PoF from USA relative

[AkelCA]

I live in Ethiopia and I have an aunt in USA. She is willing to pay me 13k USD. Since I am not able to receive the money in Canadian dollars in my home country, what is the best way for me to provide proof of funding from the below list:

• banker's drafts
• cheques
• money orders
• travellers’ cheques

Please note that I am not able to recieve the money from my aunt in Canadian dollar due to country restriction. Therefore I have to find another way of showing the Proof of funds.

You can't use any of these as POF. The money has to be deposited in a bank account under YOUR name.
You can convert the money to your local currency, doesn't need to be Canadian dollar

Are you sure? according to this link from Canadian government website all 4 are options are acceptable:

The last section talks about how you can bring money to Canada when you land. Not POF for your application

Read "What we accept as proof" section

As said above - none of these are options. The money needs to be deposited in a bank account in your name. Your aunt can send you the money in a different currency.

The money needs to be deposited in YOUR bank account. After that, a gift deed has to be submitted by you that tells that the money is being gifted to you by your aunt and is not borrowed.
