Thanks for this. very thoughtful. Pls refer me to an agency in Toronto for this free service. Am landing this November.
I see that Bakhodir already gave you the info to sign up for Next Stop Canada in Toronto, which was going to be my first suggestion. They provide both settlement and employment info and they are based in your future city. Try to sign up as soon as you can so that you have enough time to take advantage of their services.

You can additionally sign up for CanPrep, which is also located in Toronto and is focused on employment only. You can sign up for many pre-arrival services, so it's a good additional option in addition to Next Stop Canada.

If you are in IT, the food industry, or the skilled trades, there are a few specialized ones for those fields. They are not specific to Toronto so they wouldn't be able to give you city-based info like Next Stop Canada would, but they would have interesting information about those fields.

And if you know anyone coming to Manitoba, please let them know about the Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre :)

If anyone in this forum is sponsoring his/her parents or grandparents, they can tag me on this thread and I can suggest a pre-arrival service that would give them information specific for them, depending on their age and profile.
Could you share a link for these in Toronto and Ottawa please
Thanks

Hi
actually i asked because we will be mew PRs so in that case, how can we take help from prearrival services
Thanks
You will have to meet certain requirements first before you can sponsor your grandparents and parents. Come back after at least 3 years. During the time, you would probably figure what to prepare for your them to immigrate here (without the need of the pre-arrival services).

Hi there! I think the person replying to you was the one who was confused, not you :)

For Toronto, I recommend Next Stop Canada, which is the service where @Bakhodir NSC works, here's their website: http://nextstopcanada.ca/

For Ottawa, there's Build On: https://www.buildonbatit.com/en/Who-We-Are

There are also Canada-wide services that are focused on specific aspects. PrepCan and CanPrep focus exclusively on employment programs, and like I said before there are a few Canada-wide services that focus on specific fields like IT.

I know most people are focused on getting their application through and waiting for the golden ticket/PPR! But actually this time as you await, is the best time to sign up for pre-arrival services. These services help you prepare to integrate and look for work in Canada.

Make sure to sign up for IRCC-authorized pre-arrival services to avoid scams or identity theft. There are 24 IRCC-approved pre-arrival services, all of them are free, and you can sign up for more than one.

If you are settling in Manitoba, we invite you to sign up for the Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre: www.ic-pac.com . If you are settling in another province, please comment with the name of the province, and I will include the links of all IRCC-approved pre-arrival services in your province.

Hello friend, Thanks for the information.
Someone on this forum told me that one can avail IRCC sponsored Pre-arrival services only after PR Visa is issued on Passport. Kindly clarify if I misinterpreted something.
Thanks.
