Dilemma - Proof of Funds :(

[sk1979]

Friends,

Here is my worry. At the time of lodging application, I submitted my bank certificate [no statements] of CAD$ 23,000 which was a little more than required for my family. Now, that I have already received my PER on 15-Nov-2014, my bank balance has dropped to CAD$ 10,000 since I had to use this money somewhere else. ???

Questions:

1) Do VO offices cross check with banks and ask for available funds during investigation?
2) Is it going to affect my application which is pending MR from VO?
3) Has anyone with MR also been asked to submit the recent bank statements/certificate?
3) I am planning to sell the jewelry in coming days to compensate the lessened amount? Do I have to show the invoice to back the big chunk of money added to my account? Do I have to attest or notarized the invoice before sending?

I would appreciate any responses.

Regards,
SK

It is safe to keep the same amount of funds as declared because it can be verified any time during investigation. The VO can investigate the details that have been provided at any time.

Thanks bro. I am planning to sell the jewelry in coming days to compensate the lessened amount? Do I have to show the invoice to back the big chunk of money added to my account? Do I have to attest or notarized the invoice before sending?

your are safe, VO wont verified the amount.
Plus, Bank will never give account details to third party without the permission on account holder.
if the bank do so, then it will be the crime.

At times it is seen that visa office sometimes request for last 6 months bank statement, so dont take chance, and atleast put money back with required amount according to your family members, gradually.

Brother,

VO can ask the proof of funds anytime, In the case of my friend he asked 3 times. So be prepared. 13000 CAD is a good amount. If you can justify that you have invested this amount or bought some property than show the papers. The same will be reflected in you account statement as well. Instead of selling jewelry at this stage, get it evaluated from certified valuer and keep the certificate along with the quote of buying back by some well known jeweler. This might help. Rest i believe that money belongs to you. So there is nothing to be fearful. VO just want to make sure that while landing you should have minimum amount with you so that you do not become a burden on Canadian economy. Also at the port of entry at any Canadian Airport you will have to show your funds in any case before entry.

Thanks

Amit

1- VO may cross check the account by asking to get a new balance record . You are not safe , you half away of your immigration dont take such stupid risks ( Sorry iam talking like a brother ) .

2- Of course it may . Fix the mistake asap .

3- Many .

Again 3- , 4- Not bad idea , May help if worth come to worst .

Good luck .

I would suggest, do not put huge amount of money all of a sudden, put it gradually over the period of months, you just have received PER so it stiill takes time for visa office to start on your application and verify

Hi friends,

I had transferred funds in my bank account 1.5 months ago,

Now I want to send my application in the mid december,

it would be 2.5 months with the funds,

so should I send the 2 months bank statement OR the Bank Certificate is enough at this stage?

Thank you very much friends for taking time in replying to my queries. Love you all :-*. Crux of the story seems like that I need to maintain the required funds in the bank till I land . Well, I am going to work on this then ;D. The huge drop was because I am investing in a property these days and paying handsome installments.

Secondly, I gave a call to my cousin who is a Branch Manager at one of the reputed banks in Pakistan and he confirmed that sometimes he receives official letters from immigration authorities inquiring about applicant's account details . And he is obliged to respond to such queries and cannot ignore them. However, such cases are very rare.

Lastly, I was looking at the trend for FSW2014 applicants who have received MR by doing a random google search and it seems like they were not asked about POF at that stage. The only incidents I hit upon were from FSW 2013 and earlier where complete application processing time spanned over years and applicants were asked about refreshed POF at much later stage. This is my quick glance and could not be a fact.
