Change of Bank Account after docs submission.Need to inform Visa O ffice???

[qorax]

Hi Qorax I am from Dubai, UAE... My application sent by my consultant... I have an important question...

The proof of funds was forwarded together with my documents last September 2010. Last November 2010, I opened a new bank account intended for my proof of funds and transfered the money to the new account as I do not have transaction with the old one due to high charges. Last February 2011, I officially closed my old bank account. I am afraid that when London VO will do the background checking they might find out that my old account is closed and they do not know that I have a new one.

Do I need to inform my agent to update the London VO regarding my new bank account in writing? Because according to the letter I received from CIC we should inform for any changes such as address, email add and etc..but, I am not sure if a change in bank account is included.

My agent told me before that we have to wait for the VO to request for new bank statement if they want to. But it is difficult to believe my agent because they are not concern of our application they are interested with money making from their clients. I do not want to make mistake with my application as I have already my first file number. You can send me a private email at ...com.
...
Please enlighten. Thank you for the help.

Go & fire that agent tomorrow.
Send the new bank's statements [qty 2 months] - the initial opening statement [showing the funds deposited] and the current month's [showing the available balance] imdtly to your VO, under a cover letter.

In that cover letter explain why u had to close that a/c.

Now hopefully everybody did opine against not seeing the importance of informing VO will change their stance a bit. This same advise I tried to indicate earlier with referring senior's like our Qorax sir. We can always take calculative risk and might go through by chance but sometimes it could proved to be too costly which we don't expect for anybody in this forum...

Thank you Qorax and Fariza....Well I better do it by myself because my agent is very lax and does not care at all.....

I again stick to what I said earlier, however their is no harm in sending any type of info. to Visa Office, but it is not required in this case, unless called for.
But since you have recd. conflicting views on this, I would suggest you send the update.

Yes you are right Yukon, I searched a lot of information regarding this. It seems 50% told no need to do do and 50% said i have to. If I weigh the situation, there is no harm in sending the new Document and a letter about the changes.

Your ideas guys are highly appreciated. Thank you and God bless all.

Bloodmary,

As you noticed, there are different views. I suggest you read what EG7 States and you make up your mind. I'm coping from a thread and response by our colleague Pearl2010:

"Below is the link for ur reference.Read point(2) under Factors that facilitate processing
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG77.asp

make sure that you notify the Canadian Visa Office promptly of any and all changes to your mailing address, family composition, or any other information that is important to your application, such as additional education or work experience"

Thanks.
