Reduce amount of proof of funds after ITA

[sahilng]

Hello,

I have a question regarding proof of funds for Express Entry.
While building my profile, I had stated that I'll be able to bring CAD 20,000. Although I was required to bring min. CAD 15,772, since we are only 2 in family (as per this - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html)
My question is - Now that I have received my ITA, can I reduce the amount from CAD 20,000 to ~CAD 18,500? CAD 18,500 is still more than what is min. required.

Please let me know!
Thanks in advance!

I answered your other post. You can change the amount as long as it's above the minimum.

Thanks a lot for your reply!
Is there any blog/article published on CIC's website which can provide some concrete proof regarding this?
Would you recommend me to write this in my optional LoE?

IRCC states the minimum required funds, that is all. This question serves as a self-declaration that you will be bringing the minimum required funds (or more) to Canada. You don't even have to bring that extra amount later, they just want to see that you have the minimum.

Similar questions like these are which provinces do you intend to live in. If you answer Quebec, your application would be declined. You might ask why IRCC includes Quebec then? Answer is, they want your declaration that you will choose any provinces except Quebec.

You don't really have to mention in the LOE since it's still higher than the minimum, but it doesn't hurt.
