Canada is a top immigration destination, but how much does it cost to move there? This guide breaks down the financial aspects of various immigration pathways.
Understanding Immigration PathwaysThere are several ways to immigrate to Canada, each with its own requirements and costs. Popular options include Express Entry, PNPs, Family Sponsorship, and Business Immigration. Knowing your eligibility helps determine the immigration cost.
Proof of Funds for Express EntryExpress Entry applicants (like the Federal Skilled Worker Program) may need to show proof of funds to demonstrate they can support themselves upon arrival. This requirement is waived if you have a valid job offer with a work permit.
Costs Associated with Family SponsorshipThe cost to sponsor a spouse or partner for permanent residency varies depending on if they are applying for permanent residence at the same time. Sponsorship fees, processing fees, and right of permanent residence fees apply.
Business Immigration CostsBusiness immigration options like Quebec Business Immigration, Self-employed Persons Program, and Start-up Visa come with processing fees, right of permanent residence fees, and additional costs for including your spouse or partner and dependent children.
