Are There Pathways For Refugees In British Columbia?
Yes, there is a pathway for refugees to enter British Columbia. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) established the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) in 2018 in a bid to grant complementary pathways to permanent residency for skilled workers who happen to be refugees. The EMPP assists employers in finding skilled refugees for vacancies that cannot be filled due to British Columbia’s labour shortages.
