Hi there

I have a few questions regarding application for express entry.

  • My husband is the main applicant, can we use my savings account as proof of funds? also do i then just send my account statements and bank letter or do we have to send his statements aswell if only my account has the proof of funds?
  • If there is maybe someone who can give me a over all indication of what will be needed in the complete application process and costs it would really be helpful.
  • I also wanted to know if it is relatively easy finding a job as a welder in Alberta, Calgary as that is potentially where we would like to immigrate to.
  • Then one last question, will it be a good idea to also get a provincial nomination from Alberta/ Calgary and does that cost anything?
Sorry for all the questions just want to get all my ducks in a row.

Thank you

The harder you try, the better. Jobs are available all over.

Try your scores, if possible, then use Express Entry or else PNP.
