Somebody can tell me what documents will be needed to do passport submission and landing? And who knows the first day Buffalo VO opens in 2012? Jan. 3 or Jan. 5. Thanks so much.

Actaully, for CEC, proof of funds is not required. But everyone is saying to be on safe side, better t o show. Not sure how much we need to show.

For CEC category POF is not a requirement. But it does not hurt, however, to have balance in your bank accounts when you land, since sometimes the immigration officer at the boarder will ask for POF anyway not realizing the difference between FSW and CEC. Usually there could not be a question about POF.

Do I need birth certificate to landing? I remembered I sent my original and copy to CIC when I submitted application.
