Do I have to show that much money in my account to enter Canada as well.. or is it just the paperwork and the approvals that matter?
You'll need to show a bank balance with that amount when you submit your application and may also be asked to prove you still have the funds when you enter Canada to become permanent residents.
You'll also need some or possibly all of these funds to live (i.e. pay for housing, food, etc.) when you first arrive in Canada.
No. You still have to show that you meet the required funds. Your US citizenship is irrelevant.
Do you know how long maybe like an estimate of how long it will take for the whole process? Or how much it would cost?
Proof of funds needed depending on your family size: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/proof-funds.html
Express Entry fees: $1040 for you and $1040 for your common law (if applicable) plus $150 for each of your dependents. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp
Other than that also consider fees for medicals and police certificates.
Reading through this post I think you are inquiring about finances required to Enter Canada in case your boyfriend gets to Canada. Then no, financial requirements are required for you to visit Canada as an US Citizen visiting Canada.
You you are inquiring about you applying for Canadian PR to migrate, then yes you require funds as indicated by others. US Citizens also require same proof of funds as others.
Now here are my two cents but before I start I want to inform that this is not a legal advice but just a suggestion from a fellow PR applicant. First thing is to apply for Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). Your bf needs to send his fingerprint along with payment to FBI. (https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks). Note this does not have any negative implications against him. FBI only provides details on existing records if any in their system against him. (This will be one of the documents he will require to get if he is applying for PR anyway). If the FBI report has his felony/arrest/fight and deportation details then follow the rehabilitation way suggest by other. If the report is clear, and it can be since deportation is an immigration offence and may not show up in FBI PCC. (Note you still have to disclose the deportation and other charges in appropriate places in the application. Not disclosing relevant info will bar him from Canada for 5 years). If the FBI report is clean he could apply for PR assuming he meets all other criteria (education evaluation, language requirement, work experience for 1 year or more in a NOC 0, A, B skill type and meets the CRS score to receive an ITA).
**Also suggest you to consult an immigration lawyer for your case.
I have ful custody of my oldest daughter will this affect me in any way to get her paperwork settled for Canada?
Just my opinion....figure out if you're even eligible for Express Entry before wading into the specifics. Go to this website and read what is required https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html. You're asking many situational questions that might require a lawyer.
