What documents will I need for proof of funds?

[Hfarr94]

I am looking for answers on what documents I need to submit to my visitor visa application.

I have almost been in Canada for 2 years on IEC visa, My current work permit will expire on 26/06/19, I am currently working on my case with an immigration consultant to get a positive LMIA through my employer so I can then apply for a new work permit as I didn't qualify for Express Entry.

The LMIA process could still take a few months until we get a result so I am looking to apply for a Visitor Visa for 6 months whilst I wait for the results for the LMIA application, I have almost completed the application but I still have to upload documents for proof of funds.

My funds in my bank accounts as of now are low but I have around $8000 in an investment account which I will transfer to my bank account and my mother has said she will give me $4000 to help me fund myself while I'm on the visitor visa.

I understand that the immigration officers expect to see bank statements for the past 6 months and any recent large transactions can raise supspicions , what evidence do I need to provide to show this money is mine without raising suspicions from the immigration officer?

Thanks for the help in advance.

By definition, the money is not yours, if your mother is giving you $4000. It's a gift, certainly, but you haven't earned it.

I've read here that visa officers expect about $1000 per week of travel. You'll fall short on that.

In applying for a TRV, you are also expected to demonstrate why you will not overstay your visa. That will be a challenge as your goal is to stay in Canada longer.

Good luck.
