Info on PoF

[iamsfm]

Hello,

I am FSW-O AoR - Dec 2020. Recently received gcms and eligibility - not started.

I filed for EE through an agent and I submitted my bank statement (in Bank acc A) to show my salary deposits for a 3 year period. However, as I didn't have enough funds i.e 20000CAD (Family of 3) to support the PoF, I had borrowed money from my friend in a separate bank account (in Bank acc B) and submitted the bank letter from Bank B as PoF.

After AoR, I had returned the funds to my friend. My agent said that this won't be an issue and would certainly not cause a rejection. But going through this forum and reading posts about rejection I am now worried that my application might get rejected as well.

Can anybody confirm?

Yes, your application could be refused because of this. It's possible IRCC could ask for updated evidence of POF which you won't be able to show. You are supposed to maintain the funds until you land in Canada. It sounds like your agent isn't very experienced.

Thank you for your response. After going through the posts in the forum, I too thought of the same. How often does IRCC ask for an updated PoF? Can I do anything about this now i.e post AoR?

I can't tell you how often IRCC requests an update.

The only thing you can do now is get the money back into your account asap and keep it there until after you have been approved for PR and have landed in Canada.
