Eligibility for processing

As outlined in the Public Policy to support the Federal Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (Federal EMPP), the Federal EMPP is to operate for 2 years and it has two streams: A and B.

Application intake under Stream A (the “Job Offer stream”) has no cap and applicants must have a job offer. Application intake under Stream B (the “No Job Offer stream”) will end when a cap of 150 completed applications from principal applicants have been received. Applicants under this stream do not require a job offer. The number of applications received will be monitored through monthly OPPB reports. The public policy may be revoked at any time.

Applications must be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications received after the cap is reached for Stream B will be rejected.

Applications must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in section 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) and in the application kit in order to be considered complete and eligible for processing. Applications must also meet the eligibility for Federal EMPP under the public policy.
