The new requirement came into effect on January 12, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Though the increase is small \u2014 just under two percent, around the rate of inflation in Canada \u2014 there is a possibility that it could affect some candidates\u2019 eligibility. Consequently, all candidates are encouraged to double-check the new figures.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates who receive an Invitation to Apply under the Canadian Experience Class\u00a0are not required to show settlement funds. In addition, candidates authorized to work in Canada and who have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada are not subject to the settlement funds requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada\u00a0(IRCC) stated that certain candidates who completed an Express Entry profile before January 27, 2015, and who are subject to the settlement funds requirement, may have received correspondence that their profile has been reassessed under the new requirement. Individuals who have received an Invitation To Apply\u00a0and submitted an e-application to the government of Canada are not subject to the new requirement; if these applicants were required to demonstrate settlement funds, they will still be assessed under the requirement in place at the time they submitted the application.<\/p>\n<p>Settlement funds are required so that new immigrants to Canada and their families, if applicable, have the means to establish themselves in their new surroundings and pay for initial costs, such as accommodation. This money cannot be borrowed from another person.<\/p>\n<p>These funds could be in the form of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash;<\/li>\n<li>documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.) or<\/li>\n<li>documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers\u2019 drafts, cheques, travellers\u2019 cheques or money orders).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Settlement funds requirement, as of January 12, 2016<\/h2>\n<p>The required settlement funds must be equal to or greater than the sums listed below for each family size.
