Hi,
I am landing on Friday under family class as PR..My question is I have bank statements for funds but I will not actually be carrying the money on me, it will be sent via wire transfer..so the declaration of funds page do I fill it out?
I am confused by it because I am not carrying coins or currency but I am not carrying the money in stocks bonds etc.

What should I do?
Thanks

I believe you only have to fill out the declaration if you are carrying 10k or more.

Hi there Congratulations and I truly hope that everything goes well for you. there is a declaration form at the immigration receptions at the airports, I only have peace of suggestion to give you is that you must mention that you are expecting some money transfer at later date, mention the date if you know it, then you would not be asked any questions later. however I do believe that they expect you to carry money on you at landing, you must have read numerous times on the forum. but that is completely okay!!. also keep in mind having money transfer would cost you lot more than you might have thought.
all the best for Friday.. Welcome to Canada in advance from Me
