NRI (Indian Savings - SBI BANK) Account can we show as POF

[immigration1]

Hello all Indians,
I have NRI / NRE / NRO Savings account with some $7200 total if I count all RS to USD. is it good to show as POF? even can we show this bank account statement at Port of entry when we enter, so this way I don't want to carry this ammount when I plan to land in Canada , because its NRE/NRI account and SBI have branch in canada too.

If your account and the money in that account can be verified by making a phone call in Canada, then it is ok. But I doubt about it, SBI is not an international bank. SBI does not have retail banking branch in Canada.  Bank statement of an international bank is acceptable.

Thanks , I found this link: http://sbicanada.com/Default.aspx
but I dont know it's accepted or not if I carry bank statement only, as I know NRI account is for rupee and even you will get it in Dollars too if you need for your own expenses, but I dont have any idea, SBI have some Branches in Toronto area.

nice post immigration1, I am also looking similar, I have also NRI  NRE/NRO/FCNR ACCOUNT , I have 2 accounts , 1 NRE and 2nd NRO. if you found that statement is acceptable at landing time then good for us to not carry more money, just transfer some amount to bank.
please share with us if you guys have experience.
