A winning solution for refugees and Canadian employers takes roots in Pictou County

💡 How do we tackle labour shortages and create labour mobility opportunities for qualified refugees?

Through an innovative pilot created by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada called Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (#EMPP) — we’re assisting skilled refugees to immigrate to Canada through existing economic programs to support Canadian labour market needs.

Through the efforts of RefugePoint and the Pictou County Regional Enterprise Network (PCREN), refugees like Bahati, Micheline and Agnes have received job offers to work as continuing care assistants at Glen Haven Manor, a long-term care facility in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

Glen Haven Manor CEO Lisa Smith explains, “Glen Haven is proud to be part of this extraordinary global collaboration that has the capacity to positively change the lives of refugees and their families by offering a pathway to permanent residence in Canada.”

That’s what we call a win-win!
