The Government of Canada does not provide financial support to new skilled worker immigrants.  Pursuant to paragraph 76(1)(b) of the Regulations,  Applicants must show that they have enough money to support themselves and their dependents after they arrive in Canada.  Proof must be provided at the time the application for immigration is submitted.  If sufficient funds are not available at the time the application is submitted, the application will be refused without further consideration. The funds can not be borrowed, and must be available and transferable and unencumbered by debts or other obligations. The amount of funds is assessed according to the applicant's family size based on Statistic Canada's most current low income cut-off guidlines.  The amount of  monies required is determined by the size of the family.
