Need helps on Proof of Fund

[samller]

Hi everyone,

I received ITA around end of August under FSW. When i created EE profile around Janauary this year, i didnt know that i had to have 12k cash in my bank account for 6 months. Here is my situation.

1.Me and my girl friend created a Joint account together in May, the purpose of this account is a saving for us to get a condo in future. From May to August, this account holds around 10k cash.
Please note that she is not my common law parnter as we dont live together and i did not mention her name in my EE profile.

2. My personal account balance is around 6-8k each month ( from Feb to Aug).

My question is, would CIC consider 50% cash in that joint account belong to me? Should i attach a letter from my girl friend to explain that i have all the rights to use the money in our joint account when i submit my PR application or should i just wait until CIC asked me?

Thank you in advance everyone.

Attach that letter and, in your case, get it notarized because she isn't either immediate family or part of your application.

Thank you for your help. Do i need to use any specific format to state that notary?

Thanks again.

The format isn't nearly as important as the content and the content is just this - this is an individual who is not part of your family or your application but holds a joint account with you and they are signing a self-declaration that they have no reservations against you utilizing 'X' amount of funds from that joint account to showcase as your POF. The act of notarizing gives this a certain amount of authenticity as well.

Thanks again for your help. This proof of fund has driven me crazy for a month to figure out what to do. Hopefully they wont pin point on this too much as i am employed and have stable income to maintain my living cost.
