I posted about this a little while back and just thought I would update regarding entering under Dual Intent.
We were successful at the border (arrived via Vancouver International airport). The only question they asked the PA was "how do you intend to support yourself financially for the next 6 months" and he responded "with my savings" ...the border agent inquired about how much the PA had saved and he said approximately $28,000, then was let through with no other questions and no need to provide proof of funds. Was about a 20 second conversation.
Seems like different border agents will ask different things. We were not asked for any supporting documentation about our application for his PR, didn't need to provide any proof of return flights (which we had NOT booked but were prepared to if they said it was necessary).
Now to wait and hope that the PR comes through in the next 6 months! (We have about 5 months to go until we hit the 12 month mark).
My PR card came 2 weeks after landing. You should go to get your SIN now as well
