Query about Proof of funds while first landing

[Meow1234]

Hello,

I have a query regarding how to carry proof of funds while first landing in Çanada.

1) For a Single Applicant, the proof of funds that has to be declared while filing the PR application is Approx. 12K CAD.

Do I need to carry this entire amount to Canada in the form of cash, Forex card, DD Etc ?

2) If the answer to the above is a YES then as per the below links, do I need to declare the amount at the immigration ?

3) If I plan to carry an amount of 6k CAD as a combo of cash, forex card and DD along with a Bank Statement of 12k CAD from My Indian bank account, then do I have to declare at the immigration ?

Will it be considered as I am carrying 6K CAD thats below 10K CAD - Hence no declaration needed ?
OR
Will it be considered 6K CAD + 12K CAD - hence declaration needed ???

Does the 10K CAD declaration also include the bank letter ?


Thanking you in advance.

No you don't need carry all the money with you. Bank statement will suffice.

Bank statement is not cash. No need to declare if you bring 6K
