Hi Friends,
I have a question. Do we need to show some minimum amount of funds while landing at Canada? if yes, what's the amount?
Do they also want to see the proof of funds that we had shown while while applying for Express entry?
My wife & I, had submitted our passports at the local VFS office in Mumbai, on 8th of Sept'16. We are yet to receive any notification. I guess, they will take 8-10 working days to process the same. Am I right?
Regards,

You need to be prepared to demonstrate the minimum amount necessary upon landing- the exact amount is dependent on how many family members are immigrating into Canada. You can check the exact amount here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
You do not need to demonstrate that you have all of this money in your possession upon landing- just that they are readily accessible to you in a liquid form for as soon as you may need them. Thus, for instance, you can have $5000 CAD on you when you land, with an additional $11000 CAD in your bank account back home, and use the statement from that bank to demonstrate the existence of that money.
Finally, as for passports, you can refer to this thread, where we are all sharing our post PPR passport submission timelines. It seems as though everyone who submitted on 7 September or beyond is still waiting for their passport to be returned.
