Hi,
I have got a Visa international currency travel card issued by a licensed money changer in India. It has been credited with CAD. Will this be acceptable for proof of funds, provided the issuing bank has certified the links between this card and the savings account used to purchase Canadian Dollars and this card?
I am also carrying some cash.
Please provide info on this.

Reposting my case:
I landed on July 2013 at Toronto & returned to India after 10 days. As a POF I (single) carried bank Travel Currency cards (Visa) from 2 different banks with a total value of CAD 9500. Apart from these Debit cards I also took USD 1000 & CAD 650 in cash. At Immigration counter when asked, I told the fact clearly & the officer asked about type of the cards & also asked whether the money associated with the cards are on loan. I think he meant whether those are Credit cards. He didn't check anything else & simply wrote the approximate sum at the landing paper. Total time I spent on the counter was 2 minutes including signing at the paper at 3 places. I also carried Indian ATM cum Debit cards as safety measures.

Srinivas, keep the stamped statements showing the card value from the moneychanger as a Proof. Activate cards online before travel & test (ptint mini statement) it from the ATM at India. I had a 2nd thought if challenged to prove the card validity at POE, I would go to nearby ATM at airport & withdraw the cash in CAD or the mini statement whichever is accepted by imm officer. Remember every use of your card at Canada would cost al least 2$ at ATMS.

Regards..
