Proof of funds with job offer

[McLynne13]

Hi all Can anyone clarify the following...

I thought having a job offer meant I didn’t need proof of funds.

CIC website says that you do not need proof of funds if you are currently:

• authorized to work in Canada and
• have a valid job offer

It’s the ‘authorized’ bit I’m having trouble finding more information about. Does having a value job offer mean I’m officially authorized to work in Canada?

Thanks for any info!

No - having a valid job offer doesn't mean you're authorized to work in Canada. Being authorized to work in Canada means you hold a valid work permit.

In Detail, if you get PR through Express Entry program, then while landing if you have a job offer in hand (from a Canada employer), then funds are not required.
