I got a rejection letter over proof of funds! I submitted proof for cash in bank accounts, cash in a money market account, and stocks. They only counted the cash in my bank account and rejected my application for insufficient proof of funds. All my funds together i submitted about 17, 000CAD.
I sent them a webform stating that I plan to submit updated proof of funds within 7-14 business days. I am shocked that they decided to reject the application rather than state that they had an issue with that I submitted. The refusal letter was also super strong, stating that my RPR fee would be refunded and that the decision was final. It said that If i wished to reapply I would have to start all over again...does that seem right?
Does anyone think I will have a chance for them to continue the current application once I submit my new bank records after moving the money as well as providing an appeal letter?
Hi! That’s very unfortunate! How many people do you have in your profile as dependents? And If I may ask, how much amount did you show in your bank account?
I ask this because I have known someone from a WhatsApp group who had a non-accompanying spouse. In the case of a non-accompanying spouse, you are still supposed to show funds for 2 people but due to lack of knowledge, he showed proof of funds only for himself.
Luckily, thinking of currency fluctuations he decided to keep some extra amount in his bank account this total amount fell short by only 200-300 CAD than the amount required for 2 people.
His application was approved and he did not have any problems. This however, may be because he was the only person who was travelling and his spouse was not coming to Canada. So may be they cut him slack. Hope this helps.
