Talent is everywhere
There are more than 43 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 and our partners are working to connect hiring managers with job seekers who are refugees, unlocking global job and skilled visa opportunities as a new solution to displacement.
If just 1% of the international talent moving to Canada to fill skills shortages came from within refugee populations, thousands of people would be contributing their skills, rebuilding their lives alongside their families, and leaving 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.
Our candidates are remarkable people. They are talented, ambitious, and living in refugee situations worldwide. They are eager to meet their potential and relocate to companies and communities in need of their skills. They are nurses, software developers, welders, butchers, technicians, engineers, managers, and more.

It's truly remarkable to have proactive organizations working with such passion to open doors that were once entirely sealed to the will of individuals driven by the passion for significant change wherever they are."
Enas, Program Coordinator
"When we arrived in Canada, we did not have time to think, but now that we sit down to reflect and look back and think about everything we went through, our chest tightens, and our eyes cloud over thinking that we are finally here. TalentLift has always been there, treating us like family and always looking for a solution. This is something that we will never forget. It marked our lives forever."
