A: It sounds as though you are skilled enough to meet immigration requirements, but you're right: there are also financial requirements to immigrate to Canada. What most people do is borrow money from friends just long enough to produce a bank statement showing that you have the money necessary to support your family (from $10,000 to $27,000 depending on the size of your family), then you give the money back. Frankly, if you don't have that much money to begin with, I don't recommend moving to Canada. It will take you a long time to find a job (it takes native Canadians a long time to find a job), and life isn't cheap here. Also, you will need to speak French if you want to work in Montreal.
