Joint account with spouse

[Sn33ze]

The checking/savings account I hold at my bank has sufficient funds (more than 4 times the amount needed) but the account is held jointly with my spouse - in both our names. My spouse is applying for PR with me (I am the primary applicant)

Would CIC have a problem with this? Do I need to do anything such as obtain a gift letter from my spouse?

I've sent the six month statements and FD letter from 2 different Banks with both our names on the Joint Account Statements. The amounts are significant; however,I haven't sent any clarification on the LOE about this or have ai sent in any declaration from my husband about using these funds....isn't it understood? We are both applying for PR so shouldn't this suffice? Kindly clarify if anyone knows.....Thanks.

Dear Friends,

Could anyone let us know if we need to provide the declaration letter from spouse if we have a joint account? I've just sent in my application without any letter.....i have just sent Bank letters that show both our names as Account holders. Can Anyone who had experience with this please share... Thank you

Its good to get a declaration letter from your spouse that they are accompanying you in the application and have no issues with you using those funds..

A self-declaration from the accompanying spouse would be handy.
