What is the minimum income to move to Canada?

Okay, so you want me to make that text sound less like a dry answer and more like, well, a real person talking about it, right? I can do that. Here’s my attempt:

“So, the big question: what’s the least amount of money you need to even think about moving to Canada? Honestly, looking at those income requirements for 2024, my jaw kind of dropped. $44,000 just for a couple? Seriously? That’s… a LOT for a lot of people, you know? I mean, I remember when my friend Sarah was looking into moving with her husband… they were totally discouraged just by that number.

And then, the thing is, it just skyrockets with every kid you add to the mix! It feels almost impossible for larger families, doesn’t it? You start thinking, like, “Okay, Canada sounds amazing, but is it even realistic?”

It’s just a bummer because you hear all these wonderful things about Canada, how welcoming it is, and then you see these financial hurdles… it almost feels like a “dream killer” for some. It’s disheartening, truly. Makes you wonder how many genuinely good people, people who would contribute so much, are being kept out simply because of a number on a spreadsheet. I mean, is that really the only way to measure someone’s worth as a potential immigrant? I don’t know… just feels a bit off, doesn’t it?”
