It's not the proof of fund you need to declare. Proof of fund can be in the form of bank statements. It's the actual fund the traveler or group of travelers are bringing at landing (if equal or greater than $10,000).
I apologize I was not clear. I actually meant the amount you carry with you when you land. Is the 10,000 CAD per person or for the entire family? For a family of 3 I had to show a POF of 18,500 CAD. Do I have to show this amount when I land? Or can I just do a bank transfer later?

If you are bringing this much in form of cash or other monetary instruments, then you must show and declare. Failing to do so, might be subject to seizure and fines.

Thank you. I am probably carry 1000 CAD in cash with another 5000 CAD in a forex card. Rest I will carry bank statements to prove sufficient funds. I hope just showing monthly bank statements will suffice.

Jobs:
1. How to approach jobs in Canada since i have to pass licensing exams my degrees not being fully recognized?
2. Does winter season make it tough to get odd jobs around?
3. contacting agents is better or searching for wanted posters better for jobs?

2) Depends what your definition is: For example, your next door neighbor hires you for snow removal.

Hello friends,
I am a registered nurse and midwife from Nigeria (3 years diploma in nursing and 18 months midwifery program).
Received visas and COPR two months ago and am planning to start my NNAS application soon.
My family and i are planning to migrate to Canada early next year and live in Alberta.my questions-

I plan to apply for LPN and RN in Alberta,is this ok and what are my chances as a nurse/midwife with 5 years of experience that lasted up to July last year?
Will NNAS process my application without IELTS?if yes at what stage will CARNA request for IELTS?
To be honest with you all i can say is that we will be landing in Alberta, i am really confused as to what province to choose for my application,please can you advice as to any province that processes application fast and does not give much trouble?

Your advise and experiences will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,

About PROOF OF FUNDS, I am going to carry along bank statements from ICICI bank(India). Should that be okay as a POF at landing?
What amount of Cash, if necessary, should be carried along?

If bank statements aren't good, what could be an alternative? I want to avoid carrying cash.

I landed a few days ago in Toronto and I had carried my bank statements (alongwith mutual fund statements) as POF. But nobody asked me about POF. It was quite smooth actually.
I carried 1000 CAD for any incidental expenses and 3000CAD in a travel forex card for convenience. your requirements will vary depending on where you intend to live, rent and expenses you are planning to incur.

I also landed at Toronto last week and no questions about money whatsoever were asked to me. I worried about this too much prior to landing and was carrying a lot of bank statements and cash. Many of my friends had similar experience as me and I am yet to know about someone who was denied entry for proof of funds at landing. So I suggest people here not to worry about POF that much. One of my friends landed with 100 CAD and made it. So in spite of what is being told on this forum, please take a chill pill and land without worrying much. The border agents are more concerned that we are taking more than 10,000 CAD than that we are not taking enough money with us.

Hi all,
I (primary applicant) and my wife were planning to do short landing this month through the Ambassador Bridge. But my wife is having some pregnancy complications so she won't be able to come with me. Can she land later? What are the possible scenarios in this case?
(We are expecting our baby by the end of January and our visa expires in February. Not enough time to get ready for landing after the birth of our child)
Thank you

WHEN SHOULD WE 'LAND':
After getting the PR visa, we are supposed to complete our 'record of landing', on or before the Visa Expiry Date [mentioned on the visa]. The visa Expiry Date is related to EITHER*:
a) 1yr. from the meds, or
b) Passport expiry date of the PA or anyone of his/her accompanying Dependents
*Whichever of the above 2 is earlier.
QORAX
I visited physician on APR 6th 2017 but my visit date is blank on my med exam, however it says that results were transmitted to CIC on APR 13th 2017. My COPR expires on APR 13 2018 that's one year from the date meds were transmitted to CIC. In this case is my med date APR 13 2017 or APR 6th 2017. COPR document was accompanied with additional information which only states that applicant (myself) should enter on or before COPR document expires APR 13 2018 but there's no mention of meds expiration date.

Disclaimer: I am not planning to wait until last day to land in Canada, however, there are a few things to wrap up before I do so and it would be wise of me to know what exactly is the expirate date.
