Canada updates Express Entry proof of funds for 2021

Posted: 09 Jul 2021 01:25 AM PDT

Canada IRCC has updated the amount of proof of funds Express Entry candidates need to immigrate.  

Candidates who apply for Canada immigration under Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) will need the following amounts to remain eligible for immigration.

FSWP and FSTP candidates who do not have Canadian job offers will need the following amounts to remain eligible for immigration:

Number of family membersFunds required in CAD
1$13,213
2$16,449
3$20,222
4$24,553
5$27,847
6$31,407
7$34,967
Each additional family member$3,560

If your proof of funds documents shows less than these amounts, you will have to update your Express Entry profile no later than July 15, 2021.

IRCC has not yet considered FSWP and FSTP candidates in an Express Entry draw in 2021. As part of a pandemic measure, Canada has only been holding draws for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates. These programs have high numbers of candidates in Canada who are not necessarily required to provide proof of funds.

What is Proof of funds for Canada Immigration?

It means when you get ITA (invitation to apply) to apply for permanent residence, you will need written proof that you have enough money to settle in Canada.

According to IRCC, your proof of funds needs to be on official letters from your bank or financial institution as below.

  • printed on the financial institution's letterhead
  • include your name;
  • include the institution's address, phone number, and email;
  • list outstanding debts such as credit card debts and loans;
  • include, for each bank and investment account, the actual numbers, date each account was opened, current balance of each account, and the average balance for the past six months.

Funds must be readily available to you when you apply and when IRCC issues you a permanent residency visa. Meaning they cannot be in the form of equity. And, you cannot borrow them from another person.

If your spouse is coming with you, you can count the money you have together in a joint account. If you can prove you have access to an account under their name only, you may be able to count it too.

627 PNP candidates invited with CRS 760 under Express Entry- 7th July 2021

627 PNP candidates invited with CRS 760 under Express Entry- 7th July 2021

Canada invited 627 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on 7th July. The invitation round was only for candidates who had a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These candidates needed a score of at least 760.

The cutoff score is relatively high because PNP candidates automatically get 600 points added to their score. Without this award, the lowest-scoring candidate would have 160 points. Candidates who had the minimum score were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before June 14, 2021.

Throughout the pandemic, IRCC has been holding only PNP- and Canadian Experience Class (CEC)-specific draws. This is because these candidates are more likely to already be living in Canada, and less likely to be disrupted by public health measures like travel restrictions.  IRCC has been inviting high numbers of candidates. For the first time ever, IRCC invited more than 1,000 PNP candidates on 23rd June. These high draw sizes could be part of a strategy to meet Canada's immigration targets for 2021. The federal government has committed to welcoming 401,000 new immigrants to Canada this year.

So far this year, Canada has invited 89,342 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence. About 87 per cent of those invited that day applied for permanent residence before the 90-day deadline, according to an IRCC email. PNP-only and CEC-only draws have very different score requirements. PNP draws have higher cutoffs because of the 600-point award, while CEC draws have lower cutoffs because candidates are not competing for invitations from other programs. Which means IRCC takes more off the top, allowing for CEC cut off scores to dip into the lower levels.

Express Entry is a points-based application management system for the three Federal High Skilled programs, which include the:

You will get a score based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS awards points based on skilled work experience, education, age, official language skills, and other factors. IRCC holds regular rounds of invitation, issuing Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence to the highest-scoring candidates.
