Advise require regarding bringing money into canada

[mizanmomo]

Hi,

I have received my PR visa along with my wife and baby boy. Now I am planning to move in Alberta at the end of 2009. When I filled my application forms, I mentioned I will bring CAD 50 000/= . Do I need to bring all the money with me when landing and have to show the Immigration officer? Can I bring CAD 17, 000/= cash and rest of them show my bank statement as a proof of fund? If I bring more money in Canada, do I need to pay tax for that money? What's the best way to bring money in Canada from UK? Any suggestion, thought or experiance, please advise me?

Thanks

Congratulations.! No need to carry entire amt as cash at time of landing. Bank statements &/or tc's or drafts adequate. There is no tax in canada for funds brought in thru banking channels & source can be explained if asked. Good luck.
