From what I remember of my research the Canadian government requires that you have something like three or six months of income when you enter the country, and there is also what they call a "landing fee" you need to pay when you first touch down on Canadian soil. I don't remember how much the landing fee was or the exact income requirements. The income supposedly guarantees that you don't land there without the means to support yourself while you look for a job and a home. I believe there's a different process if you come into the country with employment already lined up, but again I don't remember. I remember looking at the total figure and thinking it would take me years of saving to be able to afford to immigrate.

Why is it expensive to move to Canada? I mean, what is it that makes it so expensive?
