I think that you will find that US authorities will be interested in where the money came from.
"Travellers leaving or entering the U.S. are required to report negotiable monetary instruments (i.e. currency or endorsed checks) valued at $10,000 or more on a "Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments" form FinCEN 105."

you can bring those ammount with you to your home country (as your post you are leaving USA) if requiered inform to in your home country custom forms becasue as I know if you leave USA CBP is not asking you to delcare any amount at the time of departure but they ask to who is arriving from abroad.

Guys, i got PR through the Federal Skilled worker Program, so im migrating to Canada with my one year old US born baby. I read the required amount of funds for 2 persons is $13,800.00, so i will have to leave the US with this POF. Do you think US Immigration can seize this because i was not authorised to live and work in the States??
Please advise, im very confused and scared.

It is quite feasible that someone could enter the USA with funds and want to leave with them.
If this is your money and it was obtained legally there should be no problem.
My point about seizure, was applicable to someone who did not declare funds when leaving the country.
I'll make no further comment on where the funds come from, I do not know the US system well enough to advise you.
You need to talk to someone who knows the US rules, like a lawyer.
