I got ITA during last draw. I am married but my spouse is not applying for PR with me. I have selected family member as 1 in my EE Profile as my wife is going to stay in India. I am confused about the funds that I need to show in my account, whether I need to have $12,164 or $15,143. This confusion is because of the line written below.
"You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you)."

It doesn't matter whether your wife and children are accompanying you or not, you need to mention them in no. of family members and need to show funds to support that number of family members.

I made mistake here, I have filled wrong no. of family members and amount of funds that I will bring. What can I do now?
