Invitation to Pre-arrival services

[Marlinac]

Does anyone know what they ask in Interview? Also, what is there in pre arrival letter and what to do with that? TIA

Hi

Pre arrival services are free employment and settlement services offered by government of Canada. It is strongly recommended that you register for these before arriving in Canada. Once you register, a dedicated employment counselor will work with you for - resume customizations, job search support and mentoring. You can register at https://www.jvstoronto.org/pre-arrival/canprep/

Hi, my son received the same pre-arrival invitation a few days ago as well. We live in Ontario, and OHIP is apparently available for people for have applied for PR and are eligible and have not yet been denied. Like most people are saying, if getting this invitation means that my son is eligible for PR, does that mean he can apply for OHIP?

Hi

Your son can apply for OHIP 3 months after landing in Canada, not before that.

If it's any consolation, in the pre arrival centre where I work, we help over 200 clients every month, and we've only heard of ONE person who was rejected after getting the pre arrival services letter. So even if it's not impossible, I would say the odds are around 1 in 500 or even 1 in 1000.

Congratulations to all who have received the letter! Fingers crossed for all of you and if you are moving to Manitoba, please let me know. We are the only pre arrival service specific to Manitoba, and which provides services in French, Spanish and Tagalog in addition to English.

It is indeed helpful. Can u plz help me to know whether they send prearrival letter and eligibility passed letter after reviewing medical results?

Hi, I know this post and comment are a year old, but I wanted to say I really appreciate your info! Several years ago my husband's visa was refused and I was completely devastated. I was counting on raising our kids in my home country. Well, here were are, having applied again, and I've just received a "pre-arrival services" letter. I'm about to scream and cry of joy but I'm so scared to. His background check should pass with no issues, so is it safe to say he will receive the visa?

the invitation just means your PA has passed eligibility, a good sign, but still not a guarantee of approval

your app can still be denied based on the background checks

Hi,

My wife received the same thing-- Invitation to pre-arrival services.
My question is --- My wife got to Canada on Visitor's visa few weeks ago. Since she got this invitation can she stay back here till the rest of the process is done?

Hi permafrost. You seem to be the go-to-person on this forum. You are so well informed and positive. We all need that cos we are mostly dieing of anxiety. Im on the mpnp to MB and got my medical request since April 1,2019. I did the medical with my wife on April 16, which have been received by IRCC according to ecas. I've read severally that medical requests+pre-arrival services letters are signs that one has passed eligibility & ppr is just a matter of time. Do you batter based on your experience? I trust every of yiurcword permafrost.

 

[subsahara2000]

For most cases, it does mean that you are eligible but they just need to finish doing the background check or something. At our pre-arrival centre we have helped almost 1,000 future PRs and I have only seen ONE case where they did not get PR after having received the pre-arrival letter. It was because IRCC found out they had not disclosed information regarding the place of residence of the spouse.

There's also the issue of the changes in the medical eligibility criteria. I read on another forum that someone spoke to an IRCC agent and he (or she) confirmed that the changes implied delays in the processing of a large proportion of applications.

I have seen a flood of PPRs among the people I help, so I'm assuming most people who were delayed will receive theirs in the near future.

You are a star permafrost...a superstar. We love your real life examples and analyses. You give us soooooooo much hope. We love you!!! Cantvwait to meet up with you cos im coming to Winnipeg on MPNP and according to IRCC completion time, they will finalize my case by end of September 2019.

Hi there
We received a Pre-arrival service letter today. We did biometrics about two months ago. but still, we didn't do a medical check.
I thought usually this letter issued after medical check.
what the meaning of this letter now?
