Can my grandmother be my 'sponsor' in the Proof of Funds?

[arnoldxuaz]

Hello guys,

I am applying to Express entry, but I don't have enough money for Proof of Funds. Can my grandmother write a letter and saying she will be responsible for my expenses ?
So, if I use her Bank statement and her letter, is OK for proof of funds?

Thank you.

No, she is not immigrating with you. The funds have to be readily available to you. She can gift you the money through a gift deed.

As mentioned above, the funds needs to be readily available to you without any strings attached.
If you are going for a gift deed, the funds will need to be transferred to your account and show the transaction proofs.
Best practice, try not to show the entire POF as a gift deed.
