Proof of Funds at Border

[AmericanMovingToCanada]

Hello! I have a question about providing Proof of Funds at the border!

What proof do we have to offer the Immigration officer? A six month balance statement/average like we submitted when applying in the first place? Do I have to have my cash or a check physically on me? Or can it all still be in a bank account in the states, and I just show him my proof of fund papers. Because I'm wary of bringing up the cash, even in check form, physically with me. My plan is once I cross the border to open up a Canadian bank account and then arrange an online transfer.

Can anyone shed some light on any of this?

Thanks for your help!

An updated bank statement is enough.

Thank you!

Since it will still be in American account, and not physically on me, do I have to declare it since it is over 10 K? Or is that only if I'm physically bringing it over the border with me? I'm confused by that.

I'm not entirely certain.
But I assume it's only if you have the money with you. Otherwise, if you went to Canada for any reason (as a tourist, etc.), you'd have to declare it if you had more than $10,000 is your bank account at home.
