bellaluna said:A way out? You mean an exemption to the funds requirement? That would be arranged employment or an ITA under CEC.
Actually, the figure for 2 people has been updated to CAD 15,143: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
All you need is to show you have the total at the time of your application, no previous hold requirement. If you already have the 15,143 on hand, great.
I suggest you update your EE profile to the correct funds and only accept the ITA when you can prove it in bank statements, assuming you can't be exempted from the funds requirement.
More complicated is to list your wife as non-accompanying and sponsor her later, but that application takes a very long time.
No previous hold means there is no need to show 6 months old bank statement???? i currently have 17000 CAD .... can i apply if i get nominated within next coming draws????
