Proof of funds

[Shohista]

Hello all,
I am going to open a profile in EE pool but I don't have a bank account yet. Can you tell me please, should I open an account first and wait 6 months while putting money into the account and then open a profile? Because I calculated my score and I am getting 458. Does it mean that I may be sent ITA right after I open a profile? And if they give me 60 days to prove all my documets I won't have 6 months bank account document. Please can you guide me with this?

Hello all,

I am going to open a profile in EE pool but I don't have a bank account yet - Open your account as soon as possible.

Can you tell me please, should I open an account first and wait 6 months while putting money into the account and then open a profile? - You also need to be careful about showing the source of funds for the money you put in your account ideally it should be Salary/Personal employment. Further, you can check out the option of gift deed and use that as Proof of funds instead of/in addition to your bank account. I do not think that you should wait for 6 months and then submit your EE, you can do so right now. However, please do get a second opinion on this as I am not 100% sure as to if CIC checks the date of gift deed of if Bank account is a must for PoF requirement. As per my understanding it is not and Gift deed/FD only can also suffice

Because I calculated my score and I am getting 458 - Good Score !!

Does it mean that I may be sent ITA right after I open a profile? - Getting an ITA is also dependent on time of submission of your express entry profile in the pool. However, in recent times applicants as recent as 1 to 2 weeks old in queue have got the invite in case the CRS score matches the cut of score and you have got a score which is higher than recent draws, so there are good chances that you will indeed get the ITA pretty quickly, once you submit your profile.

And if they give me 60 days to prove all my documents I won't have 6 months bank account document. - As stated above, as per my understanding bank account is not mandatory but highly desirable. You may choose Gift deed/FD as alternatives to prove the funds

Please can you guide me with this? - Sorry that I could not answer your queries fully, but just sharing best I know. Good luck in your application

Bank account is definitely a must(refer url link), and nowadays FDs are not easily being accepted.
