For those of you got invited under CEC,
I'm wondering what you put down for the amount of funds.
Has anyone put down the fund as ZERO?
Please share..
thank you..!!!!
You can put whatever you want. If you put 0, there wont be a field in the required documents to upload proof of funds. But even if you put some amount you can still just upload a plain statement saying that I am CEC and POF exempt ideally quoting CIC's own official link saying so.
I know of friends who put 0 or some who put random amounts - much less than the required one if they weren't Funds exempt.
Personally I did put 1000 (I was CEC + LMIA job) and uploaded a letter quoting both the references that I am POF exempt.
Upon landing I was asked the same question, how much funds. I said I am POF exempt. I was told they just need to put in a number, so I just gave the amount I currently had in my bank + spouse (which would have been significant but less than what would be required for the full family). Obviously there was no verification of this amount because of being exempt.
