The op06 states that the applicant has to show the POF. Applicant here refers to PA.

"14

Settlement funds

The applicant must clearly demonstrate that they have sufficient and available funds to meet the requirements or that they have arranged employment as defined in R82.

The funds must be:

 available and transferable;

 unencumbered by debts or other obligations.

The amount of funds are assessed according to the applicant‘s family size using 50% of Statistics Canada‘s most current Low Income Cut-off (LICO) for urban areas with populations of 500,000 or more. "

Now, some members argued that since your wife is joining you then you can do so. Also, one member claimed that they know someone who did this and already landed.

So it's up to you to decide.

Good luck.

Agreed with mezo this is bit tricky and has been discussed before in detail. POF should be from principal applicant in my opinion. Rest is upto you to decide................

You can use her bank statement only if she is going with you.

I am not absolutely sure about whether spouse bank account works as POF or not but it supposed to. Like for my case I did provide the major source of my POF as from selling land property which was on my spouse name. However, The savings  and FD  account statement and Account balance certificate I did show for POF also had half of the amount from my own source (salary) as PA. Hope this will give you some idea....

Yes. You can use your spouse's account for showing POF.

If you are confused with so many different opinions..then why dont you convert that account into a joint account.. its a simple process done in a few mins and then you dont have to worry..

I recommend you check your VO checklist. Someone in this forum showed that for instance, the new Delhi accepts spouse POF.

I have some amount in joint account with my husband and husband's name FD (about 70%) of POF required. Is it OK to have it on husband's name. I am PA.

If your husband is part of your application as an accompanying member, it is no problem. You can show this money as POF
