Settlement Funds - with job offer

[ghostrideryu]

Hi,

I am about to land at Toronto on September 6th with approved PR visa.
I managed to secure low skilled minimum wage paid job while still in home country.

I wonder if anyone knows if in that case I do not need to bring settlements funds with me to Canada since I would like to avoid this hassle about conversion rates and carry the money with myself personally, etc...

I would simply leave it on my local bank account and bring visa with me.
If that is possible which kind of documentation should be prepared by employer since I trust in this case he does not need LMIA.

I have read this below but I trust this is applicable to those that are in process of application and not for case such as mine is.

Thanks a lot for your valuable opinions!

I think you are not required to present settlement funds

1. Unless you have an approved LMIA for permanent residence from an employer, you require proof of settlement funds on 'landing" if you are a skilled worker.
