Proof of 'Landing Funds" >>>

[Iim]

I am already in Quebec and have been since late 2010 and I have a steady decent paying job, will I still have to show that I have 11k in my bank?

 

[pk2ca]

Dear members,

I am landing in Canada in August. We are a family of three so I will carry 8K CAD in cash and rest as bank statement (I know it is unadvisable but I have my reasons). The question is shall I declare that I am bringing more than 10,000 CAD or not because technically, I'd have less than 10K with me.

Secondly, my wife will join me later after month or two. If she is carrying less thank 10K CAD also, does we have to declare/mention it somewhere ?

Thanks

anyone ?

 

[scorpion_ca]

You don't need to declare if you carry less than $10k.

anyone ?

 

[pk2ca]

You don't need to declare if you carry less than $10k.

Thanks for your reply. But I'll eventually move funds to my Canadian account afterwards. Will that cause any problem ?

Proof of 'Landing' Funds:
-Do we take the Bank Statement or otherwise ?

How Much needed to Show at the Airport/POE :
No. of Pax ........... Funds Reqd-CAD
1 ....................... $11,086
2 ....................... $13,801
3 ....................... $16,967
4 ....................... $20,599
5 ....................... $23,364
6 ....................... $26,350
7 or more ........... $29,337

Is it necessary to carry the P.O.F. while 'Landing' ?
100%. A part of the 'Record of Landing' "Interview" is to ensure 'sustainability' in Canada by the applicant. The IO must ensure that you carry enough funds [based on LICO] which will help you settle easily, w/out any burden on Canadian Social Services. Remember, except for 'refugees' under the Refugees Protection Act, Canada doesn't offer financial assistance for any other categories of applicants.

Irrespective of the no. of family members performing the 1st landing, the entire POF [as per the chart above] must be shown to the IO at the POE. Subsequent 'landings' by the 'accompanying dependents' do not need to show the POF.

That means, whether the PA alone or one or more of his family members are 'landing' for the 1st time, the above funds are required. It's another matter whether the IO at the POE doesn't ask for it [very often that happens]. But, w/out the POF our entry can be 'Denied'.

Bank Statement/s as POF:
This issue has been dealt in detail [recurs frequently] here. The fact remains that we will actually need those monies once we land. Under avg, & usual circumstances -the POF described by the CIC is a necessity to survive in Canada, w/out a job, for approx. 6 months. Thus, in all earnestness we 'must' carry the 'landing funds' in a 'liquid' format* -easily accessible anytime upon landing.

Now, not all Bank Statements would be acceptable for 'landing'. There are instances when a Bank Statement was negated and the applicant was denied entry. I learnt it from the various forums & listening to the experiences of some families in Canada. Most 3rd world bank's statements will not be acceptable. Some examples were given, but I refrain to put-it-up here.

However, the statement/s of banks from UK, US, Norway, ANZ etc. were accepted in quite a few cases [I know of one personally]. Also, statement/s of International Banks [having a presence in Canada] were acceptable, viz. HSBC, Stanchart, RBC etc. But again, one case stated that their Citibank Statement was not accepted.

Now, here's a dichotomy. Our landing is supposed to be one of the most beautiful experiences of our lifetime. We have given our entirety to this process, didn't we? Something we had been looking forward to -for quite sometime now. What if a particular IO refuses to accept our bank statement?

Well, we have learnt that many of the bank's statement they do accept, but what if? And then, would we be running around towards all the possible hierarchy in the CBSA at the POE for a solution -which might come by, for sure? But won't that mar the thrills of our 'long-awaited-anticipated' first-foot into the Canadian soil? Do we take that chance? Is it that important to carry the bank statement than expect to come-out of the airport, with the family & kids, in 30-45 minutes, smoothly?

*I recommend carrying them in 1)Some Cash, 2)TCs & 3)a Bank Draft [it takes about 30+ days to encash that]. -all the 3 formats [only], No Bank Statement/s.

Note: Also to reiterate that all Immigration Consultants will tell you to carry 'only' one or more of the 3 above. They wouldn't advice you to take a bank statement, why? -Check-it out with some of them.

I hope that helped...

There will be a separate counter for new emigrant passport control. They asked how much cash I had with me and and if any food stuff I brought to Canada. I had 1000 CAD. I will tell you why I carried only 1000 CAD.

NOBODY ASKED ABOUT PROOF OF FUND. They said they don't ask about it anymore.

.

HI, i am travelling this week and would like to know few things that i have quoted.

Firstly ,

There will be a separate counter for new emigrant passport control. They asked how much cash I had with me and and if any food stuff I brought to Canada. I had 1000 CAD. I will tell you why I carried only 1000 CAD.

NOBODY ASKED ABOUT PROOF OF FUND. They said they don't ask about it anymore.

--->

I have applied with my wife and now i am traveling alone so I would like to know if i could bring less amount of money than was depicted on the CIC website which for two is CAD $ 13837. Is it possible that i could bring less amount like CAD $ 6000 and later ask my wife to bring it along when she travels?


Secondly,

Then you collect your baggage. carry some coins with you if you can, because the luggage trolley cost 2 $ each. After collecting the baggage, go to customs. there you have to give the list of things you carrying now, and list of things you will bring later ( 2 copies each). If you intended to bring gold ornaments later, please do carry some photographs of those with you. Make sure the customs officer stamp and give you one copy of your list back to you. Keep them safe

---

IS there any examples to follow in this case . what would be case if my wife would be following later Do i need to prepare the list of her also and what about the jwellery item.

What does it mean by goods Accompained by you ( Does this include a 2 luggage as in this case of mine and hand carry) ?
What does it mean by another Good To Follow ( Is this the item my wife would be carrying)?

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanks for your reply. But I'll eventually move funds to my Canadian account afterwards. Will that cause any problem ?

Hi Buddy, I am afraid for a Bid NO.
They would like u to show actual funds at POE and later option wont be open then.
So plan

the banks would not disclose your details for visa purposes as client account details are confidential.....only in severe situations such as criminal investigations...etc

Hi qorax,

plz inform whether submitting as POF alongwith the medicals, is it okay to submit evaluation of property in own/ spouse name as proof of funds. Though not in liquid form but if someone intends to sale off when one finally gets visa, it is a source of fund...plz throw some light.
