Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
When you get to immigration they will ask you about your funds but not everyone has had to provide proof (we didn't) however to be on the safe side I'd take your recent mortgage statement, you don't need anything from your estate agent or mortgage provider...have you done your goods to follow list?

Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
Hi All
Not been on here for ages Ive been so busy sorting out the house etc and trying to sell it without luck so far
and I must say Im starting to panic alot about it.
Our original plan was to move out this year we put the house on market last oct but due to a really bad couple we rented to the house didnt get a very good reaction for the first few months
. They moved out and I now have a friend living there but the house price has gone down so much we thought we would delay our move till next year and just activate our visa's as the money from the house is just enough for settlement funds now . its now nearly june and still not sold, Im worrying that we probably only have another 6-8 wk to get an offer and proceed with the sale as we need to land b4 the 2nd oct 2010. does anyone have any ideas as to what we could do. I need another view point.
Im hoping that Im just having a panic and the perfect buyer will turn up next week

Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
This is the info direct from CIC website re what to bring on landing as a provincial nominee
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra...l/arriving.asp
It does state on one hand that you have to provide the proof of settlement funds as part of the application process which obviously you are through now, but it does also state that you have the appropriate proof of sufficient funds to support yourself
You must present the following documents upon your arrival:
* Your valid passport and/or travel documents. Your passport must be a regular, private passport. You cannot immigrate to Canada with a diplomatic, government service or public affairs passport.
* Your valid permanent resident visa, and your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). The officer will make sure that you are entering Canada before or on the expiry date shown on your permanent resident visa. Please note that this document cannot be extended. Make sure to use it before it expires.
* Proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada. You can find more information under Proof of funds in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If asked for sufficient proof by an officer, I have always been led to believe that this should be available funds that you can actually use to settle, as I mentioned before most people seemed to be asked how much cash they actually have on them to satisfy the $10,000 part where you are supposed to fill in a declaration and most people have not been asked to show their actual settlement funds again, however if you were asked I am not 100% certain that a mortgage statement/estate agent valuations would be sufficient.
sorry dont want to be a downer, just wanted to let you know the info that is published by CIC.

A mortgage statement/valuation is accepted as proof of funds if you've not sold your house but in the process of doing so.

Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
If you haven't sold your house and returning to do so then you can't possibly provide proof of funds till the house is sold. Our house was still on the market at the time of landing and we had no problems what so ever...we did have settlements funds set aside but were never asked to prove they were accessible either.
The fact is that the rules say that you should have proof of funds and that the funds must be unencumbered which means either cash or money in a bank account. The immigration guy may well probably apply a more liberal interpretation and either not ask or accept equity as proof, however nobody can guarantee that for the OP. And the OP landing in such circumstances is taking a risk.

Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
It can be misleading to other posters to state though that you will be fine with a mortgage statement etc

Re: house not sold yet starting to panic
There's nothing misleading about it...you DON'T need proof of "ready" cash when you land...FACT!! do you honestly think they are gonna refuse her entry if she hasn't got over $10,000 readily available to spend when landing?? No!! it doesn't work like that, as long as she can prove her world wide assets fall into the settlement funds required she'll be fine.
