Settlement funds & Health Insurance

[SonOfOdin]

Hi,

I am moving to Halifax on 9th June 2015 and I had a few doubts regarding Settlement funds & Health Insurance:

1.) I have a job offer in Halifax and am scheduled to join on June 17th. If I produce this offer letter, would the IO be interested in POF?

2.) I want to be sure that I get through immigration. So I am not leaving anything to luck. I still want to carry POF. I have funds in my Indian SBI Bank acct but I have seen posts on the forum where the IO has rejected the bank statements from India. I do not have time to create a bank account in Canada at this point in time. SBI Bank does not provide traveller's cheque. Is it ok if I apply a traveller's card and load it up with the amount needed for POF and then show its statement as POF?

3.) I get comprehensive health insurance from my employer for myself and my wife from the 1st day of employment. I need to have some health insurance coverage for my first week in Canada. Can you please suggest how to go about this?

Please do share your thoughts on this.

Regards...
