Unless you have been working in Canada for at least 1 year on NOCs 0, A or B, and applied under CEC stream, you are still required to show proof of funds as part of your application and at the time of landing (if officer asks).

Analysis! Work is work. The officer at the border/flagpole will ask what NOC you work in?

Wonderful!

Same here. My passports were delivered on 24-Jul; sent to the Printing Room on 31-Jul (per information received when I called them last week).
I called earlier this week asking an update and was provided the *same* information.
Received an e-mail after I called that my passport has been received and will be returned to me 'shortly'. No updates since then...
This wait is rather frustrating!

How did you get them? Is there a trick? I have tried calling them everyday but I don't get through to the agent. It's been 3 weeks since I sent my passport but no news to date.

Finally became a Permanent Resident last Friday.

I did the landing at Lewiston–Queenston border. It took about 45 min as I arrived during shift changes. The officer asked to sign the COPR and to answer the criminality questions then he asked me about proof of funds. Most of my funds were in the 401 K plan but very easily accessible (in case someone is wondering if 401 k can be shown as proof). He then signed the COPR, congratulated me and gave me the welcome book.

I came back the same weekend. My car is financed so I wasn't able to import it. You need a clean title.

But did you mention that you have a car which you will be moving it at later days? Did you apply for SIN and Health card too? please let me know.

Correct and for people with job offer

should the job offer have been present at the time of applying for PR or even if we have it now at the time of landing it counts?
