Confused about your question.
If you ask about bribe then; :eek:
I never heard any one saying that.
The Immigration ? (Officers) are well paid from the Govt. and I don't think they expect any bribe or pocket money (?) from landing immigrants.

@wilson,
Sorry for making you confused. What i mean is if the immigration personnel requires immigrant to bring some amount of money to be able to enter in Canada. Or even if someone did not bring money or cash like cases of Family Sponsorship wherein the sponsor is in Canada and only the dependents travel by themselves therefore they will not need to bring money because their sponsor will handle all the expenses after they arrived in Canada.

LOL! It is OK jopok, now it is clear what do you mean.

Being a family class immigrant you don't need to prove any funds to the Immigration Officer at the airport when you arrive. No one will ask about the money but in case you have funds with you exceeding CAD 10,000/- ( I guess you may not!! ) then you have to declare it. Please note that your sponsor has made an undertaking about your expenses. However, you can work and earn money according to your ability.
