Thanks wayne...

But it is the second one.... my employer has helped me to show the fund in my A/c. He is ready to give an affidavit stating that he gifted me the money for the immigration purpose if they ask for the source.

I don not know whether it will be sufficient?

I have not received my 2nd AOR yet... and RBVO from 24th March has not changed to in process stilll..... I do not know what is happeneing exactly...
very much worried .........and waiting........

So you do not have to give this money back to your employer? It is now yours?

If that is the case, then you still have nothing to fear BUT - any large gift you will probably legally have to pay tax on in your own country.

Do you intend to pay the money back to your employer?

Dear Friends in Damascus Visa Office,

I have been checking Damascus VO activities during the past 10 days and it seems nothing special happened during that period. Is that true or some of you know of any recent activities of Damascus visa office?

Bahman

I can keep it with me till i land and settle in canada....Hope my process will go smoothly...

Right so by "till I land and settle in Canada" you mean after that you will pay it back to the company?

Which means the money is NOT yours and you have borrowed it.

Please read the following page at CIC:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
"You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your dependants after you arrive in Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to support the costs of living for your family."

Sorry, but I cannot really sympathise with you - you have cheated the system, and you are not eligible to immigrate because you do not have adequate funds. What is even more concerning is that the employer is willing to tell lies to CIC as well saying that the money is a gift, when it is not?

My sincere apologies if I have misunderstood you - but if I have understood you correctly and this is a loan from the company, then you and the employer are both guilty of fraud.

It is sad when dishonest people try to cheat the system, since it forces CIC to spend more time and be far more diligent to honest applicants.

Wayne.

Hi All,

Many of our forum members have not filled their profile and whenever they share any progress it is difficult to know their details immd.
I suggest that everyone should fill the profile column

In my opinion, if he cheats and succeed good for him, the immigration system itself is cheating, lying to us and so on and so forth. Especially about the processing time, they are telling big lies all the times. They say we are treating applications according to the way, the are received all lies, the process according to NOC.

This is just my opinion.

Well you are entitled to your opinion

But my opinion is that people who cheat the system force CIC and CHC/visa office to spend a lot longer on applications and slow the system down for everyone, not to mention the fact that it is illegal. Every hour at CHC spent on processing a dishonest, ineligible application is an hour not spent processing an honest, eligible application. And this is one of the reasons CIC are having to clamp down even further on immigration fraud.

Not only could this jeopardise this application and ANY future applications to Canada, but he and this employer could also face charges of fraud.

That is a very worse case scenario of course, in all likelyhood they will simply fail the application if they discover the money does not genuinely belong to him.

Just because CIC give inaccurate promises about processing times it does not excuse fraudulent applications.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

And why would you deposit the whole required POF in one day? Large deposits must be explained.
If it is your money you have nothing to fear, you just need to show the source of the large deposit. Where did it come from? If it is from another account of yours, simply show the statements from the other account.
As long as it is your money and you can prove it, you need not be concerned.
If you borrowed the money from someone for immigration purposes, then you are in trouble because you've defrauded CIC, so I hope it is the former!
Wayne.

I sent only one month bank statement with our application. We have received MR, RPRF & PCC without asking for further bank statement. Right now, we have eight months statement if they require it.

Do you still have the money on your account? They are asking for the statement to see that you had the money there for at least 6 months. They also check upon entry to Canada, and even with maple leaf you can be denied from the officer if you can't provide proof of funds

I don't think you are necessarily in trouble if he borrowed you the money. I mean there are so many questions there- did you transfer it from his account so his name is visible, or you deposited it under your name...I think it is more important that it is still in your account and that you have it when you enter the country (bank statement, traveler checks...). After that I don't think they really can do anything about it. They are certainly aware that people borrow the money for this, but they don't want it to be a short term, scam kind of borrowing....

That is at least how I understand it

I don't think it matters whether you put the money in at once or in bits. What is important is to prove the money is yours.
If you can prove that the money is a gift, maybe from your parents, and you are not expected to pay it back, then you should be okay. CIC prefers bank account statements rather than letters from the banks because you can obtain a letter if you know someone at the bank but statements actually show availability of funds.

I quite agree that if you receive a gift which you do not have to pay back, then this is fine for immigration purposes. As long as it IS genuinely a gift, and you DO genuinely never have to pay it back. Such a large gift will, of course, almost certainly have tax implications in your own country.

However, what bkcnbr has effectively said - unless I have massively misunderstood him in which case I apologise - is that he will pay this back to the employer after he's landed and settled in Canada.

Therefore it is NOT a gift and therefore he is lying to CIC, and so is his employer by drafting this affidavit stating that the money is a gift.

The reason CHC ask for bank statements is so that they can spot any large deposits and ask the applicant to explain them.
