How much it costs to emigrate from the UK to Canada (2026)
The honest line-by-line, in CAD or pounds. Plus the funds you must show but not spend.
The total cost of moving from the UK to Canada depends on your family size and route. Express Entry is points-based and doesn't need a job offer — but note Canada still requires an approved English test even from native speakers, and you must prove settlement funds.
The main cost buckets
- English test (IELTS/CELPIP)
- Educational Credential Assessment
- PR processing fee (per adult)
- PR processing fee (per child)
- Right of Permanent Residence Fee
- Biometrics
Remember: Canada also requires funds you must show (not spend). Express Entry requires proof of settlement funds (unless you have a valid Canadian job offer). Amounts below are reviewed yearly by IRCC.
