Absolutely. That's even what many newcomers do. Cash+Bank statements
You are not required to bring all the money you initially declared in your application in one go.
Not landed yet.Thank you so much for the quick reply.
When u landed..did they ask u about pof?
But I know many people who have done the same, and none of them were asked about POF. Just basic statutory questions.
But if asked to provide proof, bank statements are enough.
Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Dear Peacekeeper,
Related to this topic, one more query.
As you know the POF requirement has changed now. When I applied the POF for 2 was CAD 15531... and now it is CAD 15772....which among this should I show while landing?
Please guide.

Note that the amount you theoretically need to bring with you, is the amount you declared in your EE profile. Not the minimum funds as mentioned on CIC website. So if you declared 15,531CA$, then that's the amount you may have to show. If for example you declared 20,000CA$, then that's the amount you may have to show.
It could be either in cash, or bank statements, and you're not required to bring all of it at once. Also note that if you're bringing more than 10,000CA$, you need to declare it at customs.
Is it ok if I just provide a bank balance rather than a bank statement that shows each and every transactions?
If your bank letter contains every single item required by IRCC, then sure. Bank statements are not required.
However, they need to make sure somehow that you were paid for your job. So include pay slips. If you don't include them and they decide they need to see more evidence of salary, they may ask for 12 months of bank statements showing salary deposits.
So if there is something in the bank statement you don't want them to see, you'll be back to square one.
Oh you already have CoPR! Nevermind then, thought you were still applying.
Then yes, bank balance works fine, as I assume you're talking about POF for landing.
Yep. Was asking for a friend who's scared to reveal that she has taken a loan and that would reflect in her transactions. Well, technically, her minimum funds are in her account, but it's an additional loan. I hope that won't be an issue.
The issue with loans is to have taken them in order to meet minimum funds. Having loans on top of having the minimum funds is no issue.
