Immigrating to Canada is an exciting opportunity, but understanding the financial requirements and being prepared is key to making your dream a reality. At Talent Connected Worldwide, we specialize in guiding individuals and families through a smooth, successful immigration process, ensuring you know exactly what it takes financially and how to plan for each step.
How Much Does it Really Cost to Immigrate to Canada?
The cost of immigration varies based on the program you choose, and it’s important to be financially prepared from the start. Here’s a breakdown of the typical expenses you can expect:
1. Express Entry Program
The Express Entry program is the fastest and most popular route for skilled workers. Let’s take a closer look at the investment required:
Key Costs:
- Application Fee (Individual): CAD 1,365 (plus an additional CAD 515 if your application is successful).
- Language Test (IELTS/CELPIP): Around CAD 300.
- Educational Credential Assessment (ECA): CAD 200-300, depending on the assessing body.
- Medical Exam: CAD 150-300.
- Proof of Funds (which you must demonstrate as part of your application):
- Single Applicant: CAD 13,757.
- Family of Two: CAD 17,127.
- Family of Four: CAD 25,564.
This means for a family of four, you should plan to have around CAD 20,000 to cover all expenses, including application fees and proof of settlement funds.
Ready to Apply? Don’t worry – our experts can help you ensure all your documents are in order and provide strategies on how to meet proof of funds for Canada immigration without stress.
2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
If your skills are in demand in a particular province, the PNP is a great option. Every province has its own application fees, which vary between CAD 250 to CAD 1,500. Plus, you’ll still need to cover federal immigration fees and provide proof of settlement funds. We can help you identify the provinces with the most job opportunities for your skills and guide you through the application process.
Typical Costs:
- PNP Fees: CAD 250-1,500 depending on the province.
- Application Fee: Same as Express Entry (CAD 1,365 per individual).
- Settlement Funds: Based on family size, starting from CAD 13,757 for a single applicant.
We have helped hundreds of clients successfully secure nominations from provinces like Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta. Let us do the same for you!
3. Family Sponsorship
Want to reunite with your loved ones in Canada? Family Sponsorship is the perfect pathway. This program allows you to sponsor your spouse, partner, children, or parents to immigrate to Canada. Here’s what you need to budget:
Key Costs:
- Application Fee for a Spouse: CAD 1,080.
- Application Fee for a Dependent Child: CAD 150 per child.
- Medical Exam: CAD 150-300.
We understand how important family is, and we can guide you through this process to make it as smooth as possible.
4. Business Immigration & Investor Programs
For entrepreneurs and investors, Canada offers pathways such as the Start-up Visa and Quebec Immigrant Investor Program. These programs require a higher financial investment but come with the potential for quicker access to Canada permanent residency.
Investment Requirements:
- Start-up Visa Program: CAD 75,000 - 200,000 in investment funds.
- Quebec Investor Program: CAD 1.2 million in investment and a net worth of CAD 2 million.
We specialize in business immigration and can connect you with investment opportunities and designated organizations to help you meet the program requirements.
