Sorry to be a nuisance ladies.

My lady arrived in Calgary about two weeks after she received word that she was leaving from the Canadian authorities in London. She was met at Calgary railway station in January 1945 by her new in-laws.
How would they have known about her arrival? Would the Red Cross or some such organisation have contacted them and told them of the time of arrival etc.
I'm sure that it would have been impossible to get a letter mailed to Canada in such a short time. Her embarkation letter was dated 22 Dec 1944.
Note: she sailed on the Mauretania.
