The program now includes a federal section, but results statistics are still pending, so the promise has been partially fulfilled.
“There are now 2 ways you can apply for the EMPP: // through one of 3 selected economic programs // Atlantic Immigration Program // Provincial Nominee Program // Rural and Northern Immigration Program (RNIP) // This is referred to as the regional EMPP. You need to be eligible for one of the above programs and apply first to a province, territory or RNIP community (depending on which program you choose.) // directly to us for just the EMPP // This is referred to as the federal EMPP. It includes a Job Offer and No Job Offer stream. You need to meet the work experience, education and language requirements”

“The Government of Canada is expanding the EMPP by creating a new federal pathway. The new pathway, which will complement existing EMPP pathways, will open this summer. // The new federal pathway will give employers more opportunities to fill a wide range of in-demand jobs, including nurse aides, personal support workers, long-term care aides, software engineers, web designers, mechanical and electrical engineers and technicians, teachers, tourism and hospitality workers, and truck and delivery service drivers”
