If I mention no work ex for my spouse in Pre-ITA phase, won't that be misleading of facts ?
No. I thought so too, before getting advice in this forum.
But look at the official stament from CIC below. As you can read, the purpose on the PoWE is to prove your claim for points. You can even see at the end how it states that PoWE for the spouse is only needed when you're claiming work experience in Canada. Since it is stating that, you can also asume that you don't need to state the work experience of the principal applicant for the jobs he or she's not claiming points for.
You should, as I told you before, declare everything in your personal history, but that's after receiving your ITA.

Here's an extract from this link (Requirement to submit a complete electronic application):
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

___
Proof of work experience
Purpose

To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements
  • The personalized document checklist in applicants’ online account prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
  • At the completeness check, the processing office determines only whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.
The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

Individuals who must submit this documentation
  • The principal applicant
  • Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)

Could you explain what you mean by "the date of application"? Is it the date I receive the ITA or the date I entered the EE pool?
Date of Application is e-APR date, which is basically the date when you send all your documents electronically. That's after receiving your ITA.

When you do the e-APR you should have the money for 6 months in an account and/or have a gift deed for the amount or any large inflow that got you to the stated amount. When you receive the CoPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence) the funds must be above the amount you stated. And, as Bill said, if there's a large amount of inflow (say, you sold your car or your house), you should be able to explain it, with proper documentation.

So, the money needs to be in my account for at least 6 months before the e-APR date. Right?

If you do not have a gift deed for it, it should.

You could, however, give the money to your father and have him transfer it to you and make a gift deed to match the transfer date/amount.
Because what they want to know when they ask for the money to be be in the account for a minimun of 6 months, is to be sure that the money belongs to you, and no one else. And, when you present a gift deed, you're actually saying the same, without having to present further evidence. Only do this if the money is indeed yours. It is a very bad idea to ask for a loan, as that's exactly the thing they want to prevent candidates from doing.

I need to submit POF documents for 6 months preceding the AOR?
Only average balance for the 6 months is required or else you can submit 6 months statements. The Minimum Balance is required at the time of application till the issuance of CoPR.

However, if you have any amount added in the last six months for the purpose of immigration then you need to explain it with proper evidence.

Gift Deed is not mandatory but is the most effective evidence. Alternatively, you can have Affidavit on a legal papers duly stamped and certified, or you can show statements of the person giving you money along with their affidavit.

there is only one place where you can't fi

there is no such rule that you have to have the money ($12500 or more) for '6 months' in continuation.
Dear Yogesh,

They don't specifically say it must be in its entirelly for 6 months, but they ask for the average balance of the last 6 months. If there's a lot of fluctuation, they can ask for more proof.

Look below in Bold letters (from link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp ).

Also, from these forums, we've come to know of people who have been rejected precisely because the funds didn't have enought time in the account.

___
Proof of funds
Purpose

To confirm whether the applicant meets the low-income cut-off (LICO), assessed by the amount of money they hold compared to the number of people in their family

Document requirements
  • The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.
    • o The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.
  • Other documents may also be requested, as necessary.
