You can bring as much cash as you can carry. You are required by law to prove it was obtained by lawful means. They will tax the money only if it is income (thus, the term "income tax") and you meet the Residency standard set by Revenue Canada. They cannot tax earnings you made before you were a permanent resident.

Hey, thanks for your note. What about the rule saying that when you come to Canada as a foreigner you have to pay if you bring more that $10000?

You have to report if you carry more than 10,000 but that doesn't mean you need to pay tax on it.

I have never heard of this rule. I have lived in Canada and traveled into Canada many times and never came across this one.
However, there is a $10,000 declaration requirement. If you have more than $10k on you (cash, cheque, or any negotiable item), you have to declare it to Customs. This requirement is to crack down on money laundering and people involved in illicit activity.

golden is correct as stated below.

You have to report if you carry more than 10,000 but that doesn't mean you need to pay tax on it.

Patience is key in this situation. My account had no movement at all for over 3 months then BG check 'in progress' & PPR within 3 days! AOR to PPR was close to 5 months.

Seniors, please assist me on experience letter stuff.

I had submitted my experience letters from all the organization that I worked on and which contains the 1) Experience letter (relieving letter) 2) Offer letter 3) Salary slips of last three months of every company that I worked on. And a job description & main duties on company letter head.

Now In my all letters, there is nowhere mention that how much hours I worked in a week or if I was a full time employee? So will it be a problem?

I recently called to all my previous organizations and they have provided me a separate experience letter in which they have mentioned about my Hours that I worked weekly, full time employee status, jobs & responsibilities, designation and duration for which I worked for them.

Now its already been more than 4 months and my application is in process so what shall I do? shall I submit these letters through case specific query or shall I wait and if Visa officer will need extra documents than I will submit it?

Please guide me on this!
