How else can I reach the desired funds for immigrating to canada if I don't have enough personal savings?

The one thing i can't seem to get a clear, and dare I say honest, answer from a couple of immigration consultants I sought help with is the show of funds. (I only doubt since they are not lawyers or accredited consultants under CSIC)I would need about $11,086 or P476,698. The options were given are the following:





1) Sell property. Even with a one time deposit of a lump sum, it is not a problem, as long as you can support it with a deed of sale.


2) Have a family member, spouse, or even a friend pump in the necessary funds as their way of supporting you.





Now I have a loan from a bank for a car, payable in 5 years time. If I sell the car to my friend for instance, the loan will just transfer to her, so it just cancels out my debt. I still need to raise about P400,000 more. I fear that if and when I do get a notice of assessment, I won't have enough funds to show.





How valid are the two options given? I wouldn't want to do anything illegal. Is there any other way?








There's just no one else I can really ask about this and Im afraid that the Canadian Embassy would just refer me back to the website.





I would appreciate any information you could give or at the very least, point me in the right direction.





Thanks!|||The first thing I would say would be to ignore any person offering you a loan and telling you that it is fast and will solve all your problems. Especially one like the hilarious con artist that posted the one on your Y! Question here.





Any reliable source of funds would not be using a free email website like live.com, yahoo.fr, gmail.com, or others. So I can only hope you won't contact "Jenny Wilson" or "Brown Wilson" or "Rose Grand" or any of the other names these scammers use.





In order to immigrate to Canada, you must have one of two things, and sometimes must have both:





1) Skills that are in demand in Canada





2) Enough money to support yourself in Canada for a few months while you try to get a job.





Salaries vary from province to province, and from profession to profession. So there is no way anyone can provide you an exact amount that you would need to assure that your immigration papers are processed and accepted. Besides the fact that money is not the only thing the immigration auditors look at.





The best approach is to find a company in Canada that is looking for international workers, and then try to get them to hire you and sponsor you. Many companies in northern Alberta are looking for heavy machinery operators, mechanics, and other skilled labourers. And not many people in Canada want to do that work because it is cold, lonely, and sometimes dangerous.





If you are willing to take on that challenge, you could live and work up north for a year or two and probably make quite a bit of money, then quit and move to a place with better working conditions.





Otherwise, you need to have some funds available because the Government of Canada (and the Canadian taxpayers) do not want to have to pay for your food and lodging. They have a hard enough time on their own.





The minimum annual wage in Canada is about CAD$17,000 so I would expect that you would need to show you have either a job offer already in your hands, or about $9,000 of funds available to pay for your housing and food expenses.





I would suggest talking to the Canadian embassy though. It really does not hurt to email them or call them, or go see them if you can. It wastes time if they cannot answer your questions, but may help fill in some of the blanks.





Best of luck.
