Funds Required while Landing for the first time as PR under CEC

[lucky_CA]

Fund is not an official requirement for obtaining PR under CEC. However, during landing the VO might be interested to see if you have initial finances to support yourself and your dependents just after landing in Canada. If someone has a job offer that will be great. If you don't have a job offer than it is safer to show them some fund (it need not to be $13000), only if asked, which you will have to support yourself and your family for few months right after landing.

However, they may or may not ask for it.

What if we dont have an arranged employment???

This is a CEC forum, which means you already have Canadian experience,and if you were offered a PR, an arranged employment is not relevant.
I don't know the funds requirement for other classes.

Hello Members

I have applied for PR under CEC. Now planning to leave Canada and return when I get my PR. That means I will be out of Canada for about a year.

Does anybody have idea on how much funds is required when we enter Canada for the first time after getting the PR for a family of 3?

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Regards.

Hi Friends,

I have got invitation from CIC. I have some questions in filling the application:

1. How much money you bring to Canada:
1. Is it acceptable to show balance from primary and dependent account separately to CIC (and upload as same document)?, since we don't have common account and my individual bank balance is less than specified($15000).
2. Also when filling application I have mentioned $25000. If I change this to $15000 whether it will get any impact?

2. Travel history:
"Provide details of any trips <Applicant_NAME> has taken outside his/her country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since his/her 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc.
You can tell us about each trip by filling in the fields below. "

I am an Indian and lives in Canada since last two years. I have never been travelled to any other country.
Whether I need to choose "Yes" or "No" for this question?.


Thanks!

Hello,

If ever one has to show the proof of funds, does a bank statement from a bank other than Canadian Bank is acceptable? Or the funds should be shown as CAD$ only?

Unless you are currently authorized to work in Canada and have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada, or you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, you must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada.

Emphasis mine.

If you got CEC PR or you have a job offer you don't need proof of funds.
