Hi guys, I am at CRS 469 expecting ITA in next few draws (or hoping for one atleast). I have all my documentation in order but as my funds have not been in the same account for 6 months and moved between my investing account etc and also got my parents to transfer money with a gift deed, if it is possible I would like to avoid the PoF requirement so my application is more straightforward and less chance of rejection. Is there any risk of editing my available funds to 0 so I get eligible only under CEC, it will not lower my chances of getting an ITA right?

Setting funds to zero does not impact your chances for receiving an ITA. This is based on CRS points alone.

You can safely set funds to zero - many others have done this before.

No, CEC candidates are exempt from the minimum funds requirement that usually applies to FSW candidates.

That's why it guarantees an ITA for CEC if you get selected in a draw because it disqualifies you for FSW, but keeps your profile eligible for CEC only.

Can i put funds to zero after receiving ITA? My score did not change but FSW was not met anymore. IS this fine as I want to be assessed through CEC? I received the ITA through PNP draw

Hi. I was invited through PNP under express entry. Do I need to provide POF? I met both CEC and FSW. I applied PNP under Human Capital priorities stream-CEC. Do i Need POF for that? Or can I chnage the funds to 0 in my application? It will change my eligibility to FSW as not met. But I still meet the CEC category.
