Quebec
Quebec selects and integrates many newcomers itself. The IRCC settlement finder does not include Quebec providers. RAMQ registration is a separate step from a SIN.
1 listing is specific to Quebec. The rest are national and still apply here.

If your permanent residence is approved and you are still outside Canada, you can register for free online settlement services before you fly. Temporary residents are not eligible.
