First for the fund, no you can not show non-Canadian bank staement as proof of funds. You need to carry cash, bank drafts, of traveller cheques.
For the accommodation and food issue, could you spend sometime on the internet and search outlets, SIN office, and transportation at the mentioned areas. It is very easy to do that for yourself and try all options. In general, all Toronto is safe during day time.
Good Luck

Yes you can not carry more than 10K, so either to get 10K in cash and the remaing funds requried as per your family size to be eiher in TC or drafts.
But no non-canadian stataments are accepted. You can also open an account in canada and transfer the funds toit prior to your landing.

So for a family of 3, we show need something like 15800 CAD. Do you recommend that I get a Draft for 10k CAD, and remaining 5800 CAD as Travellers Cheque??
Or carry all the 15800 CAD as draft?? pls clarify.
Thanks Saleh for the input.

Carry it however you want to...... there is no one better way to do it. You do, however, have to have it all with you.
Everything will be OK. Stay positive!!!
Good luck
