Well, lying about it is not good either.

You can change it to 0 or the actual amount you have, doesn't matter. When you submit your e-APR, instead of uploading the proof of funds documentation, you upload a LOE instead.

"Note: You do not have to meet the funds requirement if you were invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class.

The system currently asks all applicants to provide a proof of funds document. If you don’t need to provide proof of funds, you must upload a letter explaining either that you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, or that you have a valid job offer."
