Hi all,
So I finally received a call from OINP yesterday to interview me and let me know that I would be receiving an email requesting additional documentation. Shortly after the call and as promised, I received an email requesting additional documentation signed AB.
I have been asked to provide 6 months statements from the account in which my settlement funds are kept, which I have. However, I have been asked to explain and provide evidence of a large sum of money which I received from my father.
The thing is that my family holds a investment account with a private company that plays stocks on our behalf, but the account is in my fathers name. When funds are drawn from this investment, they automatically get put into my father's current account. I requested the funds which were then put into my father's current account which he ultimately transferred to my savings account.
My question is this - which of the following 2 options would be better for me to use? Which option would be safer and more of a sure thing going forward?
- I get a letter from the company who are managing our family's investment as well as a letter from my father confirming that the money is mine and the process it went through to get to my account
- I simply get my father to write and sign a gift deed and just say that he gifted me the money
Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
