Skilled Worker Class Immigration
<Required Funds for Settlement> |
 |
|
The IRP Regulations specify that Skilled Worker applicants must have sufficient funds to support themselves during the period of their initial establishment. While such immigrants are being selected on the basis of their ability to perform well economically over the long term it is anticipated that, during the inevitable period of adjustment to a new country, some of them will have initial difficulties in finding a job in Canada.
The amount of money that you need to have to support your family is determined by the size of your family. You do not have to show that you have these funds if you have arranged employment in Canada.
