RefugePoint: Global Task Force on Refugee Labour Mobility

Join Convisero Mentor and RefugePoint’s Founder and CEO Sasha Chanoff in a panel discussion on The Transformative Potential of Refugee Labour Mobility Pathways on Wednesday, April 6, at 3:00 pm EDT.

Across the globe, millions of people are displaced and in need of a safe, permanent place to call home. Labour complementary pathways allow people to enter or stay in another country through safe and regulated avenues for purposes of employment, with the right to either permanent or temporary residence. Sasha Chanoff, RefugePoint’s Founder and CEO, will participate in a panel discussion on The Transformative Potential of Refugee Labour Mobility Pathways during the virtual launch of the Global Task Force on Refugee Labour Mobility. RefugePoint and other founding Task Force members will provide an introduction to the goals of the Global Task Force, discuss the value of expanding labour pathways accessible to refugees, and invite interested stakeholders to become involved.

Event highlights will include addresses from The Honourable Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship; Mr. Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; and Ms. Bahati Ernestine, Economic Mobility Consultant (RefugePoint) and a Continuing Care Assistant (Glen Haven Manor) who immigrated to Canada as a health worker via Canada’s Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP).

Please confirm your attendance by registering via Zoom by Monday, April 4.
