I recieved a procedural fairness letter regarding one of the bank accounts used as proof of funds. The account belongs to my husband. IRCC stated that they could not prove that I access to the account so required additional information.

In order to fix this we had tried for the bank to add me as a signatory but even if it's done, there will be no document from them that will show that I'm a signatory and the account will still bare just my husband's name.
We live in the US but this account is our home country. If we get an affidavit by my husband giving me the right to us the account as POF from here in the US will it be enough proof that I have access for IRCC. Also, what will the affidavit sound like
Please I would appreciate your advice @legalfalcon @andy108

He is listed as an accompanying dependent.
Then why is this an issue? We did the same thing. However, can’t you get a copy of the document used to add you as a signatory to the account? That should suffice.

Didn't you need a formal letter from the bank stating that you are a signatory?

When you said you did the same thing, do you mean you did just an affidavit ?

Just get an affidavit signed by your spouse stating that the bank account is in his name and that he has no objection in your using the funds in the account for the purpose of settlement of in Canada.

Not a big deal, and everything will be fine.

You do not need a formal letter from the bank, Just an authorisation from the account holder.

No formal letter. I simply submitted my account with the application; my spouse is the PA.

The affidavit just makes the statement sworn and more credible than just a plan formal letter, which also would work in most cases.
