Pre-arrival settlement services

Hi

I am sure all of you who has received PR visa and COPR must have received a booklet detailing agencies providing pre-arrival services. Has anyone availed these services? If yes, what exactly is included in the pre-arrival services? Also, how much fees do they charge?

I think they use the data/statistics they gather (e.g. verified UCI, etc of their participants) to request for funding from the government. I gave mine to the pre-settlement services I attended online and on-site.

I think the COPR copy is fine. I attended the following:
on-line: prepareforcanada.com webinars
on-site: Canadian Immigrant Integration Program aka CIIP (newcomersuccess.ca) classroom-type sessions hosted in my home country
