i dont think anyone had tried it before as its not quite common these days that someone still holds a large amount of money in the post office account. but i think if that money can be liquidated and you can provide enough proof for it in CIC requirements then it shouldnt be a problem and you can explain that in the letter of explanation. just try to get a paper from the post office in english that says that the money can be withdrawn in cash at the applicant's request without any limits.

regarding the requirements of the POF letter, thats what the CIC website says

Document requirements

The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.
o The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.
Other documents may also be requested, as necessary.

i guess you can do that as long as you can provide proof that you got the money from the postal account which you had for a long time.

you now have two options, either transfer the money to your bank account then get a bank statement again from the post office and for that bank account, translate the post office papers and explain what happened in an LOE

or just translate the post office papers and attach them to the POF and explain in the LOE that you couldnt get the required CIC format because its a governmental institution and they arent flexible.

im no expert as im just about to apply myself but im just saying what sounds logical though its not a guarantee of what the visa officer might accept or reject. but thats what i did in my POF as al ahly bank didnt provide all the things i needed too but thats the best i could do.

Whats better to just go with what i have from the post office and write loe or to transfer the money?but anyways there wont be an average balance from the bank because the money wont be in the account for 6 months,also are fixed deposits and time deposits accepted?like the 3,6 and 12 months certificates

Don't put it in fixed deposit, they money should be transferable and unincumbered
