Please give your expert advice on the same.

Please guide me again...

In my case, i m the Primary Applicant and my wife is the co applicant. POF required is $13800 for both of us.

I am planning to come alone first and call my iwfe after 5-6 mnths after settling here. So, how much shud I bring $11000 as it is POF required for single applicant.
and my wife will bring balance.
vikas

 

[omm]

You have to Carry POF $13800 for landing procedure.
your wife can come later like after somedays or month doesn't matter but she can not land before you.
So, you must have to Carry POF for 2 applicants: You (primary) + for your wife (second applicant).

OMM has advised correctly...
It is the prerogative of the PA to 'land' first if not alongwith his dependents AND s/he ought to demonstrate the 'complete' settlement funds for the entire family while entering Canada for the 1st time. Subsequent entries by the PA or his/her family members do not require to demonstrate the POF.

At the POE no body will ask you to have this specific amount of money, they will ask you how much you carry and write that on your COPR, nothing more. No ne single proof that the officer must confirm that you have the specific POF, this is the VO's job. With respect to all the seniors I read the dox related to this matter from CIC official website, and nothing like what these ppl is talking about, and this is what happened with me, i held less than 25% of the required amount and I am in and OK even in the CHC letter included with the stamped passport no mention about the money issue, so if its that serious why CHC wont include that to the instructions and requirements before travelling.


If anybody was denied entry because of this issue, pls respond.


Take care.

That's the risk and depend on officer @ POE . it's not advisible to bring less money than requiered by CIC POF.

Arriving At Canada
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/arriving.asp

When you arrive in Canada, you will be greeted by an officer from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The officer will ask to see your passport and other travel documents...

You must present the following documents upon your arrival:

-Your valid passport and/or travel documents. Your passport must be a regular, private passport. You cannot immigrate to Canada with a diplomatic, government service or public affairs passport.

-Your valid permanent resident visa, and your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). The officer will make sure you are entering Canada before or on the expiry date shown on your permanent resident visa. Please note that this document cannot be extended, therefore you should make sure to use it before it expires.

-Proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada.

The officer will ask you a few questions to confirm that you still meet the requirements to immigrate to Canada. They will be similar to the ones you answered on your application for permanent residence. This should only take a few minutes.

You will not be allowed into Canada if you give false or incomplete information, or if you do not satisfy the officer that you meet the requirements for entry into Canada.

If there are no problems at the point of entry, the officer will authorize you to enter Canada as a permanent resident. The officer will also confirm your Canadian mailing address. Your permanent resident card will be mailed to you at this address.

1. What did u mention as POF in your application?
2. Why the POF requirement is there?
3. Why did CIC specify the POF?
4. What do they mean by "meet the requirement for entry"?

Qorax,

Any specualtion what does suffecient fund mean ? Does it mention any where/any relation to carry these specific amount (no one $ less) to the POF we are talking about? Of course NO.

Sir, for some countries where I am from, I cant take that cash out with me neither can I make a money transfer up to that level to Canada, and no travelor cheques to Canada. That means according to your speculations immigrants like me cant get into Canada.

Thanks.

No speculations. Just check OP6:
at time of publication the required funds are equal to or
greater than the amount listed below for each family size:
Number of family members Funds required
1 $11,086
2 $13,801
3 $16,967
4 $20,599
5 $ 23,364
6 $ 26,350
7 or more $ 29,337

Dear Qorax.
I am from Philipines. My query is regarding my proof of funds. I already have my PR visa and I intend to land in Saskatoon in March 2012. When I applied for my visa, I presented my bank certificate with a peso account which is equivalent to 14,000 USD. Since I can't carry the money in peso, I opened a US dollar account in the same bank so I can withdraw US notes later. The money I will use to buy dollars from the market is from the peso account that I used during application. The bank offers a lower exchange rate compared outside. As far as I know we need to secure an updated bank certificate to the IO when we land. My questions are:
1. Can I present to the IO in Canada a new certificate using my dollar account? Or should it be the peso account I used during the application?
2. My problem is if I use the peso account, I should buy the dollars at the same bank which has a lower rate. Do you have any suggestions regarding my problem?
3. If I maintain the $11,115 requirement in my account how many % should I bring & leave?

Thank you so much!

Best Regards,
