I have about ten SSIS packages that use varchar and char columns in tables. Most are built from the wizard.
Is there a simple way to change the columns from varchar to nvarchar to update the SSIS package? We also may be adding some length to the fields.

By 'simple', I presume you mean without going through the packages and editing the meta data manually? I'm afraid the answer is 'no'.

Unless you need the extended international character set, you should probably stay with varchar.
To change all the reports I would open the reports code (view code) and do a Find/Replace. But don't do a Replace All or you may find that you change some things you didn't intend.

This is SSIS, not SSRS!
