Is POF required even if job is there in Canada?

[vineethere]

Dear all - Wanted to know something about POF ->

1. If I have a employment prior to landing, is it ok to carry the Canadian employment letter having salary details, etc as POF?? .. or is the home country POF still required??
2. For the home country funds, is it ok to have it in the home country currency (not in CAD) and show the proof like Bank Statements, etc in the home country currency as POF?? (my idea is to carry 2K CAD cash in hand and remaining in home country currency (bank stmt proofs).

Pls let me know.

Thanks.

If you Have a job offer and LMO/TWP in place, proof of funds is generally not required.

Proof of funds is used to ensure tha you can support yourself until you find work.
