During the initial landing, is it okay to just bring CAD 10,000 in cash and show the rest of the funds as an updated bank statement/bank passbook?

Very very right there Nilsej. Thanks for that link, buddy.

Hi, the CIC site itself advises for the following methods of carrying our 'Landing Funds':
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

Quote/
How much money should you bring?
Find out how much it costs to live where you are planning to settle in Canada. Bring as much money as possible to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier.

Disclosure of funds
If you are carrying more than C$10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:
• Cash
• Securities in bearer form* (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills) or
• Negotiable instruments in bearer form (for eg, bank drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).
/Unquote

*That 'securities in bearer form' though do not directly specify a Bank Statement, yet an 'Original' Bank Statement fulfills that purpose.

Regards,
Qorax.
