Not sure what you mean by show funds. Part of the economic immigration route is to bring enough fund for your settlement. So on top of qualifying with the skill/eduction and work experience, you need to proof that you won't starve because it takes time to find a job in a new country.
There is no "show enough funds and you get immigration" as far as I know.
There is no investment immigration currently. Even Quebec has suspended it.

So that leaves me with not many options. I guess I will have to wait till something comes along which might help me. Till then, Will stay strong and find myself a job. Thank you for your instant replies.
- Volunteer work does not count. Only paid work experience in a skilled profession counts (i.e. NOC A , B or 0)
- Even with two years of experience, you almost certainly still will not have enough points to be selected due to your age unless you also have an advanced degree (PhD) and a job offer in Canada.
- Yes, there are some investment options available. You will need to have a net worth of a few million Canadian dollars and be prepared to spend several hundred thousand to invest in a business in Canada.
I am interested to know about any investment options now. I think so far, I've only heard of entrepreneur or business immigration which means that you have to be involve in setting up and running the business. (vs investor who just pay and wait for investment gain)
Hello,
I am a single mother from the Philippines, I am currently on a student visa (PhD) here in Ontario since 2019. I have an 8yr-old daughter left in my mother's care in the Philippines. My problem is that I did not include my daughter in my visa application since I could not afford to bring her with me yet that time. Now that I have saved enough and I do not have classes anymore (only thesis left that can be done remotely), I want her to join me here. In May last year, I started processing her on a student visa too. They have accepted basic requirements and also she finished medical exam already. Since I have stated in her application that the plan is for my mother (to who I have granted temporary legal guardianship while I'm away) to bring her here because I may not be able to go there because of COVID-19 travel restrictions, I filled up the IMM 5604 myself. Now, they are asking for a consent letter (non-accompanying parent) and court custody documents. Can I also make the consent letter or are they looking for a letter from the father?
I was never married nor lived with the father but he was written on the birth certificate of my daughter. He has not given any support nor communication since 2013 and so no relationship with my daughter too. I also don't know where he is now.
What documents can I show to prove that under Philippine Law, I have default sole custody and that I have full rights to make decisions for the interest of my daughter? I was able to get her a passport without the need to find the father. Also, before I moved here, I have a solo parent ID, community certificate declaring I am a single mother, and certificate of no marriage. My police clearance also states I am a single parent. Can I use these documents instead along with a cover letter explaining my situation and referencing Philippine laws or is it better to make some sort of affidavit?

Your certificate declaring that you are a single mother will help. You’ll need to do some research but the Philippines may give default custody to the mother if parents are not together. I would also explain that you have not had contact with the father since 2013. You may run into issue with your mother getting a TRV and have a problem getting special authorization to travel. I would look into unaccompanied minor travel options.

Start reading about express entry. You need education assessments for your degrees. Once you have that you can set up a profile. IF your score gets you an Invitation then you will need to show that you have full custody of the your child. This is through court orders and documents. The father will need to agree and support the child’s application and agree to your child’s medical.

Research Express Entry and see if eligible based on age, education (need assessment), skilled work experience, language skills and funds. You need full custody of child or husband needs to agree for child to immigrate with you.
There are no jobs here.
