Correct, if you have had that much liquid funds, you would not have needed mortgage in the first place.
Mortgage or home loan or auto loan is a secured loan, in the event of a default, the lender has a charge on the asset. CIC is not concerned about these, they are more concerned if the applicant has availed a loan to meet the POF requirements, which I believe is not the case with you. If you choose to mention it or it shows in the transactions, it will not impact your application.
