My family's just got PR and plan to land on May 2015.
However, some of my properties and stock in stock market cannot sell in time.
So I plan to bring money in just enough to fulfil "the proof of fund" and transfer in later in 6 months.
Do I need to pay tax for that?

1. Not on the money itself, but any any increase in the value of the property and the stocks from the date of your "landing" to the date that you sell them, will be subject to capital gains tax in Canada.
2. So ensure that you know what the value of these items are when you "land"

Hi,
My husband and myself have got PR and we plan to land on August 2016.
We have a property which we would be selling later. I understand from above thread that we have to declare the value of property as on date of landing. We will bring only funds sufficient to fulfil the " proof of funds".
Do we need to Submit the property documents along with the proof of funds ?
