Proof of funds

[SASIF]

My bank account does not have the required amount, but I have more than sufficient funds in form of saving certificates. I understand they are easily encahable and can be verified by the CIC. My question is should I encash them and to enrich my bank account or these govt. certificates will serve the purpose.

your certifcates should solve the purpose, no need to encash them at this stage.

good luck

PV is absolutely right, you don't need to encash them.

Best of luck.
