Hi,
I applied as a single applicant last year and for POF, I showed the funds in the form of a gift from my father. I received my COPR sometime in October and November but I did not make my landing since I was getting married in January.
I requested to add my spouse after our marriage and my existing COPR was cancelled and I have been requested to submit further documents one of which is updated POF.
I had maintained those funds since last year until just last week or so when my dad needed some funds to meet some expenditures. I made three transfers to him and the total amount constitute about 25% of the amount that I had in my account.
I had planned before the transfers that to meet the additional POF threshold I would again show a gift from my father. When I made transfers and I was going to make further transfers, I realized that this might seem suspicious to the authorities that a I'm paying funds to my father who happened to be my donor when I had applied as a single applicant and then after a few days getting those funds and the additional funds required for the POF for 2 persons back from him again as a gift.
I fear that then CIC might question the legitimacy of the funds as to whether they really arr a gift or they might ask as to why did I make any outflow when the funds were strictly kept for settlement in Canada.
A possible solution that I've thought of is not to take the funds from my father but instead take them from my grandfather which might not raise that much suspicion
I have about 14 days to submit the documents and I'm really worried as to how best to deal with the situation.
Can anyone help or share his/her experience.
Regards.
