Hello Experts,

My permanent residency is approved for FSWP and in coming future I'll be moving to Canada. I am interested in Proof of Funds, I mean during my application I provided documents as proof of funds for a single person around 12000 CAD. So now as I'll be coming to Canada, should I cash ot and bring with me or just take a bank statement.

Can you provide a link where I can read about how I must bring my money with me.

Best Regards,
Grigor Nazaryan

Hi Grigor, you can bring all your cash to Canada just ensure you declare it at the airport. You can take your recent bank statement as POF to show source of the cash, that's all. But it might not be necessary as other travelers are bringing even more than that sometimes. All the best.

Thanks for your answer,

one more question, I would be on the safe side if I just take a bank statement. Is it possible to take an official statement from bank and show on the borderline.

Best Regard,
Grigor

Yes; as long as the funds are verifiable and you can show that you have instant access to the funds.
