Those with professional abilities that are highly desirable or transferable apply as skilled workers. They are judged against a points system, based on education, experience and language.

MONEY:

If you are accepted, immigration officers will check to make sure you have enough money to support yourself and your dependents for at least six months, based on this chart:

Number of Family Members	Funds Required
1	$9,186
2	$11,482
3	$14,280
4	$17,286
5	$19,323
6	$21,360
7 or more	$23,397

*You do not have to prove you have these funds if you already have a job arranged in Canada.

Once in Canada, you are largely left on your own to look for work.
