Receiving a pre-arrival services letter is typically a positive sign, indicating assistance with settlement upon arrival in Canada. However, since you're applying inland, its impact may be minimal. Focus on completing the requested medical exam and biometrics, as they are standard steps in the process

it isnt much help. they just sent you all the link you can look at. But if you want to find job. its nothing. they tell you to go test your english and skill.
Salut @Tong tong, I have just received same letter in the email yesterday and wanted to know
1. how important it is to register?
2. Would I jeopardize any thing if I choose not to register?
3. Do I have to fill exactly as I have filled in my IRCC work history and with the same NOCs if I choose to register?

Thanks again

All the services there are entirely voluntary. It's offered to help you. If you don't wish to use them - your choice.

I strongly doubt IRCC pays any attention to your work history and NOCs etc that you enter on any sites. They just want you to find employment and support yourself and your family. They're providing you resources to begin that process.

Hello
Receiving pre arrival letter is one more step done towards your PR ( Good Sign )

Don't do anything.

Just wait for next update.

Mostly next few days / weeks you will get COPR / Photo upload. ( portal request)

Be happy

1. Not important to IRCC. If you find the service useful for you, then you register.
2. No
3. No. It's not an IRCC application. It's just services offer to new comers.

thanks a lot for your response. Honestly, I was imagining since one has to provide his UCI number, that maybe the pre arrival canada would be somehow linked to the eAPR file. I am looking to focus away from my primary NOC that was filled during the application (in January of this year), and being that I am presently working (since April this year) in a role that differs from that primary NOC indicated in my eAPR application. I want to continue to pursue this present job's NOC once am settled in Canada (and yes, I have years of experience in it too, just that it was not my primary NOC.
So my fear is not come off as contradictory when I register for the pre arrival canada programs.

Thanks for your response.

You said "Don't do anything" : I would really appreciate if you could shed more light on what you mean here. I look forward to it. Cheers

It sounds like your case is not a spousal sponsorship - you're posting in the wrong forum. If you're worried about the NOC stuff, post in the correct forum. I don't know about that stuff at all.
