Hello

Does anybody has idea about:

I am currently unemployed. My last salary was in August and as I was hoping to get an ITA soon had not even tried to get some. My CRS 458

1. Wouldn't it be a reason for rejection????

I mentioned in EE Profile that can provide myself with 33,000 CAD and I surely can do it. I was thinking it would be enough for POF. I point such a big number for one applicant cause "Determine your eligibility to apply" quiz always failed me, and only after mentioning maximum amount of money it allowed me to create account (I actually was wondering how people with CRS of 450 and less could create an account... is it me doing something wrong... or CIC has different requirements for diffent people based on citizenship, gender, age, etc????)

So basically I have card with enough amount of money. IF I get an ITA I am planning to transfer it to new bank account and use it as POF will it work ??? or we have to show that for the last 6 month we constantly earned some money.

You need to show that you have the minimum required funds for coming to Canada (1 applicant = CAD 12,164). If you have more than that it is ok.
You could have shown CAD 12,200 while creating your profile.
Also IRCC requires a bank letter stating the 6 months average balance and current balance
If there is a huge difference, you'll need to provide proof of source of such a large amount transferred to your bank account along with LOE

Think about how you can prove that these funds exclusively belong to you in the first place. If you've been saving these funds as cash outside the banking system, it will be extremely hard to prove that these aren't borrowed. The only option then would be to ask someone to 'gift' these funds into your bank account, provide a self-declaration from that person about this 'gift' and provide proof of funds transfer as well.
