Dear members of this forum,
Hope everyone is well!
I am planning to land in the first week of May 2022, but I have a few questions. I would appreciate if you could help to clear them up.
1 - How much of proof of funds shall I carry with me? Is 20k $ would be enough for 1 person? Can I show the latest bank statement as my proof of funds?
2 - My initially indicated city of destination is Winnipeg, however I will be landing in Toronto. Is it possible if I spend a few days in Toronto before I move to Winnipeg?
Thank you for your help!

Hey man,
1-I wouldn't recommend carrying 20k$ cash on you. Just carry around 2k and show a recent bank statement for the rest.
2-If you are FSW, you have right to land or live wherever you desire except Quebec. Your landing city means nothing. If you are PNP, you can land in another province but you need to move to the province that has nominated you and try everything in your power to start a life there. (or it may cause problems with IRCC in the future. Especially at the citizenship stage)
Mine expires in Jan of 2023. Hopefully, IRCC won't drag my app till then.
Thank you very much for you reply! I am FSW applicant. One more thing to clarify if there will be any issues related to choosing not to live at the initially highlighted city or province in application at the later stage of applying for citizenship?
Literally, most Indians as soon as they enter the US...
And when they find out that they will get their GC over their dead body......
Ah yes, another soon-to-be Winnipegger! You've made a great choice in destination.
FSWs have no such obligation. You're free to land or settle wherever you please mate.
(Except Quebec)I'm considering Winnipeg too. If anyone has other affordable recommendations, please drop some. Assume I'll be working remote.
I'd be super bored till the PPR comes, finding a decent place to settle in Canada is the least I can do.
It will be interesting to see how many of these soon-to-be Winnipeggers actually move to Winnipeg or remain there after a year.
For FSWs at least once they have landed, I think they are free to live and work anywhere in Canada including Quebec. I don't think they have the obligations of PNPs or Quebec applicants.FSWs have no such obligation. You're free to land or settle wherever you please mate.
If you tell the CBSA during landing that you plan to settle in Quebec, there is a chance that they'll reject you.
A friend of mine got through FSW long back and got a job in Montreal before landing. His company's immigration lawyer was insistent that he needed a Quebec PR or a work permit to work in Quebec before he landed . After he did a soft landing in Vancouver, they were cool with it. So, I guess you can't show intent to live in Quebec at the time of landing.
