I have one question. Namely, my POF is In euro because euro is the most reliable currency in my country. Should I convert my money or it's OK to send them bank statement in euro currency?

It is currently taking more than a year for application process, I have received an Aor after 1 year. Yours might take around 2 months more. You will be receiving an Aor first in which u will be assigned a file number, then based on the completeness of your application the nomination officer will give u a nomination
A helpful message it is.
Thanks for your contribution.
All the best to you!

Hello all hopeful! Just to update that we have got passports back with visa and COPR. Thank to Almighty. Travelling to Halifax in September. Wanna share one info which I couldn't find on discussion forum regarding POF. I was wondering what could be simplest and fastest way to carry POF with us while landing. I learned that you can open Scotia Bank account online from your home country (through StartRight program for new comers) with your passport number, CPR document number and expected arrival date. You can do so as early as 18 months before arrival. They will ask you to create secure mail and will send you account number and details how you can transfer up to 50000 CAD one time to your new account. One important thing: You can only transfer funds from your own bank account in your home country. They don't accept funds from exchange houses or any other person's account or any other country/ source. Once funds are processed, Scotia Bank will send you account statement which could be shown as POF on arrival. Once you arrive, you can visit any of Scotia Bank branch to activate that account. Once activated, all your funds would be available to you as normal bank account.
Hope this may help some one who is curious about POF like me.
you can expect AOR by late October or Early November as NS takes more time to process our applications. Once you get AOR, you may get your nomination within a month or so.
