proof of settlement funding when landing

[nbminister]

Hello,

I have question regarding the proof of the settlement funding to the immigration officer when landing. Currently I am living in US and put my funds in US based bank.

What's proof that can convince the immigration officer that I have enough funding. Are the most recent statements from the USA banks enough? I am afraid that the immigration will suspect that I might not transfer money from US to Canadian bank after the landing.

I tried to open an account in a Canadian bank before I land on Canada. But I contacted RBC, TD, BMO, Scotia Bank and seems it cannot be done in that way.

For cash it is too dangerous. Demand draft may be a good option but so far I cannot found a bank in US can provide a demand draft.

So is there is suggestions?
