Hi
I read on this forum that you can do that with an official bank letter confirming the closing balance .
Some people have suggested that it is safer to carry bank drafts ,travellers cheques,limited amount of cash etc...( just in case the IO wants to go deeper on the issue of funds)
I thing if you search this forum you would find enough info about that topic,many people have asked the same question and seniors have come up with answers (qorax,PMM etc...)

Congratulations ! and Enjoy your good life in Canada

Simply purhcase the required funds in CAD in bankers draft from your UK bank and deposit same into your new account in canada. You're still going to transfer the funds to canada in any case, so why not do it the easiest way and have your draft as POF.

Peace!!

@ind2uk2can
Take Anigerian's advice ,buy bank draft. Do not attempt to present a statement which reflects a incorrect balance. Most banks won't give you an official letter for a current account for fear that you could still withdraw the funds and still present the letter somewhere(that's misrepresentation).
If it is a fixed deposit account ,they would give you a letter because funds cannot be withdrawn without a notice.
They gave me such a letter for London VO because my settlement funds are secured in a fixed deposit account.Each time that the VO requests POF, I get a bank statement & a letter ( Confirmation of Investment ) So far VO have requested POF twice throughout the processing

So better safe than sorry jsut in case the IO reads the move in advance ,it is not hard to guess why people do unusual things
