As you have a job offer/arranged employment, you don't need to provide proof of funds. Your current bank statements and other financials would help to only confirm your salary for your current employment
Ok. Thank you very much :)

With the number of fake job offers going around, I would be doubly cautious before believing the agent.

Your potential employer has to get an approved LMIA. Has the agent "applied" for the LMIA?

Some advice:
1. It seems like a scam to me. If your documents are fake (Read: Fake job offer, LMIA approval) then you could end up getting banned for misrepresentation.

BTW the employer needs to apply for an LMIA, not an agent. Generally, it is next to impossible to get a job from outside Canada. Not sure what the agent has assured you.


2. No, you don't need to have a specific amount in your bank account if you have arranged employment/a job offer for a skilled job

I’m very thankful for your sincere concern.
In my best of knowledge it’s not scam as employer appointed agent for smooth transition of process and taking agents guidance.and applied of course himself with all his relevant documents.
I generally do not get agents for my visa works as in past I have been to many countries and don’t have desperation to go out but this opportunity seems good to me therefore just giving it a go

But I do not understand why he asked to keep 23,000 Canadian dollars for family maintenance as I’m not applying for any PR and have not heard but keeping funds for work permit that doubt me .
