Canada uses multiple points systems to assess prospective immigrants. The most commonly used are the Federal Skilled Worker points system and the Comprehensive Ranking System used by Express Entry applicants.

Each program has its own requirements but typically you will need to prove you are fluent in French/English, have a high school diploma or higher and work experience in a skilled occupation. Some programs may require you to have a job offer, but you can immigrate without a job offer.

Some programs require that you have a certain amount of money available based on your family size. These is called settlement funds. For those applying as a Federal Skilled Worker, you would require a minimum of $ 13,757, which would increase based on your family size. View your required amount here.
