What would you do if you had only 8000 euros to spent?

Hello people! I hope you are doing okay.

I am starting the process of immigrating to Canada via Express Entry. My main concern is my limited budget.
All I have is 8000 euros and I think I might be able to cover this process with this amount.
In my expenses, I am counting the fee for a consultant plus other expenses for documents and the expenses of staying in Canada until I would find a job, three months maximum.
Am I crazy for thinking this strategy? What would you do if you were in my case?

Thank you in advance!

It's not enough money to be approved for PR through EE. You need a couple of thousand to pay for the fees and other expenses related to the immigration process. You then need to show an additional $12.5K to prove you have enough funds to cover your settlement costs in Canada.

See proof of funds requirements in the link below. This is separate from the application fees and other application expenses (e.g. medical, IELTS, ECA).

You are a few thousand short right now.
