I did not want to get into this, but now i feel it's OK to have my say here
. I wish this is the last one on this topic.
Every member has the right to speak his own views here. We are all from different cultures and backgrounds and so it is perfectly normal to have this sort of differences in opinions.
BUT, i would prefer to just reiterate that we have ALL sorts of people in this forum and the only way to keep your cool and that of the forum is, just ignore the posts that you do not appreciate or agree with. You may just say that you do not agree and appreciate the content, but yes, you cannot do enough to get rid of that views/post/user.
In this case, there was a person, who came forward to share his personal info that he had loaned some money from his employer to facilitate his POF requirements. There is nothing wrong in this, except that there is a risk of rejection if the VO confirms the money is not eligible for a POF as stated. First, not everyone is well off in their home country to become eligible for immigration by default. In-fact that is still one of the primary reasons why people choose immigration. A lot of us do sell our properties, cars, use ALL of the possible money to immigrate(including the amount we use as POF). Further, some might even go to the extent to borrow from friends and relatives to help themselves become eligible for immigration. As long as there are no conflicts between the lender and the borrower, this should be OK.
The thing on CIC's website obviously says, 'The money should belong to the applicants', as it has to be available for the applicants for their settlement in Canada. Yes, after borrowing the money is obviously the applicants' and it's between the lender and the applicant as to how the repayments are scheduled, if at all they are due. So, obviously that money will be available for the applicant while he arrives in Canada and so, he is not going to drain the public funds there in this case. I guess the CIC's specifications only apply to that money, which is borrowed for a limited time(during the application), for example, one might just borrow the money from the day he prints his POF to the day he receives his Visa. Unfortunately this happens quite often and so the VOs might be This sort of borrowing is the one actually not qualified for immigration.
Hope i did not confuse or offend anyone
. I wish Bkcnbr good luck on his application
