Moving funds before PPR (to home country) ?

[Musikwala]

Hi all. Need all of your opinions on this one. I am currently waiting for PPR... waiting for 5+ months since AOR. I live in South Africa with my immediate family. I have shown my proof of funds from a South African bank over here.

If hypothetically now I simply resigned from my job here and went back to my home country India and decided to wait over there for this PPR, what happens then to the proof of funds?? If I move these funds to India, will I have to send proof of funds again to CIC? Worse still, will it delay this process further?

Anybody?

I just want to know whether moving funds before getting PPR is a good idea or not. Has anybody done it and not experienced further delays?

It doesn't matter where those funds are; you can move them around as you please.

After receiving your PPR, when you land in Canada, just bring a recent statement from whichever bank account you have your money in at that point.

CIC only care that you have it and that you have access to it to support yourself in Canada.

Thank you for answering. +1.

But then if I move it to an account in my home country, will I have to send them a new proof of funds?? I guess it would be good to do a CSE in that case and upload the new statement. But what about the 6 month history? There wouldn't be a 6 month maintained balance in that new account.

A CSE is not required. You still have your money, it is just somewhere else. CIC don't care about which bank it is in.

You can just move your money. You don't have to tell them.
