Reimagining global talent mobility

Talent is global. Opportunity is gated.

Millions of talented students 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 building the operating system for global talent mobility, moving qualified candidates to where demand is highest. By 2030, we’ll remove financing friction and make every placement measurable, for candidates, institutions, and local economies.

            AI-driven approach

Guided intake, start to submit

Documents checked and organized

Policies applied consistently

Approvals with a full audit trail

Our Mission

Providing access to opportunities means connecting motivated students to real shortages in Canada and the US, then supporting them through admission, enrolment, and financing.

AI guided matching

We use verified labor demand signals to focus on real shortages, then route candidates into the right program path. Eligibility is screened upfront so only viable applications move forward.
  • Matches verified demand
  • Eligibility screened upfront
  • Focused on shortage sectors only
  • Strong integration capabilities

Financing, for qualified candidates

Traditional credit models punish newcomers. We evaluate eligibility using program, profile, and outcome signals, then offer financing when criteria are met

End to end support system

We believe successful communities need more than just skilled workers. Passage guides intake, verifies documents, enforces policy, and keeps every step on track from inquiry to enrolment.
