I am planning to go to Amsterdam and applying for a shengen visa. My friend told me that I should present a savings account instead of a checking account but my money is on my checking acct. So is it possible for me to submit my checking acct statements instead?

As an Immigrant, how much of Canadian retirement funds are you entitle to?

retirement funds
coyoteborder asked:


I read that immigrants that become permanent residents in Canada, and that enter the labor market at a mature age (30+, 40+), and that retire at the normal retirement age of 65 or 67, are entitle to a portion only of Canada’s retirement funds. The reasoning behind it is that because they have not contributed as long as a native Canadian or another immigrant that had entered the labor market at an earlier age, they cannot withdraw equal amount of funds. If it is so, is there a % of the “normal pension” that an immigrant would receive in retirement funds depending on his/her age at the time he started working in Canada? Are there investment options, like in the USA (mutual funds, 401K, IRA, etc), to make up for the difference of what a native Canadian could receive at a retirement age?

If they are making money while they are here illegally, is not that money the same as money a drug maker earns? And we sieze the money and belongings of drug makers when we catch them. So, shouldn’t we do the same to the money that illegal aliens make?
