You can still receive pre-arrival services, anyone who has a UCI number and that is coming as a permanent resident is entitled to free pre-arrival employment and settlement services. To which province are you moving? I may be able to recommend one or two in your province.

Thanks. Then there is some hope, if I don't get it on the mail right away, at least I'll see it if I check online every day.

I didn't come through MPNP but many of our pre-arrival clients did, and from what they've described, they are very, very strict about the funds, so he will probably need to fulfill the 10K requirement for the 6 month period. If anyone has had a different experience, please let me know if I am...

Hi Alexy, did you get your test invite both by mail and email, or just by postal mail? Now I'm worried because the postal service in our neighbourhood to be a bit iffy :( I am also in Winnipeg.

My apologies if my post interrupts the discussion that is going on ( @rish8888 hats off to you, you are entirely on point). I just want to share my two cents. I have lived in BC and MB, and spent time both in big cities and small rural towns. Yes, there is racism in Canada. The majority of...

Hey there! Sorry I didn't see this before, I didn't have a chance to log into the forum until today. From what we see with our clients, it varies a lot. Some get PPR about a week after getting the pre-arrival services *email*, and some have waited for months! I think the median would definitely...

I have never heard of anyone who was called for an interview after they got the pre-arrival services email, at least not among our clients and we've helped well over 500 by now. I imagine it is not impossible, but if our clients are a representative sample, I would imagine it is not very likely.

A few of our clients are still waiting, looks like many MPNP applicants are facing delays :( but someone said they would start sending PPRs as of this week. We saw that EE and some FSW applicants did receive PPR as of this week, I hope all of you will get yours very soon. While you wait for...

Most of our pre-arrival services clients get PPR between one week and one month after getting the letter inviting them to avail of our services. And then they receive a visa with a specific validity (usually 6 months), so at that moment they decide when to land. Some leave immediately after...

That is very unusual :( I don't know what would be there for them to review. The one client that had that happen to her, they were coming from one country but her husband worked in another one, and they had provided the wife's address as both the residential and postal address, whereas he should...
