WelcomePack Canada is Giving Every New Permanent Resident a Gift Box

This 2015, WelcomePack Canada is keeping in with the tradition of giving every new Permanent Resident in Canada a gift box filled with products and gifts. Permanent Residents who landed in Canada on or after January 1, 2013 can pick up the WelcomePack gift box at over 60 newcomer settlement services centres who distribute them, including the YMCA, S.E.A.S Centre, SAFSS, Indian Rainbow Community Services, and many more. Following the WelcomePack Canada program last year which benefited more than 30,000 new immigrants, the company aims to replicate the success of the program.

Obtaining a Permanent Residency Card—The Perks

Otherwise known as a PR card, a permanent residency card is an excellent way to enjoy all of the benefits that Canada has to offer. Of course, this type of status is only available to those who are NOT currently Canadian citizens. Besides this one stipulation, there are a few other guidelines that should first be considered. One must not have been asked to leave the country by the Canadian government, currently reside within the country, and already have a resident status. So, why is this card so advantageous?

Getting Used to Canada

Once you’re moved in, living in a new country can be a harrowing experience. You won’t be a permanent resident without really wanting to live here, or at least having a very good reason to – but that doesn’t make it less intimidating!
