Documents needed on arrival

[Shani19]

Hello guys

Can you please tell me what questions does the immigration officer asks at the airport and what documents do I need to show them? Also will I need to show them all the bank statements? Because I gave them to CIC when I was applying for visa. I'll now need to ask for them again from the bank as I didn't made any copy. :/

I'm confused about this part as well.. Are we supposed to show bank statements of the sponsor again or what.

Nope, They rarely ask any questions. One you get to the immigration counter, You'll be asked to wait in a queue with a bunch of other new students. You guys will be taken to a waiting room with a lot of interview cubicles on the side. He'll just ask you a few simple questions regarding your stay and then he'll print out your study permit. It'll just take 10 minutes.

Well I was asked to show proof of financial when I was there and I have already opened up a Canadian Bank account and gotten statements from them before I entered Canada so it wasn't a problem for me to not show them.

How much did you show? I thought I'd open a bank account there after landing and carry sufficient cash until then, and just show my sponsors bank statements

Then again I can't even carry too much cash because apparently I could be fined otherwise

So are supposed to show all the bank statements again?

Well I had paid of my tuition for one year so I showed that receipt and had $35000 Cad in my account as living expense and I didn't carry any cash at the time.
