Dear Qorax and other seniors,

I have a question abt changing the account.
unfortunately i have kept the amount in current account as that was my salary account..
you can well imagine ,keeping 1.7 million dumbly in a account for the last 15 months and from where you r getting zero profit, how that feels..
But now i have to think abt it cz i really donno when to get medicals..
i am post 26 applicant...i talked to banker of shifting my amount to saving account but for that my account number will have to get change by 2 digits.

plz suggest me what to do?is it feasible to change my account number keeping in view that CHC may look for last six month statement..also i have provided my current account number to CHC at the time i applied...now what it the account number changes?
i have asked this question to another related thread and one of the respected member said that there should be an evidence of lump sump transfer of amount in my new account..
what would be that evidence? i guess i can show up the transfer from my previous account to this new one and get a certificate from bank saying its transfer..am i right?
Please suggest would it be advisable to change account just to get profit.
Thanks in advance

WS

Note:-
1) i have already a saving account in the same bank opened 6 months back( with very little money inside)..just need to transfer the amount from current one to saving account.
2) once in saving account, i can withdraw the money any time beside getting profit
thanking all of you in advance

Hi kml2706,
I can very understand your point.
Here I do not think you will have any difficulty if you transfer the money from one account to another account (Both accounts in your name). And to be on the safer side you can include the statement of the current account too to avoid the question regarding the bulk transfer.
(And just FYR i never produced the bank statements, instead i always obtained a Balance certificate from the Bank on the letter head with sign and stamp, and I was never asked any question even at the interview.)
just my two cents!!!!!!
Thanks
Soby

My status with In Process since Feb 2011:

We received your application for permanent residence on April 13, 2010.
We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on June 28, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. 
Your application and supporting documents were received by the London England office. They are pending review. 
We transferred your application to the London England office on July 6, 2010. The London England office may contact you.

I think.. its going to take one more year min to complete the whole process.  One more summer in UAE

You are absolutely correct Soby. All he need is a Balance certificate as POF while his application is in process.
Cheers !!!

Hii folks, I am moving to canada on 27th of this month. I have following question.(tried to search the forum but can't find specific info)

I have contacted my hsbc bank to make a draft in canadian dollar but they refused and told me that only US dollar draft is possible. Can i take my landing funds in US$ ?

I heard that we can take 10,000 $ cash. Is it applicable for whole family or individual.

Hi Hassan,
if you are carrying cash you can carry any amount and if its more than $10000/- you have to declare at the POE, which is not going to affect you negatively in any way. USD 10,000/- which can be taken undeclared is per individual.
Are you from UAE, if yes go to Al Fardan Exchange they issue Draft in Canadian $
Hope it helps

Hi, you get the DD from any branch of AL FARDAN EXCHANGE. The POF depends on the size of your family traveling.
Better to have CAD.

HI buddy

rgdg POF , u can transfer the fund not only to ur saving a/c but also to any FDs which give u more interest/returns, (FD certificates are treated as POF, eg=myself) the only doc u need is the same amount debited to ur current a/c which u showed now as POF and the same amount put as Fixed deposit in any bank.

in my opinion wht u did is perfect, i mean sending 3-6 months statements with applic.

Good luck buddy and no cause for worries.

Relax... utilizing/investing our monies in any/many other financial products, during processing of the PR apps, is a non-issue. U r free to do whatever u want with your money - till the time u have net balances in any/many a/cs.

BTW, 1.7 million u say? In Chequing a/c? R u nuts? Unless u r talking about 'Japanese-Yen'.
___________________________________________________

A. Firstly, what u do with those funds isn't CIC's business.
B. U can invest them anywhere u want - even but a property/Bentley/Rolls-Royace [!].
C. All CIC desires is that u have the 'requisite'* funds somewhere in a banking product.
D. The rest/balance is not considered of any worth to them - unless u r a Business Stream applicant.

Qorax
*The requisite funds in 'only' the amount mentioned in the CIC guide [pax to fund table].

After that by one week, I received my CAIPs where they have indicated 17 June as the BF date.

When shall I expect to hear from them? Shall I contact them now?

Thank for responding.
