Canada has updated the settlement funds requirement for two Express Entry programs Source: CIC News The federal government has increased the amount of funds that certain skilled workers need in order to immigrate to Canada.... Prospective immigrants need to prove that they have a certain amount of savings in order to qualify without a job offer in the Express Entry-managed Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Settlement funds are not compulsory for those applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and those with a valid job offer. The amount of funds needed depends on the size of the family included on the application. According to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the following family members can be included on an application for Canadian permanent residence: the principal applicant; their spouse or partner; their dependent children; and their spouse’s dependent children. Spouses and dependent children must be included on the application even if they are already permanent residents or Canadian citizens, or if they are not coming to Canada with the applicant. The following amounts have been updated for 2020: Number of family members Funds required (in Canadian dollars) 1 $12,960 2 $16,135 3 $19,836 4 $24,083 5 $27,315 6 $30,806 7 $34,299 Each additional family member $3,492 Canada updates the minimum settlement fund requirements every year. Though the changes may be small, they may affect the eligibility of applicants.

Service and fee changes for visa application centres in Europe, Africa and the Middle East Source: Government of Canada, IRCC Need to go to a visa application centre (VAC) in Europe, Africa or the Middle East? IRCC recently announced some changes to services and fees at VACs in those areas. Here’s what you need to know about the changes that came into effect on November 2, 2019:... VACs in these areas collect biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) by appointment only. You can book your appointment by visiting the new websites for all VACs, which are linked from IRCC’s VAC page. VACs in Europe, Africa and the Middle East also no longer offer the following services as a package: submitting your paper application, transferring your documents to and from the visa office, and collecting your biometrics. VACs in these locations now charge a separate fee to submit your application and send your documents. Certain VACs are also introducing other services and fees. Details of these changes are now posted on the VAC websites for those locations.
