Hi Vishalg,
I asked you about my car loan and if i need to declare it in my application, and you said they don't consider that in POF.
Thing is, I got my bank statement and it categorically shows the amount being debited is each month on a certain date is an "Auto-Loan". So I just want to double-check that CIC will not consider this as a liability and end up asking me for my Car Loan details to calculate if I am eligible after subtracting the loan.
Don't worry about it. It is not a loan for POF.
I asked my bank and they said it is unlikely immigration authorities will consider this a liability as a Car Loan is considered a "Consumer Loan" similar to Credit Cards, and that is not a major liability as, say a House Loan.
So I would just like for you to reconfirm that Car Loans are not considered a liability, and if possible, please let me know the reasoning behind it (as per your knowledge) so I can rest in peace.
CIC is only concerned about the loans taken for POF. CIC isn't looking for your net worth. And these loans will be paid off against your future income. Don't worry about it, a lot of people have home loans, car land and loans for consumer durables and they didn't face any issues for POF and got PPR, 'asivad anac' is one of them
Further, if it is not a liability, do I even mention it in the LOE?
Mention it as CIC has asked for it.
