"Your settlement plan
Based on your answers, this information can help make your transition to life in Canada easier.
Instructions
Welcome to your personalized settlement plan. This will help you get the best possible start on your new life in Canada.
For convenience, the plan is broken down into checklists for before you leave, crossing the border, and your first few weeks, as well as other personalized information by topic, such as Money, Connecting, and Culture. If you prefer you can also view the entire plan on a single page.
Print or email your plan so that you have a copy. If you leave this settlement plan inactive for more than 20 minutes, you won't be able to come back to your answers and will need to start again.
Once in Canada, find an immigrant-serving organization near you and bring a copy of your settlement plan so that they can assess your needs more quickly. An immigrant-serving organization can give you a more personalized experience and support you with your next steps.

Crossing the border
You can prepare to cross the border into Canada by making sure that you understand all of the steps that are involved, and that you have all of the important documents that you and your family will need.
At the border you will need to present: a Canadian immigrant visa, a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, and a valid passport or other travel document, for yourself and each family member traveling with you.
You will also need to present two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you (PDF document), and two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value.
You will have two border crossing interviews. Be prepared to talk about your official documents and what you're bringing to Canada with you.
Make sure you know what you can and cannot bring into Canada.
If you are bringing CAN$10,000 or more (or the equivalent in foreign currency), you must report it to the CBSA.
Your first weeks in Canada
Here are some important steps that you should take in your first few weeks to start your life in Canada.
Use the “Find services” tab to find immigrant-serving organizations in your community. They can help you with many of the steps in your settlement plan including language training and finding work.
Apply for Canadian photo identification, such as a driver's licence, which you should carry with you at all times.
Apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN), a nine-digit number that you need to get a job in Canada or to have access to government programs and benefits.
Apply for a public health insurance card so that you can get taxpayer-funded health care. In Saskatchewan, this is called a health card. Your work or study permit must be valid for at least six months or you must be a permanent resident to be eligible for a health card.
If you do not receive one in the mail within six months of arrival, apply for a permanent resident card. This is an important travel document and your proof of permanent resident status.

Open a Canadian bank account and apply for a credit card so you can begin to establish your credit history in Canada. This will make it easier for you to get a loan or mortgage in Canada.
