Exploring economic immigration pathways to reunite with family members in displacement
Canada has many economic immigration pathways, but navigating them is not straightforward.
Join TalentLift for a free webinar introducing the TalentLift Pathways Portal, a new public resource designed to help people better understand, compare, and navigate Canada’s economic immigration pathways.
The portal is designed through a displacement lens that recognizes the additional barriers many applicants from refugee and displaced backgrounds face, even when they may otherwise qualify for economic immigration programs. It was developed to support newcomers in Ontario from refugee backgrounds who are seeking options to reunite with loved ones still living in displacement, and to expand awareness of economic immigration as a possible family reunification pathway.
What to expect
During this webinar, we will:
Provide an overview of Canada’s economic immigration system, including federal, provincial, and temporary pathways
Discuss how economic immigration works in practice for people living in refugee or displacement circumstances, including considerations around job offers, language requirements, passports and travel documents, and gathering required documentation
Introduce the TalentLift Pathways Portal and explain why it was created
Demonstrate how to use the portal to compare pathways and explore immigration options for French-speakers, including pathways that prioritize Francophone immigration
Answer questions during a live Q&A discussion
This webinar is designed for people currently living in Ontario who are exploring options for French-speaking family members or loved ones abroad in refugee or displacement circumstances. It is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or an assessment of eligibility for any immigration program.
This webinar will be presented in English with live French interpretation.
