POF dilemma

[sam3218]

Hi all. I have a dilemma regarding Pof upon landing. My application is still under process but I've passed eligibility. I am living and working in Dubai right now but will be leaving in a week as I have resigned from my job. I will go back to Pakistan. My POF funds account is in UAE, but since I'll be leaving UAE, I won't be able to get fresh bank statements after I have left UAE so when hopefully the COPR is granted and I land, I won't be able to furnish recent bank statements of this account. Hence I was considering 2 main options:

1. Leave the bank account as it is, after getting COPR, open a bank account in Canada before landing and transfer money to it, but unsure about how feasible this idea is and how much are the wire transfer charges?

2. Withdraw the amount equal to pof and put it in a prepaid Forex card and use it as POF.

Which one is more suitable?

I am hesitant to transfer the monies to my Pakistan bank account as the PKR depreciates rather rapidly and very unpredictability.


Further is there any chance now that VO will ask for updated POF, if yes then how to go about it since I won't be able to get recent bank statements or all my money will be in a Forex card.
