Note: We update these numbers every year based on 50 per cent of the low income cut-off totals. You may want to double-check that you still have enough money, based on the new cut-off, to support your family if you immigrate to Canada. This change is small but there is a chance it could affect your eligibility.
Below was the old requirement:
Number of Funds Required
Family Members (in Canadian dollars)
1 $12,164
2 $15,143
3 $18,617
4 $22,603
5 $25,636
6 $28,913
7 or more $32,191
Thanks for the update. This is also a reminder for everyone who is in the pool to update their profile in the section where it mentioned how much money will you be bringing to Canada in case you answered the minimum according to the old amount.

Very good point! Just updated mine from 15,200 to 15,500. I am 99% sure they would have assessed my funds based on the day I got the ITA but, you never know!!
Question: if in my online expresss of interest, i say that i have $20,000 for a single applicant, but at the time of actual application, i can only provide fund of $15,000, will i be penalized for this? Is it advisable to declare in the online EOI a number that is slightly higher than the minimum requirement?

I got my ITA yesterday , As I have a skilled job, do I need to show funds if I have a valid job and income ? as it says in CIC website" Note: You do not have to meet the funds requirement if you were invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class."
Can you please let me know if i have to show any fund?
