[h2omd]

Hi all

I am currently in Canada , on a study permit , just received my LMIA for a job offer but i still havent applied for a work visa . Over the last six months my average bank account is about 7000-10000 CAD , however we are a family of 4 and according to CIC i must have over 21000 . I have the ability to deposit cash in my account to reach over 21000 . im just afraid the i might be rejected because my average month bank account is less than 10000. I thought that my job offer with LMIA would make CIC overlok this issue but i am not sure. Another thing is that in my job offer it is stated that my annual salary will be on average 200,000 CAD . Do you think any of this might help me or am i screwed ??

Since you have LMIA, I dont think you will have to show proof of fund.


You do not have to show that you have these funds if:

you have a valid offer of arranged employment in Canada AND
you are currently working or authorized to work in Canada.

Apply for work permit and after getting that, you will be fine.

I already received ITA and the only thing holding me back on submitting my application is the proof of funds . applying for work permit will take time

So if you dont have work permit, you will have to show proof of funds.

yes, i understand . My real question is if i deposit CASH (not bank transfers or cheques) in my bank account will that be considered suspicious ?

you will have to provide proof of your fund.. like paystubs for your salary, or other sources.
