no, not in my case.
Is he/she inland or outland applicant?
in generell its very unlikely to be asked that, for inland applicants. Proof of settlement funds is requesred from most outland applicants.
for inland applicants, it only matters if they have applied inland, but then moved to another country. So are in fact now outland applicants. But those cases are very rare anyway.
Another thing is, if the PA is inland, but included dependeds as outland applicants.
basicly every time, someone intends to COME to canada as a permanent resident, they are required to provide proof of their settlement funds. Inland applicants are usualy looked at as already settled into the country. But they often need to provide payslips or updated work contracts and so on. To show, that the conditions are still valid.
