Unlocking Success Before Arrival: The Planning for Canada (PfC) Pre-Arrival Program
Embarking on a new journey in Canada? The Planning for Canada (PfC) pre-arrival program, funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), has been a beacon of support for over 65,000 immigrants from 111 countries since 2007.
Why Pre-Arrival Services Matter
With nearly 25% of Canadians being foreign-born (Census 2021), ensuring newcomers have access to essential support and services is crucial for their personal and economic success. PfC’s pre-arrival services equip immigrants with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in their new home.
Benefits of Pre-Arrival Services
Approved permanent residents can access a variety of PfC services designed to:
- Assess needs and connect newcomers to relevant supports pre- and post-arrival.
- Provide accurate and current information about life and work in Canada.
- Equip immigrants with skills for the Canadian job market.
- Facilitate connections to new communities.
Despite the availability of these high-quality services, many immigrants remain unaware of them.
Real Stories, Real Impact
“Planning for Canada is a transparent program that gives you a real picture of what life in Canada would be like when you first arrive. It also helps you create a to-do list of what you need to focus on when you first arrive,” shares Nithya, an immigrant from India and PfC participant.
