Second that. Where exactly, on the document checklist, does it ask for proof of funds?
It doesn't? - Guess it's not required then.

Agreed! There is no requirement that stipulates you need to provide proof of funds. CEC is based on experience in Canada, not your ability to support yourself. You can see these requirements for other applications, such as FSW, investor, study permit and so forth.

Like toby pointed out, if you look at the checklist, you will see that there is no statement concerning funds...therefore not required.

I considered, at one point, sending this in, as I had considerable savings. But after reading posts on here and talking to a few people, came to the realization that it would not help. This is not the investor stream, thus your funds are irrelevant. You just need to have enough to pay for application fee, medical, document certification or translations (if necessary), other admin fees (birth certificate, etc.), RPRF and postage. Thats all. :)

He probably means when landing. U have to show to imm.office.that u can support yourself n not go on welfare right away. If u don't have a job offer I think u need to show approx $12000 in travellers cheques for principal applicant (the exact amount has changed over the years so u should check what's the story now)

That's not correct. There's no such requirement, at least not for CEC applications. However, proof of funds is required for Federal skilled workers applicants.

I might b wrong but on this link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-after.asp

It says:

The CIC officer will make a decision on your application based on:

-whether you meet the eligibility criteria for the program,
-whether you have the funds to support yourself and your family when you arrive in Canada,
-the results of your medical exam, and
-the information on your police certificate.

Check second bullet point. So I figured it must refer to cec as well. I read somewhere that it refers to all economic classes (if u don't have arranged employment)... not 100% but possible

That's for a decision on granting COPR. Look below on that page and it tells you about the border procedure:::

If you applied from outside Canada

When you arrive in Canada, you will be greeted by an officer from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

The officer will ask to see your passport and other travel documents. Make sure they are not packed in your luggage, and that you have them with you. This will help speed up your entry to Canada.

Make sure you have:

your valid passport or travel documents. Your passport must be a regular, private passport. You cannot immigrate to Canada with a diplomatic, government service or public affairs passport.
both your valid permanent resident visa and your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). The officer will make sure you complete this final step before or on the expiry date on your permanent resident visa. Please note that your visa cannot be extended. Make sure you use it before it expires.
The officer will ask you a few questions to make sure you are still eligible to immigrate to Canada. The questions will be a lot like the ones you answered when you applied. This should only take a few minutes.

We will deny your application if:

you give false or incomplete information, or
if you do not convince the officer that you meet the conditions to become a permanent resident of Canada.
If there are no problems during this final step, the officer will grant you permanent resident status. The officer will also confirm your Canadian mailing address. Your permanent resident card will be mailed to you at this address.

They don't ask for proof of funds during the application stage - as a skilled worker I'm guessing they assume you'll find work.
