Reimagining global talent mobility

Talent is evenly distributed. Opportunities are not.

Millions of talented people are eager to contribute to growing economies worldwide. They have the drive. They have the potential. What they lack are the resources to make it happen. We're here to change that.

We're creating a world where talent flows efficiently to where it's needed most. By 2030, we'll remove financial barriers while ensuring every match benefits both the individual and their destination community.

Data-driven approach

Communities get exactly the talent they need

Economic growth accelerates through precise matching

Integration happens naturally through careful selection

Innovation flourishes in sectors that need it most

Our Mission

Passage matches top international talent with labor shortages in Canada and the US, helping fund their journey. Our mission is to provide access to life-changing opportunities by targeting sectors with verified talent gaps. Currently, these critical shortages are in Healthcare, Skilled Trades, and STEM.

Data-driven talent matching

Our matching process is simple and effective. Through AI, we analyze real labor market data to identify genuine skill shortages. We then find exceptional talent to fill these specific needs. Before providing any funding, candidates go through a thorough screening to ensure they'll succeed in their chosen field and contribute meaningfully to their new community.
  • Skills must match verified market demands
  • Proven academic and professional potential
  • Focus on critical shortage sectors only
  • Strong integration capabilities

Smart financial technology

Today's credit systems only work for those who already have assets or high income. This locks out countless talented individuals. We're changing that. Passage looks forward, not backward - modeling future potential and predicting earning capability.

Comprehensive integration support

We believe successful communities need more than just skilled workers. They need engaged and culturally integrated members. Our support system spans the entire journey:
