Got job Offer!!! Do I have to show POF at airport?

Your agent is wrong. You applied under the FSW program WITHOUT an AEO. As such, you are required to present POF upon landing. True, the purpose of the funds is for you to survive on your own and that if you have a job, then you're secured already BUT that doesn't mean you're off the hook of the required POF. You're talking of practicality. Immigration officers look at technicality. Unless you have an AEO, technically you are required the POF. That is all that matters to them.

You've gone this far to risk everything. I suggest you go get that money and bring it with you when you land. You can repay the institution once you've completed your formalities.

Actually, no he can't do that. It's fraud if he does.

Settlement funds cannot be borrowed. If you borrow money you are giving a false representation to CIC about your finances.

His only legitimate choice is now to save hard so he genuinely owns the funds prior to landing.

But I agree he should bring proof of these when he lands, else he risks being turned away (and as explained if not from a visitor-visa exempt country, he can't even enter Canada).

Hi

As it appears you applied as a FSW1 without arranged employment. Then you have to show proof of funds on landing.

Dear PMM,
Can you please suggest me if i can show my earlier FD which i showed during my initial application time as Proof of Funds? If not also is it possible to borrow the required amount of funds from my uncle who is ready to lend money for 1-month's time and i can buy some travelers cheque and show that as proof of funds etc.. Also advice me what all way i can show proof of funds?
Very much appreciate your early response.
Thanks & Regards,
FD

As per my understanding you have applied under FSW1 but got job offer at later stage,Then:
1. you have to carry Settlement funds with you at point of entry, BSO official may or may not check your funds but if you are not carrying required funds with you,Then BSO can deny you entry.
2. Funds can be in Cash/TC/Draft or any Canadian Bank Statement of a/c in short it has to be in liquid form,FD's from your local bank are not acceptable.
3. Taking a loan and showing it as settlement funds is an absolutely your call,If you are confident and believe you can settle without any money of your own its entirely up to you,But its advisable and necessary by Law to have your own money for settlement.

No, you can't borrow the money.

Not from a company. Not from your uncle. Not from Santa Claus.

You MUST OWN THE FUNDS.

Why do so many people believe this rule doesn't apply to them?


Start saving, dude...

Well yes taking a loan is breaking the law and rolling the dice. If he decides to do this, he risks not only his currently application being forfeit, but he may be inadmissable to reapply for a number of years to follow.

With CIC it's never worth it. I still don't understand why he doesn't have the funds he originally used when he sent the supporting documents?
