Hey guys,
I'm moving to Toronto in a few weeks on the IEC, and I've got a few questions about money. Obviously, I need 3000 minimum, I've got 7 in my account. Do I need any special paperwork from my bank? I didn't get anything for them to sign during my application process and the bank hadn't received anything from anyone already gone out. I'm going over with approx. 3000 CND in a mix of sterling, euro and CND (mostly CND), and I've got a bank draft for an additional 2000 CND, do I need to declare that at the airport or what? I've got internet banking so I can access my home account, because I don't want to bring over the whole lot in one go. Should I bring over the whole lot in one go? What do I need to show the emigration guys?
I'm from Ireland, dunno if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

You can bring money into Canada in different forms. When you arrive, you must tell a border official if you are carrying more than C$10,000.

CAD, the currency is CAD 
when I landed with my IEC LOI I wasn't even asked for evidence of funds but I just took a bank statement I got from the bank the day before I left.
