Default Proof of Funds when Landing

When we land most of our money will have been transferred to our canadian bank account.

Will proof of funds from this account suffice or does it have to be from a UK account?

Or will a letter showing how much was transferred via a currency broker suffice?

Any of the above. But I've never heard of anyone actually being asked to provide proof of any description.

When I landed at Vancouver on the 20th, the Immigration officer only wanted to know how much cash I had on me and didn't want to see the print outs of my various bank balances.

BTW my funds were in Canadian bank accounts

We took the paperwork which showed the international money transfer, and our bank statements.

They only looked at the money transfer stuff! Literally a quick glance to see we had organised money at hand and that was it!

We landed in July and the officer asked how much we had, we told them and went to get proof from our folder but she wasn't interested. (We had statements from our Canadian bank a/c)

I think we could have said millions and she wouldn't have batted an eyelid or asked for proof.

If you are asked, what you have will be fine.

Good luck
