Proof of Funds

[bowldrm97]

Can IRA's and 401K values be counted?  Or can you only count cash in your savings?

Retirement savings don't count because they're not liquid.  You'd also take tax and penalty hits to access them, so their present values aren't real.

CIC is looking for cash and other liquid assets.

2.- How does the proof of employment work for full families? (since the funds change depending on the number of applicants, I wonder if the job offer needs to reflect some kind of minimum salary)...
