Yes, you must fulfill the requirement to provide proof of sufficient funds to apply for the Federal Skilled Trades Program FSTP in Canada. In some cases, proof of funds is not required to work in Canada, which is:
- If you are legally working in Canada and have a valid job offer
- Have a valid job offer from an employer
Proof of funds is required for FSTP as it is necessary to demonstrate that you have enough funds to support yourself and your family upon arrival in Canada. The proof of funds depends on the size and is periodically updated by IRCC.
