Thanks! This makes a lot of sense.

My husband and I are US citizens. We just received our COPR with an expiration date in October 2021. We are not in a position to move to Canada until 2022, so we were planning on a soft landing, which has been complicated by the pandemic, of course. Another complicating factor is that I am now...

I received my ITA a few days ago. The required documents include "Proof of Means of Financial Support". When I read the instructions for this document, all it said was that I need a letter from my bank. I was surprised to read that because the forums here had led me to believe that I will need...

There is a chance that it will cover the difference between what I have and what I need to have, so I want to play it safe.

Thanks! Is there any specific language they should use? And should it be notarized?

There is a chance that I might need the $1,000 to meet the fund requirement, so I want to play it safe.

I asked this in a separate post, but haven't received any responses, so posting the same question here: My parents want to give me a gift in cash of $1,000 USD, which I will deposit to my savings account. I want to make sure we have documentation that this cash deposit was a gift and not a...

I live in the US. My parents want to give me a gift in cash of $1,000 USD, which I will deposit to my savings account. I want to make sure we have documentation that this cash deposit was a gift and not a loan. I have seen a lot of talk about "gift deeds" in these forums, but these are very...

I had this thought as well but I just checked my account. For the last month, the monthly end-of-statement was about $2,000 (USD) greater than the daily mean. Maybe that was because of a large expense (home repairs) and then direct deposits from employers? In any case, it seems like everything...

Thanks for the clarification! The mean of our monthly end-of-statement balancese will be fine, but I don't believe the mean of our daily balances will be large enough. There are days in the month when our balance is quite low and then it increases later in the month (due to our income...

My husband and I are planning to enter the Express Entry pool in the near future. (A huge thanks to the folks on here who recommended a soft landing!) We are trying to figure out our proof of funds. We have a joint checking account and a joint savings account with the same bank. The bank issues...

Wow! I had no idea! Is this what a "soft landing" is, as described by another user?

Thank you! Could you please explain what a "soft landing" is?

We will have ECA and IELTS done by October. We are working on saving up the settlement funds, which probably will take until November/December. As I asked someone else, what if we are invited to apply and have to decline because one year from the date of the medical exam will be too soon for us...

Thanks for the response! Is there a disadvantage to entering the pool early? What if we are invited to apply and have to decline because one year from the date of the medical exam will be too soon for us to move?

It is mainly because we have family in Canada and we want to be closer to them.

My husband and I live in the US. He is a US citizen and I am an Indian citizen with a US permanent resident card (green card). We are planning to immigrate to Canada via Express Entry. Our CRS score is estimated to be about 480. Due to professional and personal reasons, we don't want to move to...
