Hello Experts,

Please, help me answering this question. Firstly, I have been living in Canada me, and my wife for the past five years, however, i was on a study permit, and i recently finish my studies and got a job here in Canada (Not with an LMIA). Currently, i'm working under a Post graduate work permit (again, no LMIA). I have less than one year of work experience in Canada, that's why i can only qualify for Express Entry (Federal Skilled work category). My family size is 3. So, it is required to provide at least we have $18,825. I don’t have that much money in my own personal bank account, however, I can provide proof for that amount ONLY if I provide bank statements for both me and my wife (We don’t have joint accounts though ).

My wife has 50% of this amount in her bank account in her home country, and I have the other half in my bank account here in Canada.
Will that be okay? (Note: my wife is also applying with me, but not as the main applicant, and she can’t be the main applicant)
