Date Announced:

Overview:

Canada has increased the amount of settlement funds required for skilled worker immigration. Candidates must prove they have the required funds in order to qualify for permanent residence programs. The amounts are used for some Express Entry-linked programs, plus many other programs, including the Start-Up Visa. Although Express Entry manages three immigration programs, only skilled workers under the Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades programs must show they have enough money to settle in Canada.
