Gift deed - Notarize or not?

[Sabeen99]

Yes I have all other documents ready, so will proceed with them. Thanks again!

I would suggest you to skip it then, as long you have other documents that you attach...
-Signed gift deed letter between you and family member
-bank statement of your and and your family member(to show the transfer of funds between both accounts)
-passport copy of the family member(to prove the relationship)

Hello, I am also in the same boat right now, could you please tell me how things went for you guys? is it okay to submit just signed letter along with other supporting documents?

I was not based in Dubai when I applied for PR application but imho you don’t need to notarize the gift deed

currently, I am in Canada. I talked with an immigration lawyer and he told me that it would cost almost 200$ only to prepare gift deed, so if it is not compulsory then I will also simply make a letter from my sister and signed off.

What’s your current status in Canada are you on a Work Permit and working in Canada ? If that is the case it qualifies you as a CEC and you do not need to show proof of funds...

Ok so since you are here, I would really suggest you not to waste money on notarizing the gift deed. Please make sure information is detailed enough in your GD letter and supporting documents (e.g. a bank transfer receipt or bank statement etc.) that officer will be able to coorelate the flow of money. Do highlight in your letter that money is from your parents or siblings etc, which can then also be visible in the transfer receipts or bank statements

Do I need to submit bank statement of my sister's too? My sister is providing me the money as a gift.

Although it is not necessary, but to leave little or no doubt in officers mind that transaction is genuine if I was you, I would provide the statement...

Hi guys
I was wondering if using a gift deed as pof would raise suspension or is it acceptable as a pof for ee by cic
Did anyone try it and got through?

So how did it go? Anyone could share on their case without the notarization?

thanks, this is a great news!

could you also tell your gift amount in relation to the whole POF? What percentage was gift deed?

Almost the whole POF amount was gift deed, I don't think there is any limit on that.

Did u provide a screen shot of the transfer for the gift deed or did you just declare which bank account it came from? Did they ask to verify the transfer

I recently got PPR. I used gift deed for PoF. I submitted gift deed letter in plain paper (without notarized/afadavit), bank balance certificate+ 6 months statement, transaction slip, photo of cheque.
