issue of proof of funds

I was wondering if someone could help me clear up some questions about the issue of proof of funds. I've sent in my application (skilled worker class) and received AOR last year. My application included my proof of funds in the form of a bank statement. I was under the impression that the only other time I need to show proof of funds is to a customs officer if and when I finally land in Canada. But I've read on this board that some people were contacted by CIC and asked to produce bank statements for the previous 12 months. So my question is: is everyone required to do this, and if so, at what point? Does it depend on where you applied? Do you only have to show proof of funds if you're called in for an interview? Or do they ask for it again as a condition of your approval?

Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

In my case, CIC-MANILA, requested us to submit proof of funds ( which is the bank statement ) when they asked us to submit full application. We were given 120 days to produce the required documents which includes the bank statement and others.
Once you land in Canada, Immigration officer will aski for your proof of funds, others are saying that it was looked upon by the officer, others are saying it was inspected by the officer. But to be on the safe side, make sure you have the needed amount in hand when you land in canada.
