Information on administrative procedures (Social Insurance Number (SIN), telephone number, driver's license, etc.);
Information and assistance in applying for a Medical Services Plan (MSP) card;
Connection to children's school system and information on post-secondary educational institutions;
Childcare information;
Understanding the banking system and helping you open an account;
Recommendation to the Language Instructions for Newcomers (LINC) program (*note that this program is offered exclusively to permanent residents).
Extend or change your stay
Our settlement agents can provide you with information on the various immigration programs available to extend your stay in Canada or your work permit.
However, BC Francophone Immigration Program agents cannot do the work of lawyers and immigration consultants.
