Who does not need proof of funds
You don’t need to show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family if

  • you’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class or
  • you’re authorized to work in Canada and you have a valid job offer, even if you apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or the Federal Skilled Trades Program
Keep your funds up to date in your profile. The system may find that you’re eligible for more than 1 program. You don’t always know ahead of time which program you’ll be invited under.


See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

If you have a LMIA and your job offer meets the requires as listed above, you still need a work permit to be authorised to work in Canada.

If you do not have a work permit, you should show PoF.


@legalfalcon

In continuation to this discussion, I am also in similar situation.

I have applied for PR under FSW (outland) with 1 dependant (my spouse).

I have claimed 50 points for arranged employment (lmia approved) but have never applied for work permit. As per my GCMS, my file is approved since last year.

Also in my GCMS (last pages), I see following NOTES :

Case Analyst. ***Recommend Pass*** .........
..................................
SETTLEMENT FUNDS: Not required with valid arranged employment offer.


Sir my query is :

I am due for delivery this month, so do I have to add more amount to satisfy the POF for 3 members or am I exempted from POF requirements because of arranged job offer (which is to only support the PR)?

You are exempt from PoF, so even if you have a change of family composition, you do not require to show PoF.

I think people should read previous comments and the guidelines issued by IRCC. That query has been answered more than 10x already.
