Hey there! If you're dreaming of starting a new life in Canada’s beautiful Atlantic provinces, we have some important news for you. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has raised the funds needed to immigrate through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).

Starting from July 29, 2025, the minimum amount of money required will see a small increase. For a family of one, the necessary funds rise from $3,672 in 2024 to $3,815 in 2025—a notable 3.89% increase!

But don’t worry if you’re already working in Canada on a valid work permit; you’re exempt from this requirement. It’s great news for those of you who are already on your Canadian adventure!

Wondering how much you need based on your family size? Here’s a quick breakdown:

• 1 person: $3,815
• 2 people: $4,750
• 3 people: $5,840
• 4 people: $7,090
• 5 people: $8,042

Remember, the funds required change based on family size, and it’s essential to calculate your family correctly! Don’t forget to include your spouse, dependent children, and their children too.

If you’re wondering how to prove you have the necessary funds, IRCC accepts official letters from banks or financial institutions. These letters should include your name, the institution’s details, and information about your accounts.

Also, if you have a job offer from a designated employer in Atlantic Canada and meet other criteria, you can apply for permanent residency through the AIP. Plus, you might even qualify for a special work permit while your application is being processed!

This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to start a new chapter in Canada. Good luck!
