stupid question i know, but what about when you are doing soft landing ? do we have to inform them that we will be leaving in 3-4 days or something ?
Do we need to carry financial proof when we land?

We dont have to inform them. But, give them a tight hug after you landnothe immigration officer.
The link you have posted is for a 104 pages thread and i understand what you said what i am asking at which part of the thread or page did someone post that he got his home country statements denied? I am not saying that its untrue but i didnt read it before,thanks
1st page, 1st post, under bankstatements as pof. Read the 1st post, you ll know everything you need about landing. Hope this help!
is that updated though? its posted in 2010... 7 years is a long time
There are no valid guidelines or any info from cic. These are all shared experiences. Someone with local bankstatement will get through, unlucky one's can be pulled off. IO may not even ask to show proof etc. i have put my suggestion and best will be to email the respective country canadian VO about this to find the recent scenerio.is that updated though? its posted in 2010... 7 years is a long time
this is my understanding:
POF before landing:
VO is concern whether the applicant have the required fund or not and does the fund solely belongs to them, not borrowed. They ask us to provide the bank letter, bank statement to prove that and they investigate.
POF after landing:
IO is concern whether we can bring the required fund to canada 0r not. Because canadian government doesn't provide any financial help to applicant to settle, except refugee applicant. It is not possible to withdraw money from the home country bank sitting in Canada (country specific regulation applies), unless the funds are with a bank which have a presence in canada (ATM withdrawal) OR have a travel money card from your the local bank, bank statement will be accepted; the fund can be in local currency.
In short, Immigration officer wants to see whether how easily you can have access to the fund.
Quoted from CIC website:
How much money you should bring
Research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.
Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier. Canadian customs regulations require you to declare if you're bringing more than CAN$10,000 into Canada. If you don't tell them, you may be fined, and your funds could be seized. This includes:

I just called the IRCC and the agent told me that POF is not required at landing. She send me the list of docs to carry. Basically just passport and COPR.

it is confusing. What the agent said and what people actually face contradicts.
i have asked a person who recently landed in canada. Will update you guys when I hear from him.
