Hi,

For your PR to be validated at POE, you have to carry the POF....mandatory requirement.

You can carry 7500 cash and rest in BD. You could also have the whole amount in BD....you may want to keep some cash to run for a month ( 3000Cad).

Dear friends,
according to previous posts about carrying more than $10000 to Canada, the CBSA insist that bringing more than $10000 to Canada is not restricted nor illegal:

"Under the legislation, there are no restrictions on the amount of money that you can bring into or take out of Canada, nor is it illegal to do so. However, you now have to report to a border services officer amounts equal to or greater than CAN$10,000, or its equivalent in a foreign currency that you are bringing into or taking out of Canada"

Hi,

What is your nationality? I would like to double check/confirm the information that you have regarding carrying money.

You are immigrating to a NEW COUNTRY and certainly Cad 7500 is not enough. There is a reason for CIC to have a minimum POF requirement. There may be restrictions in the home country and you may have to declare in your home country as well but I am sure there is a way to bring more money.

If there is absolute no way of getting the money then you can open a Scotia Bank account here in Canada from your homecountry and wire the money. Is there an embargo on wiring money too?

Yes you can do that. There is no problem with that. Your country imposes restrictions on carrying cash but not on bank draft so you are safe. Feel free to carry 7500 in cash and rest in bank draft.

@ Mitali

Please don't confuse the applicants. I believe you have misunderstood him. He is ok if he carries $7500 in cash and rest in bank draft. What and why you want to check from his country. What you have suggested above is he can carry the whole amount in bank draft but he needs 3000 CAD in cash is totally out of the way. Whats the point of telling him to do that when he has already planned to carry 7500 in cash and rest in bank draft. Please first understand and then answer.

Hi wxyz123,

1. IMO, the OP is merely stating his situation and requesting help/advice.
2. He has stated 2 times that he cannot carry more than 7500 Cash+BD. If he could carry the rest of the amount (apart from cash) in BD then the question would not have not existed.
3. If you see my 1st response, I have suggested exactly what you have suggested - " You can carry 7500 in cash and rest in bank draft".
4. My intention was to give another way of carrying his POF, not to derail his plans. Carrying less cash is preferable.
5. Why I asked for Nationality? The answer to that is - I would like to educate myself and increase my knowledge. I dont think that is wrong. No offence intended.

I repeat 7500 limit is to carry cash and the rest you can carry as bank draft.

other option for you is carry 7500 in cash and rest in the form of bank statement from a Nepali bank. That would be acceptable at POE in Canada.

every time bank issues a bank draft or exchanges cad they print and stamp on the passport with the amount issued or exchanged. If I go to any other bank they first see the passport and once they see the amount is close to the limit or already limited.. thats it.. they don't issue new drafts and cash.. THEY SAY YOU ARE LIMITED.. OR YOU ALREADY HAVE $7500, WE CANNOT ISSUE MORE DRAFTS... so currently I am finding no way out to take more than $7500

thanks

Man just carry 7500 in cash and rest in the form of bank statement from a nepali bank. you will be all right at POE in canada. Nobody would stop you carrying a bank statement.

they do accept man. I have seen people on this forum who produced statements at POE and were accepted. You can start a new thread if you want a proof
