Proof of fund question during landing process for spouse

[abcshake]

Hi guys

My wife will be landing in a few weeks as a permanent resident. I am her sponsor. I am trying to research the types of questions she might encounter from the immigration officers after landing. I've heard some PR applicants are asked for their proof of funds to live in Canada, I'm not sure if this question is relevant for spousal applicants after application is approved. My wife will be living with me and I will essentially be providing for her financial needs. If asked, can she simply say that her husband will provide for her financially?

Should I print out a bank statement in case this is asked?

Also are PR applicants usually asked if they plan to work in Canada regardless of the stream (express entry, skilled, spousal etc.)?

Thanks

For family sponsorships, no one need to worry about proof of funds. The CBSA might however ask how much she is carrying.

Thank you for the quick and simple response!

Did your wife landed? What questions did they ask? Did she show any funds ? Any money carried with her ?

There are no income or POF requirements for spousal sponsorship.

Technically no proof of funds but in your application you should show you have the means to support your family without government help.
