Pleased to meet you.
We can help you prepare for Canada as soon as you get your pre-arrival letter.
Planning for Canada provides information and guidance to family and economic class immigrants and Atlantic Immigration Program candidates before their arrival so they can be better prepared to live and work in Canada. We offer information sessions, personalized planning services and connections to in-Canada advisors for province/territory-specific information and guidance on settlement and employment services to make finding work in your intended field and occupation faster and easier.
Since 2007, we have helped more than 63,000 immigrants from 111 countries plan for and settle in Canada with confidence.
Planning for Canada is run by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
