I submitted my application for the Federal Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) through the online portal and received my application number. Later, I received an email requesting me to provide my biometric information. I completed my biometric submission at the application center three weeks ago, but I have not received any updates since then.


Currently, my application status is still marked as "Submitted," and I would like to understand why there has been no update. Could you kindly provide me with any information regarding the status of my application and whether my biometrics have been successfully linked to my file?


I would appreciate any guidance or clarification on this matter.

Hello, thanks for replying, no job offer , because I already have my own job online so I can work from any country
That actually may be a negative. The purpose of EMPP is to address labour needs of Canadian businesses while the refugee benefits by getting a safe permanent home. If you plan to keep working for your current employer after relocating to Canada you should really be applying under a more general refugee program or other economic PR programs open to anyone.

Ok, so I can apply for more than 1 program at the same time?
You can apply for more than one but once you get processing under 1 program you are asked withdraw the other application.

Did you not read the description of the EMPP program:
Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot
The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) is a program for skilled refugees and displaced people looking to work permanently in Canada. The EMPP:
  • helps skilled refugees and other displaced people immigrate to Canada through economic programs
  • gives employers access to a new pool of qualified candidates to fill job openings
