✨ About CNEP
The Canadian Newcomer Empowerment Program (C.N.E.P.) helps newcomers navigate the first steps of settling into life in Canada with confidence and support.

Foreign Credential Pathways & International Qualifications/Parcours de reconnaissance des diplômes étrangers et qualifications internationales
Canada is entering a new era of foreign credential recognition — one that will shape how internationally trained professionals navigate work, opportunity, and belonging.
CNEP is developing an innovative pilot focused on Global tech professionals and skilled workers, supporting them as they prepare for Canada’s evolving qualification and credential pathways.
This pilot will inform a broader model that strengthens mobility, employability, and long-term newcomer success for Canada.
Le Canada entre dans une nouvelle ère de reconnaissance des diplômes étrangers — une ère qui déterminera la manière dont les professionnels formés à l’international naviguent dans le monde du travail, les opportunités et le sentiment d’appartenance. CNEP développe un projet pilote innovant axé sur les professionnels de la technologie et les travailleurs qualifiés à l’échelle mondiale, les soutenant dans leur préparation aux parcours de qualifications et de reconnaissance des diplômes en évolution au Canada. Ce projet pilote servira de base à un modèle plus large qui renforcera la mobilité, l’employabilité et la réussite à long terme des nouveaux arrivants au Canada.
