Bringing funds to Canada

[Gabyor]

I will be making the move to Canada soon and I have a question about funds/money and how we can bring it with us.
We are limited in my country in terms of the amount of money we are allowed to take with us internationally (even when it comes to immigration), that amount being only around 6000 CAD, but I heard that in the aeroport they will be asking to see the total money we had in our express entry profiles. How can we do that when we are not allowed to take it all with us? I thought about showing bank statements but I am not planning to leave my money in the bank because they won't be of any use ( they can't transfer money more than the 6000 CAD I will be bringing anyway). Is it possible to ask for bank statements then take money out after to give to family members in order to transfer to me once in Canada, will this make the bank statement "false" documents since I will be removing the money from the account immediately after, can they check?

Who would be asking to see the funds in your profile and check? Also, do you really need to take out all monies from home country once you move to Canada? Or you can take out the monies in mutliple times in a length of time?

To my knwoledge, there is immigration officers in the aeroport that will check with you your COPR before letting you in and part of it is checking if you have the required funds. Yes I need all of it and even some more to pay for college tuition, that alone will take most of it.

Is the transfer limit on daily basis? Say tuition is $60,000 then you might need 10 days to gather the amount.

You mean agents will ask you to show cash with you? This is not true. 99.99% of the time agents don't ask about money and in very rare cases they do you can just show bank statements. There is no requirement to bring actual cash when moving to Canada.
