For 3 person u need to show minimum 18500 CAD Approximately and its better to take at least this much amount of money along with u..

Now the question is How do u carry 18500 CAD? -As per Bangladesh Bank Rule- An Adult can endorse 5000USD & 2000USD Equivalent to Other Currency [Euro,GBp,Cad,AUD] and Your child will be able to endorse 2500USD & 1000 USD Equivalent to Other currency.

As per my calculation 5000$=6300 CAD,2000$=2500CAD. So an Adult will be able to endorse/carry around 8800 CAD legally and your child will be able to carry 2500$=3100 CAD & 1000$=1250 CAD, Total 4350 CAD.

My Calculation presumes Total 3 persons, You can endorse/carry 21950CAD [Which solves your pof Issue]

Thanks Steaky for your valuable response.

Is there anyone from Bangladesh can tell me about the monetary regulations during departure to Canada?

Steaky brother - Any recommended Insurance company for thy 3 months insurance coverage?

steaky said:
1) No photo would be required by Immigration. You would need your passport;
2) Not sure about the monetary restrictions in Bangladesh. Perhaps other Bangladeshi posters (such as Rossel) would know;
3) You can start your house hunting through these websites: craiglist, rentbc.com, kiiji.com, etc., however, please proceed using caution. One safer way is to book a cheap hotel first, check the neighborhood and go to the rental property before making any decision. You probably would have to pay security deposit before any landlord would rent the place to you;
4) Medicines (expensive). You would also need to carry a traveller's insurance for emergencies because newcomers have a 3 months wait for BC MSP coverage;
5) Once you became PR, you can live anywhere in BC.
