Federal Government of Canada updated its settlement funds requirements for two immigration programs under the Express Entry program – Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). These new proof of funds are required to check eligibility for these immigration programs.
Express Entry also manages profiles of candidates registered under Canadian Experience Class (CEC), under which providing settlement funds are not compulsory.
The amount of funds required depends on the size of the family that includes the applicant. Following are the list of family members that can be included on the application for Canada PR Visa according to the Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC):
The applicant is required to mention their spouses and dependent children on the application even if they are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, or if they are accompanying the applicant to Canada.
The following table shows the updated Settlement funds for Canada PR Visa through Express Entry Program in 2020:
| Number of Family Members | Funds Required (In-CAD) |
| 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 |
These changes in settlement funds are done by Canada on a yearly basis with minor changes. These changes can be small but they may affect the eligibility of an immigrant for Canada PR Visa.

Candidates Invited By Alberta For Provincial NominationWith New Nominations Allocated, Ontario Invites Express Entry Candidates for Provincial NominationYear 2019 Starts with the Largest First Express Draw for Express Entry ProgramEver since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
