Just a couple of questions,

I have a welcome letter into the working holiday program and understand I need to provide proof of health insurance which I have as well as funds in order to be granted the working holiday permit when I arrive.

I can't find anything that specifies the amount of funds I need to have available to me, anyone have any ideas? Or any experience with having this checked on arrival?

In addition, I am currently waiting to hear re my residency through family class application. I disclosed this when I applied for the working holiday and was accepted into the program regardless. My question really relates to whether I should disclose this when I arrive. For example, if I am asked about where I intend to stay etc - I intend to live with my spouse. Thoughts from anyone about this would be much appreciated. My plan is to intially arrive under the working holiday category and then all going well exit over the US boarder and land as a resident once I'm approved all going well.

Thanks for your help
