PASS Pre-arrival Supports and Services
The Pre-Arrival Supports and Services Program (PASS) is a pre-arrival program funded by the Government of Canada.
The PASS pre-arrival program is for Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) in their countries of residence who have been approved for immigration to Canada.
There is no cost for PASS services. IENs must have proof of graduation from a nursing school and a letter of immigration confirmation from the Government of Canada.
Planning for Canada Pre-arrival Program
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 or territory-specific information and guidance on settlement and employment services to make finding work in your intended field and occupation faster and easier.
