Self-employed persons

Is there a net worth requirement?

There is no regulated minimum net worth requirement. However, you will have to satisfy a visa officer that you have sufficient funds to settle in Canada with your dependants, and to finance the economic activities on which your selection was based. For example, if you are a farmer, you will have to prove that you have sufficient funds to purchase and operate a farm in Canada.

You can find information on the funds that you require in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
