Proof of funds to carry from India and goods to accompany list:
Hi Everyone,
I will be landing soon, and have some confusion regarding proof of funds. I am required to show proof of more than $10000 as per the requirement, i will be carrying some cash ( as it is a short stay from 1 week) and would carry a bank certificate from indian bank stating the required amount in my account and would carry my international debit card for the same account and would transfer money to canadian bank after opening account there. I read in various threads in this forum that this is accepted but read somewhere that it is accepted from US only not from the people immigrating from India.
10,000 CAD? The minimum is 12,164 CAD for a single applicant. You can carry this in the form of cash, check, DD or a combination of the three.

Indian applicants have landed successfully by showing a latest bank letter/statement. Get the statement/letter from the bank one or 2 days prior to your travel date.
Alternatively, you can open a Canadian Bank account and deposit the funds there even before you land.

Could anybody from India , please confirm the same.
And regarding goods to accompany list, as it will be a short stay with my 3 month old baby, i will be mostly carrying personal baby stuff like diapers, cotton, baby products. Do i need to mention each and every item like no of packet of diapers, no. of feeding bottles.
Also if i will be carrying some books later on, then on "goods to follow list", do i need to mention about title of every book or i can just put number of books and their total price.
I believe you can mention everything in one group "Baby Products". Someone who has done this can provide better advise. About the books, I believe you can just say books and provide them with the number of books.
