Are you in the Express Entry pool for Canadian permanent residence? Then you must act now—IRCC has officially released the Express Entry funds update 2025, changing the minimum money you need to qualify.
If you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), you need to update your Express Entry profile with the new amounts by July 28, 2025—or risk becoming ineligible.
Let’s break down who needs to update, how much money you need, and exactly how to do it.
What Is the Express Entry Funds Update?
Each year, IRCC updates the settlement fund requirement based on 50% of Canada’s Low Income Cut-Off (LICO). These funds show that you can support yourself and your family after landing in Canada.
The update, released on July 7, 2025, applies to Express Entry applicants under:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
You’re exempt if you:
- Apply under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Have a valid job offer and are authorized to work in Canada
