What is the cost of immigrating to Canada as a skilled immigrant?
What should I budget for?
What amount is needed as settlement fund for my family?
How can I show proof of settlement funds?

Our #ImmigrationCorner Information session starts now! Join us to know this and more.
The decision to immigrate (move permanently) to another country is one that comes with some financial responsibilities. This may range from obtaining an international passport, paying relevant fees, and even the funds needed to settle down upon arrival. #ImmigrationCorner
The Canadian Government understands this & is making conscious efforts to keep official fees directly payable to Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as affordable as possible. There are, however, third-party fees also payable to other agencies #ImmigrationCorner
