As you know, future permanent residents have the right to receive free pre-arrival information from any of the 24 pre-arrival organizations authorized by IRCC (be careful, make sure to check they are authorized by IRCC before signing up!)

One of the topics they can explain is financial literacy (credits, credit score, loans, credit cards) and bank information (transferring money to Canada, opening a bank account before landing, etc).

You can sign up for one of them, the Immigrant Centre Pre-Arrival Centre, to start learning about this. The website is www.ic-pac.com . Next week they will be presenting a webinar about the financial system. In addition to pre-arrival settlement information, they can provide you with free referrals to the other pre-arrival services authorized by IRCC.
