Post PR Checklist

Sharing my checklist for anyone who's reached this point in their journey. (congrats!) I found it super helpful to have this tracked. (my list may be overkill, so modify as you want.)

  1. Verify info & Download eCOPR
    • Make physical copies
    • Make digital copies (save to files, email yourself, whatever is secure)
    • Sign your eCoPR! You'll need to use the signed one for all purposes moving forward, like health card applications, etc.
    • Make digital copies of the signed doc
  2. Apply for a Social Insurance Number.
    • Make physical and digital copies of your SIN
  3. Apply for a Health Card
    • Make physical and digital copies of your temporary health card document
    • Once you receive your physical card, save digital and scanned copies
  4. Research family doctors and connect
  5. If you're eligible, look into the Dental plan
  6. Update your bank
  7. Update CRA
  8. Update current and past employers
  9. Spend some time researching any new benefits you can access (like language services)
  10. Keep a tracking document for any travels outside CA, if citizenship is something you'd like to apply for.
  11. The PR can be revoked for serious crimes, etc. So...don't do that.
