Would appreciate if someone could add/review information to this post. Moreover, what are the convenient means of carrying settlement funds (apart from cash) from India to Canada?
Just learnt that the relevant information is readily available in pre-arrival services offered by numerous organisations (funded by IRCC). Online and in-person sessions are usually available. The aim of these sessions is to help immigrants with a smoother experience once they arrive in Canada. The details will be made available in the PPR email, which is also a prerequisite for enrolling in these sessions.
Health Insurance Card (province specific) forms will be available here: Doctor’s office, pharmacy, hospital, govt website, or an immigrant-serving organisation.
