Hi Guys,
I have a query, As per the 'Contract respecting financial self sufficiency' that we signed when applying for the CSQ, we committed to bringing a minimum amount of Canadian funds into the country to support our first 3 months of stay there. When I applied in 2011 it was CAD2800 for a single person, now I understand it has increased to CAD3016 for a single person.
Is this the minimum amount that I can show at Montreal Airport when I land? because I came across some information on the cic website below about proof of funds for Skilled immigrants which specifies about CAD11,931 for a single person. Is this applicable for all applicants including QSW applicants or only for Express entry Federal selected workers?
I heard that the Immigration officers in Canada sometimes check to see if Immigrants bring in sufficient funds and I'm asking this question because I don't want any nasty surprises when facing Canadian immigration officers. :
