Hi,
Planning to apply for noc2132 in fsw 2014. need to show 18097 CAD$ for three of us in the family.

The fact is - there is no clarity anywhere unless someone who has used PF as POF can assure you of that.

The only thing CIC mentions is that the funds must be 'unencumbered' and suggests that it be readily available. As far as I know - PF is not easily liquidated as their are some regulations involved.

Hi

I have recently submitted my application for FSW with my Employee PF and Public PF enclosed as proof of funds. Looking at these posts, it seems I did a mistake and CIC won't accept these as proof of funds .

Is there a possibility of correcting this, or is CIC going to reject my application straightway? Can I send them some revised information or proofs with more relevance.

Regards
Vik

Hi Vikas

before you make a move, I would recommend you first seek other opinions in the FSW 2014 timeline.

If other members suggest the same as me, then you will have to start sending "additional documents" if it is at all feasible for POF.

It's always a good practice to show POF as liquid cash. Through bank account statements. But I think you should wait until you hear back from visa office unless you can show other sources. Apart from this, CIC website has a link to reach out to every visa office via email. Try that option.

1 - Assets = Settlement Funds + Assets in Other form (Property/Investments/Gold etc). Therefore Assets - Liabilities is NOT equal to settlement funds.
2 - If UK was your country of Residence (while India is your Country of Citizenship) you do NOT need to list the travels you undertook between UK and India while you were a resident of UK (under student VISA).
3 - If duties form is too small use an Additional page. Mention the title of the form along with your full name on TOP with the question number that you intend to fill
