Express Entry Updates 2020: Settlement funds

The requirements for proof of settlement funds have changed for 2020.

Settlement Funds
Settlement funds are only required for certain candidates, depending on the program(s) they qualify for. Check the new requirements for proof of settlement funds and update your Express Entry Profile, if necessary:

  • Ensure the Express Entry Profile is always updated.
  • If the profile does not show sufficient funds, it will be removed from the Express Entry pool.
  • If an Invitation to Apply (ITA) is received, the new funds requirements apply.

 

Education Credential Assessment
A reminder that IRCC only accepts an Education Credential Assessment issued for immigration purposes. Review the requirements:
