Thanks Asivad Anac.

If I include a LOE along with last 6 months bank statements (it shows both my Savings bal. as well as FD bal.) will it work?
That would suffice.

Hi Asivad,

Request your inputs on the following points:

1) In case I book an FD after receiving an ITA,for the entire amount required to be shown as POF , will that be a problem ? I mean is there any vintage requirement for the fixed deposit?

2) Also will CIC require the source of funds for my fixed deposit? In case I provide an affidavit stating that I received a gift from my father for the same , will that suffice ? Also would CIC ask for my father's bank statement in that case to understand the source of those funds in my father's account?

3) Instead of my father could my aunt provide an affidavit stating that she has gifted me the funds to book my fixed deposit ?

Thanks in Advance !
Kunal.

CIC asks for 6 months average balance to verify if the funds are unencumbered. A recent fixed deposit can be questioned - the onus lies on you to establish that the funds aren't borrowed.

2) Also will CIC require the source of funds for my fixed deposit? In case I provide an affidavit stating that I received a gift from my father for the same , will that suffice ?

That would suffice. They are bothered about source of funds only to the extent of the funds not being borrowed by the PA.

3) Instead of my father could my aunt provide an affidavit stating that she has gifted me the funds to book my fixed deposit ?

Yes.

Thanks in Advance !
Kunal.

Hi Asivad Anac,

One more question if my spouse(who is accompanying me) transfers funds from his sole account to my account, still a declaration that it is a gift would be required. I am the primary applicant.

Thanks in advance

Silly as it sounds, Yes. Funds have to belong to the PA without being encumbered by anyone.

PF is not a guarantee that you will receive after leaving job. It may gets deduction if you have requested for a loan from a company or unable to serve notice period. On accrual basis this money belongs to you and will be credited to your account. Unfortunately cic consider pof on cash basis, investments do fall as part of pof because the amount can be readily available or liquidate at any stage when required but you cannot liquidate pf.

Make sense?

Anything in the bank is fine. Shares and provident fund won't work as POF.

Hello!!
We recieved ITA and trying to fill up application now. The biggest issue is proof of funds. My husband is main applicant and we have to submit his bank account statement as POF but the problem is that we usually are using his salary to pay for all the bills and use my bank account as savings account. So what we have now is around 3000 CAD on my husbands account and more than enough money on my personal account. Would it be a problem? Can we submit my bank account statement as POF? Or should i transfer the money to my husbands account? Won't it be suspicious where all that money came from? Did anyone face any similar situation? We would really really appreciated some guidance or advice at the moment!!

Unfortunately, No. CIC asks for cash in the bank as POF.

Thanks
