Future permanent residents are entitled to free pre-arrival services by organizations authorized and funded by IRCC. There are 24 of them and most are focused on employment preparation. Some organize online job fairs with employers looking for future newcomers, some offer workshops, and some...

Is it the ESL teaching program, or an ESL program to learn English? PMM is right about the language programs, but if you are doing the ESL teaching one, then you can get her a work permit as it is a post-secondary program.

Yes! Some banks limit the service to specific countries and some offer the service for everyone. At the very least, four large Canadian banks offer this option: RBC, BMO and Scotiabank. TD offers it only for clients in India or China. Message me or contact www.ic-pac.com if you would like to...

As you know, future permanent residents have the right to receive free pre-arrival information from any of the 24 pre-arrival organizations authorized by IRCC (be careful, make sure to check they are authorized by IRCC before signing up!) One of the topics they can explain is financial...

I strongly suggest visiting the MPNP office on Notre Dame Avenue so they can give you clear information, but it is my understanding that if your application is accepted and you receive the nomination, then you can apply for an extension to your work permit on the grounds of accepted immigration...

Once you are in the federal stage, don't forget to register for free pre-arrival services funded by IRCC. It is not mandatory but it will help you prepare to look for work and regarding settlement aspects like enrolling your children in school, looking for daycare, getting a health card and a...

Are you contacting your friends and acquaintances in Manitoba, or just random people you have never met in person?

I'm a bit late with my updates. Got the letter for the test/interview on April 30th, test date May 24th.

¡Felicidades! I haven't got the test invite yet but the settlement staff at a local newcomer service provider told me that it is very easy to ask for a reschedule, but you do have to do it right away. If I recall correctly, you only have a window of two to three weeks to ask for a new test date.

They just need your UCI number and it is not for their own use but to get authorization from IRCC to provide you with pre-arrival services.

Thank you :)

Are the interviews a common thing? I mean, is the test always followed by an interview?

Thank you :) Yeah, these delays are unbelievable. I hear the same thing on this forum and a few more where I participate, and from our partner organizations as well. Hopefully now that the new fiscal year started, things will speed up.

We're the forgotten ones

I don't know if you are at the end of the process. It is definitely a good sign, but right now everybody is experiencing long delays, both at the start, middle and end of the process (and also those applying for citizenship, for refugee status, etc). For Ontario I definitely recommend In-Tac...

Not just any warm coat ;) part of our services includes a webinar explaining the kind of winter wear you will need in Manitoba. We've got it all covered!

Congrats to everyone who have received test invitations! I have received absolutely nothing for a while. Is anyone else in Winnipeg on the same boat?

IRCC funds pre-arrival service providers to make sure that all newcomers are well informed and prepared before they arrive, especially regarding paperwork, language training, education of their children, and employment search. In Manitoba, the only local pre-arrival service is the Immigrant...

W Where in Canada are you settling? AEIP S.U.C.C.E.S. are good.

If you decide to stay in Manitoba, come to the Immigrant Centre. They will explain to you how to apply for child benefits once you have a baby, and your options for work and income support. If you move to other provinces I don't really know who would be able to give that help but I assume there...
