Advice Required on some issues,its really urgent!!!!

[imranali_2004us]

There are some final issues left,kindly guide me in these :

1>At the time of landing ,do we have to carry the required amount in Bank Draft or Cash whatever OR Bank Statements can work as Proof of Fund? (I am living in Pakistan hence the Bank Account is also in PAKISTAN)

2>Is it necessary to carry the complete required amount(i.e 10,833 CAD$ for single person) or we can carry amount less than that at the time of Landing?

3>Can I make a Bank Draft in US$ and show it as proof of fund at the time of landing or the currency should be in CAD$ ?

4>If we have to carry the amount ,will that be ok if I carry some amount in cash and some in the form of Bank Draft?

not sure about the answers but nobody on the forum has ever mentioned that they wwere asked to prove funds at landing... so, i presume it must not be mandatory...

but, wait for others to answer, I'm not sure about it.

Wake uo guys,pls respond to these queries especially PMM and Leon

I am not Leon nor PMM, I will do my landing next month. Yes, you have to prove somehow that you are carrying with the total amount required. You can bring it in USD. The officer will ask you how much money you have with you, you have to tell them the truth, even if they do not really check it. I hope it is what you needed to know.

Hello imranali_2004us,
My personal experience:
I landed with my wife about 4weeks ago in toronto.
I had cash in US dollars for 2people( or even more)
To my surprise, the immigration officer only asked me: 'How much money do you have in your possessiion?'
I answered: '14,900 US dollars'
He asked: Is it in cash, bank draft or otherwise?'
I answered: 'in cash'
I was expecting him to ask me to show the cash to him, he never asked me. He just made a note in the form.
Therefore, answer to your question: It does not matter whether it is cash or draft. The draft can be in us dollar, it does not matter.
If you don't have arranged employment, I would not advise you not to carry enough cash sufficient for yourself. You never know what can happen. I hope this answers your questions
