Minimum Salary requirement for CEC?

[zekedog]

Hi,
We have lived in Canada as temporary foreign workers (R186l) for over three years and are planning on applying for immigration under CEC.
Is there a minimum salary requirement for approval?
I have two concerns.
1. We don't make a lot of money, (salary under $40k for family of 5) and in fact are getting significant monthly tax credits from Revenue Canada. Although we do have some additonal rental income from the US.

2. The other concern is a young son who has a heart defect. No major heart surgery forecast in his future, but he has had a couple hospitalizations here in Canada. Prognosis is an annual visit to the cardiologist. I am wondering if he is an "excessive burden" on the system?

Advice?

Check http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/

Then click 'Wage', you can search with your occupation, it will show you a list of wage per hour for your job.

I believe there is no salary requirement, however if your income is wayyy lower than average, that may get you denied.

Exactly, there is no minimum wage requriement for CEC applications, however if your
wage is way lower than the average it may raise questions with the VO assessing your
application.

As for your sons health situation, I'm not sure about that. Maybe someone else can
shed light on that?

Thanks so much. We'll move forward!!
Another question. If you get rejected, and you decide to apply again, do you pay again? Assuming you do, eh?

If they send your application back before the issue your AOR then you don't have
to pay again.
If you get the AOR, and they reject later on, then yes you will have to pay again.

You can check salaries on this website: http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/
As previously said, there is no minimum requirement, but if your salary is like $30 bucks below the average, it
may raise questions with the VO assessing your application.
If there's like a small difference between the salary posted on the website and the salary you actually make, that's fine.

In my opinion and am sure some people may concur with me there is no salary threshold in this class, you however cannot earn less than minimum wage.

Good luck

Does the one year of work experience to qualify under the Canadian Experience Class include non-paid employment? Is there a minimum wage requirement for qualifying employment?

Non-paid employment does not qualify under the Canadian Experience Class. You must have been paid a wage (or earned a commission) but there is no minimum wage requirement for your qualifying work experience.

Full-time work experience means working at least 30 paid hours per week. To qualify, you must have skilled work experience, meaning work in occupations listed at NOC Skill Type 0 (managerial), or NOC Skill Level A (professional occupations) or NOC skill Level B (technical and trade occupations).

There is not, you're right, but in case a university professor teaching rocket science gets paid $10 / hour that
may look weird to the VO assessing his application, do you agree?
So the salary should be somewhere near to what's posted on http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/
