Hmm... I would suggest budgeting how much you are wanting to spend on a residence for you three. You can look on www.craigslist.org under "apartments/housing" and do a search for the area you are moving to, to get a rough idea. So if rent is $900, double that for first and last months rent (and some may require an additional deposit on top of first and last, but I don't think that's common and could probably be negotiated).

Then work out how much food money you will need, expense money, costs for getting around on public transportation, etc.

I would say you would need at least $2000-3000 a month to live comfortably with your family in Canada before getting a job. But I'm a student and used to living on nothing, so you might want to add more!

Some good websites:

For a family of 3, if you are coming as a skilled worker, you would be expected to bring $16,580 , see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

are you asking how much the government requires you to bring or how much to bring in order to live decent untill you find a job?
where in canada are you going?
