The eligibility period is generally until the person has acquired provincial or territorial status, usually 3 months after applying. Details of the services covered and the process are available from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/

It is possible to apply for an extension to the IHBP (application form for extension available from http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5564E.PDF )
After the initial settlement period, the families might qualify for the other provincial programs listed above.
