Express Entry with Spouse

[kellevillar]

Hello everyone!

I hope one of you could help me.

I am planning to submit an application for Express Entry, with spouse or married status, do I need to have funds? Some of my friends they put ZERO under funds, but they applied single status.

Thanks in advance.

Whether you can put zero or not depends on the program in which you'll be applying to among other factors, NOT on your marital status.

Ooh okay. May you please explain more?

 

[DelPiero07]

Sure, if you are a CEC applicant or if you have a valid job offer you need not provide proof of funds.

Hello there,
Yes I have a valid job offer, however my husband doesn't have. Would it be still possible not to have funds?
Thank you so much.

You are not providing enough information for me to properly answer your questions.

1 - Are you the primary applicant?
2 - What kind of work permit do you have? Do you have LMIA?
3 - How long have you been working for your employer?
4 - Are you a CEC applicant?

 

[kellevillar]

Hello. Yes I am the primary applicant. I'm going 2 years with my employer on Sept 2018. And we are LMIA exempt.

You are a CEC applicant, no POF is required.
