Pre-Arrival Services Email Timeline

[permafrost_can]

I know most of you are eager to get PPR, and I don't blame you, I was just as anxious or maybe more when awaiting PPR but don't forget to actually sign up for pre-arrival services!

At a recent meeting with IRCC (CIC) and other pre-arrival services we noted that many people just focus on waiting for PPR and disregard the pre-arrival part. It is proven that arriving prepared makes a huge difference when it comes to settling more easily, experiencing less culture shock, integrating better into the community, and finding a job more easily. That's why the government is funding these services. If you're coming to Manitoba, the Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre can help. For other provinces, I can recommend pre-arrival services in your city if you speak French, Spanish, Chinese or Tagalog, I can recommend services in your language too.

Hello Cheche,

Thank you for your message. To register for the Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre please visit www.ic-pac.com and / or email pre-arrival@ic-pac.com; if you email, include in your email whether you prefer to receive services in English or Tagalog . The Planning for Canada session is different, both services are funded by the Canadian government and provide different services. The Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre provides webinars and one-on-one assistance with information very specific to Manitoba, like the health system, how to enroll children in school, housing in Manitoba, etc. as well as referrals to Manitoban organizations. It is encouraged to receive both (Planning for Canada and Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre).

ohhh thanks, i will do that this coming weeks...that’s a big help on my part..

I only have one client from there, but he got PPR about a week or two after the pre-arrival letter. Since it is just one point of data, I wouldn't know if it's the same case for everyone.

OK. Do you know it is 2017 or 2016 case? thanks.

I just wrote this in the sept discussion but it would be handy to have the pre-arrival included in the updatable spreadsheets.

Thank you for sharing @lileka - do update us once you hear something!

I’d love to leave others who visit the forums with some good information about the pre arrival letter timeline

you are welcome! I'll keep you posted.

If you got the letter on February 14th, it's too soon you will get PPR in a few weeks, hopefully. And while you wait, if you are coming to Manitoba, you can get pre-arrival services from the organization where I work



Hi Jaywill, I asked a few people and they said it's average or a bit faster than average for those applying through the Paris VO, sounds like it's between 3 and 5 weeks for most. But I don't have that many clients from the Paris VO, so I don't really have that many points of data to form a solid opinion.

Yes, looking forward to getting PPR soon, it's been too long
Thank you for your offer, but I'm already in Canada

Tomorrow (February 23) it will be 4 weeks since we got Pre-Arrival services email.
Does anybody know what is the maximum amount of time between Pre-Arrival and PPR?

Hopefully we get PPR soon...
But our GC Key STILL says they are reviewing my husbands eligibility, and the BG has not started yet. HMM
