Hi,
Can you please help with following:
- We are planning to land (2 + toddler) via rd so in terms of proof of funds do we have to necessarily carry cash ? Would it be sufficient to have like 500-1000 $ in cash and rest in bank statements ?
- Is there a checklist of documents that are needed during the landing.. ?

1. Bank statements are fine.
2. You will need the passports, with the COPR, proof of funds, list of goods accompanying and goods to follow, If you intend to import your car, see www.riv.ca and http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/export_docs/motor_vehicle.xml for exporting your car from the US. You don't need it at "landing" but you should have children's immunization records as in most cases you will need them when registering them for school. Depending on the province you are heading to, you should get a letter from your Car Insurance Company as to the number of claim free years, as it will lower your costs for insurance. For example 7 years of claim free driving will save you 45% of basic insurance.
Can we also proof the funds with a Bank Money Order? If so do you know if the normal money order from the bank can be used to open and account over there? The money order will be on American Dollars.

You probably need a Cashier's Check (also known as Certified Check). My bank in the US (Wells Fargo) did not allow me make a Money Order for more than $1000. If I were to go with money order option, I had to make 20 of those. So, I went with the Cashier's Check option for $20K and paid $8 fees for that.
They let me deposit the cashier's check in Royal Bank of Canada, but as PMM said, the money was not going to be available for a month.
Better bring traveler's checks for immediate expenses. Bankers check or Personal check both would need 21 days (US Banks, may be more for other countries) to clear. So I don't see a difference in them. If you have an account in Bank of America you can use that debit card without fee at Scotia Bank ATMs.
