PMM - please help - checklist and Proof of funds

[rb.emailme]

Hi,
Can you please help with following:
- We are planning to land (2 + toddler) via rd so in terms of proof of funds do we have to necessarily carry cash ? Would it be sufficient to have like 500-1000 $ in cash and rest in bank statements ?
- Is there a checklist of documents that are needed during the landing.. ?

Thanks in advance.

1.  Bank statements are fine.
2.  You will need the passports, with the COPR, proof of funds, list of goods accompanying and goods to follow, If you intend to import your car, see www.riv.ca and http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/export_docs/motor_vehicle.xml for exporting your car from the US.  You don't need it at "landing" but you should have children's immunization records as in most cases you will need them when registering them for school.  Depending on the province you are heading to, you should get a letter from your Car Insurance Company as to the number of claim free years, as it will lower your costs for insurance.  For example 7 years of claim free driving will save you 45% of basic insurance.

Can we also proof the funds with a Bank Money Order?  If so do you know if the normal money order from the bank can be used to open and account over there? The money order will be on American Dollars.

Thank you!  :-D

Yes, it can be done, but it may take up to 30 days for the Canadian bank to clear it.
