⭐ Thank you for sharing your experience, Asadullah! Asadullah is a talented Fibre Optics Technician who was living in a refugee situation in Pakistan with his family before relocating to Canada for work. After receiving a job offer from a Canadian telecommunications firm, he pursued a skilled visa with the support of TalentLift, and relocated to London, Ontario alongside his family. He shared, "I'm working hard to build a better life for my children, my wife, and myself." Hiring teams across Canada make these journeys possible, and Canada's Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) is the simple visa underlying this impactful recruitment initiative. The EMPP is designed for employers and the candidates they hire who are living in refugee situations globally. ⭐ Watch Asadullah share his personal experience pursuing a job and skilled visa to Canada: https://lnkd.in/eemuxj_3 🌍 Did you know that more than 25,000 talented job seekers living in refugee situations globally have registered their skills with TalentLift, and are ready to relocate?

TalentLift Canada
Staffing and Recruiting
Supporting Canadian employers to source international talent from within refugee and displaced populations.
About us
There are more than 35 million people living as refugees around the world who have fled conflict or persecution. Many of them have skills needed by companies and communities across Canada. Employers can now access this talent pool. TalentLift supports employers to source talent from within refugee and displaced populations to fill skills shortages, enabling refugees along with their families to lift to their potential, secure their futures, and leave displacement behind. We envision a world where talented people living as refugees can compete for global jobs and skilled visas, and where access depends on potential and not the privilege of living without fear.

“We lost all of our life there,” said Asadullah, reflecting on the day the Taliban took power in Afghanistan three years ago, in August 2021. More than 6.4 million people have left the country to find a safer place for themselves and their families. Three years later, the displaced population from Afghanistan is one of the largest globally. Many remain in Pakistan, Iran, Türkiye, and India, where they live with unbelievable insecurity each day. An important solution that is opening up to Canada and a handful of other countries is the use of skilled visas, for those in displacement who want to rebuild their careers in a secure new home. TalentLift received critical funding to advance this solution from Scotiabank through ScotiaRISE, the Bank’s $500 million commitment and social impact strategy to remove barriers to career advancement and employment. We and our partners alongside impact-driven employers have now supported 176 talented candidates from Afghanistan, including 116 men and 60 women, to obtain job and skilled visa opportunities to Canada. This means 407 people when accounting for family have relocated or are in a visa process, to teams and communities where they can put down roots and contribute. Learn more about some of these remarkable individuals: https://lnkd.in/e9-ABVCQ 🌟 We invite anyone with an open role to get in touch with our team: https://lnkd.in/epR8T48b You can get started meeting talented people from Afghanistan and beyond with the skills you need, and open a life-changing relocation opportunity. #TalentLift #careers #Scotiabank #ScotiaRise #EMPP
