I don't recommend changing large amounts of money at an airport. Or at hotels.  There are banks and currency exchange booths in the city centers of most major cities in the UK that give excellent rates. Or you could change the money at a bank or currency exchange place on arrival in the USA.  Experienced travelers don't send their money to other people to hold for them and give them upon arrival. Carry cash or use ATMs.

 

The Canadians may ask you to show cash on hand too, be prepared for that.

 

I’m not an experienced traveler, this was my first plane flight ever. I definitely learnt a valuable lesson but thanks for the assistance, I’ll be more prepared in the future.

You might want to do some significant reading and research here on VJ about the immigration process.  Your GF should as well.  It is complex and expensive, and not fast.

Yeah we know that, I’m not sure if she needs viable tax returns if she has a joint sponsor, her sister works at the post office and earns 50,000 USD per annual so the sponsor is not an issue, she also meets the income requirements it’s just she works at a pizza shop off the books so she doesn’t receive any taxes.

 

She’s also recently divorced, like last month due to a prolonged process not sure if that has any implication on the whole application.

This is a process you need to be sure about,

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Your GF is still your primary sponsor, regardless of income.  She will need to get current on her tax situation asap.
