Getting your PR approved is only half the journey. We help with the practical side of actually landing and settling in Canada, flights, insurance, temporary housing, banking, and career counselling to get you working faster.
We go through your landing city, timeline, and immediate needs before you leave.
We help book flights and arrange insurance so you land already covered.
We help arrange temporary housing and walk you through your first week’s essentials, from SIN to banking.
We review your resume and discuss realistic timelines for licensing, if your profession is regulated in Canada.
We stay in touch through your first few months, not just your first few days.
Ideally as soon as your visa or PR is approved, and definitely before you book flights. Insurance, temporary housing and even your first job search go more smoothly when they are planned rather than rushed in the last week before departure.
Yes, in almost every province there is a waiting period, often up to three months, before provincial health coverage kicks in for new permanent residents. Travel or interim health insurance covers that gap.
Most newcomers can open an account within their first few days of arrival, and several major Canadian banks offer newcomer programs you can even start setting up before you land. We will point you to the option that fits your situation.
A Social Insurance Number is required to work in Canada or access most government benefits, and you should apply for it as soon as you land. We walk you through exactly what to bring and where to go.
Regulated professions like nursing, engineering and teaching require provincial licensing that is separate from your immigration status. We help you understand the realistic timeline and steps for your specific profession so you can plan your first year around it, not be surprised by it.
