Amount of money stated_Express Entry

[Zak386]

Dear all,

Once you state an amount of money to take with you to Canada. Should that amount remain untouched (even if spending from it will not affect the required official amount) in your bank account?

If so, how could you change the stated amount? (I couldn't find which section)

I hope my question is clear?

Thank you very much

You just need to make sure you have enough to cover the IRCC requested amounts listed in the below website.

Leave that amount untouched (don’t dip below it)

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

“The funds must be available both when you apply and when (if) we issue you a permanent resident visa.”

What you do with any surplus amount is up to you.

Thanks desp2017. So even if you declared to take with you a surplus and then you spend that surplus (or part of it) it's not considered a misinformation?

That’s perfectly fine. Should you be selected for an in person interview or an immigration officer at landing ask you for proof of funds, they will only compare it to the IRCC guidelines.
