IRCC extends Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot to December 2025, introducing application cap

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced an extension of the Federal Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) program through December 31, 2025, extending the initiative beyond its previous June deadline.

The department has simultaneously implemented an intake cap of 950 complete applications for the EMPP Job Offer Stream.

This strategic adjustment aims to manage application volumes while continuing to provide economic opportunities for skilled refugees and displaced individuals.

IRCC officials confirmed this update as part of the department's ongoing commitment to responsive immigration pathways.
