Prospective Canada visitor = proof of funds.

[stanone]

I have read from numerous websites online that prospective Canada visitors have to show a proof of fund/ certain amount of money before being allowed entry into Canada. Is this true? If yes then does the fund depend on how long an visitor decides to stay in Canada ?
Can anyone give an estimate of how much the immigration authorities would require a visitor to have on him/her.

Thanks

That is absolutely true. My girlfriend has just been rejected because they don't believe she will leave! They cited the reasons because of funds, and she has an office job that pays her 35k a year! This is the first time she is applying to, I don't know what we will do.......other then vote liberal in the next election to change the mess that has been made of the immigration system. This KILLS me
