These funds are necessary to support yourself and your family upon arrival in Canada, demonstrating your ability to cover initial expenses. If you’re already working in Canada with a valid work permit, you may not need to show proof of funds. However, for all other applicants, sufficient funds are crucial for settlement in Canada
To ensure a smooth transition, it’s recommended to research the cost of living in your desired location within Canada and bring sufficient funds to cover initial expenses, including housing and finding a place to settle. Remember to declare any amount exceeding CAN$10,000 when entering Canada
