Hello,

We are pleased to inform you that you, your spouse and dependants can now receive free

pre-arrival services funded by the Government of Canada. These services are available

before you arrive and are meant to better prepare you for life in Canada.

Pre-arrival services are provided on behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Canada (IRCC) by settlement service provider organizations. These service providers

offer free information to help you with:

• Living and working in Canada;

• Getting your education, work experience, and professional licenses and

certificates recognized in Canada;

• Connecting with employers, and with free supports when you arrive in Canada,

including language training; and

• Connecting with others in your new community, including French-speaking

communities.

If you are outside Canada, we strongly recommend that you use pre-arrival services

before you leave. We encourage you to explore the list of services on the IRCC website:

canada.ca/pre-arrival-services.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-services.asp?utm_source=slash-pre-arriv

al-services&utm_medium=short-url&utm_campaign=general

When you register for pre-arrival services with one of the service providers listed on the

website, you will be asked to provide a copy of this letter. You can contact as many

service providers as you like and receive as many services as you need, and these services

are always at no cost to you.

You are also encouraged to take advantage of free Government of Canada resources

available online, such as Welcome to Canada, the official handbook to help permanent

residents prepare to come and settle in Canada. The handbook is available at

cic.gc.ca/publications.

Canada is a bilingual country where both English and French are spoken. If you are

interested in living in a French-speaking community outside Quebec, please visit

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/francophone.asp

For up-to-date information on immigration, settlement services and citizenship, we invite

you to join us on Facebook (Facebook.com/CitCanada) and follow us on Twitter

Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Ugh when I called they told me the BGC can take anywhere from 1 day to a couple months! The agent also told me "hopefully you will be done in 12 months" like yeah.. thanks!

Btw I think the BGC is short if you've previously applied for a work/study permit.

O doubt that, I’ve had 6 work permits and 2 visas and mine hasn’t started yet.

O doubt that, I’ve had 6 work permits and 2 visas and mine hasn’t started yet.

Right. Some visas/work permits require no background check to be done. My partner for example came to Canada on an intra-company transfer, and there was no background check done. CIC also says that for any step in the PR process where you may have submitted materials for a temporary resident visa, you will need to submit them again. I'm guessing they do everything from scratch for PR apps.

Your BGC may have started already and that your status on your GCKey just hasn't been updated.

O doubt that, I’ve had 6 work permits and 2 visas and mine hasn’t started yet.

What I meant was that if they've previously conducted a background check for you then it will go faster. Good luck.

Hello. On Form IMM 5406 Additional Family Information--at the time I didn't know the whereabouts of 3 of my sons, (they were angry about my divorce from their father) however I have since learned at least the cities they live in. Should I amend this document even if I don't have full addresses and email addresses? I only have the towns/cities?

Hi Cindy, I am sorry you have been going through that.
I would say that as long as you mentioned them on your application (which you probrably did) I would just leave it and just tell them this if they ask you. Otherwise try calling and an agent should be able to advice you if it is worth it at this stage plus it might help prove you are trying to be honest with them and willing to share the info that you have now. Big hug from a mom to another, keep your chin up and your love intact.

Thank you. I went ahead, today, and sent in an amended Family Information form. Thank you for your kind words.
