Proof of Funds when landing - PR
Hello,
I plan to land in Toronto in March and i was just wondering, do i need to show the immigration officer at the border my bank details and do i have to have a certain amount in my bank before i get let into Canada and have my PR confirmed?
I can't see anything about an exact figure i should have in my bank, just worrying incase i won't have enough!
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies, i just presumed no proof of funds were needed when actually completing and submitting my PR application, as i am CEC when i get to the border i won't need to show anything? Will it say CEC on my Confirmation of Permanent Residence letter?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

I have been seeing on other Forums that i need to show at least $12,300 in my bank when i land in Canada, even if i applied through CEC do i still need to show this much funds?

If you're still worried, then just take a copy of the website pages with you.
Although of course, the proof of funds amount is for those to set up life in Canada with, and is quite a bit lower than most actually spend, so worthwhile trying to take that amount as a minimum anyway as you're not already working in Canada........

Re: Proof of Funds when landing - PR
Thanks for replying! I am worried that if i don't have the minimum funds they are looking for ($12,300) then i could get rejected and not given my PR? Do you think this will happen? I plan on taking as much with me as i can but worried incase i don't have that exact minimum in my account! Thanks

If you were applying under FSW, or FST, then the $12,300 amount would apply to you, but it has no relevance to your application at all, as per the links above.
