Hi all,

I think my doubt here is very simple. Let's see.

When I created my profile in EE, I have informed 20k in the funds available. Now I got the ITA, (Yesterday), and I am eligible for both programs FSWP and CEC.

Now my question is that, do I need to provide proof of means for that 20k or as I was also eligible for CEC can I only do a letter of explanation + letter of employment + bank statements prooving my monthly salary deposit?

Also, as I said, I've informed 20k when I created my EE profile, now that I was invited to apply, they created a Permanent Residency application that is a copy of the EE profile, which asks again about the funds I would bring. (Though I am here already and working as Software Engineer)
So, can I decrease the value in the Permanent Residency application as I was eligible for CEC?

What is driving me crazy is that I know for CEC program you don't need to provide proof of means, but in my profile, it says I am eligible for both and as I informed 20k in the first place, I am afraid it will bump into some issue.

Federal Skilled Worker - Met
Canadian Experience Class - Met

It's been 2 years and a half that I work/live in Canada.
 
If you read your ITA you would see that you were invited under the CEC program. You need not provide proof of funds.

OMG! Sorry about that.. I haven't noticed it. I got the letter but as I was a bit nervous I did not read with all my focus :)

It clearly says:
Based on the information you provided us in your Express Entry profile, we are pleased to invite you to apply for
permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Thank you very much!
