since 1950, we have helped tens of millions of people find safety and rebuild their lives. With your support, we can restore hope for many more. Read more at www.unhcr.ca.
