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.

How it works
Talent search
We receive your job description and get to work. We search our database to find the best candidates for the job. We compile a shortlist of candidates that we send for your review.
Interviews & job offer
If you are interested in interviewing any of the candidates, our team will coordinate a time for you and the candidate to conduct a remote interview. If you decide to extend a job offer to a candidate, let us know!
Visas
Once the candidate accepts the offer, our legal team will liaise with you and the candidate to submit the immigration application. Visa processing should take about 6 months.
Relocation
When the visa is approved, we will coordinate a start date with your team and your new employee, book flights, coordinate airport pick-up with you, and book transitional housing.
Arrival & settlement
You will pick up your new employee and their family from the airport. We will regularly check in with you and your new employee during the first 3 months to ensure everything is going smoothly.
