Hi Everyone,

Please help with the below;

  1. I have a FD which is borderline 6 months old (created on 22nd Feb 2018) and I am planning to submit my ITA application by Sep 1st Week 2018
  2. I got a bank letter on bank letterhead as below; is this OK? The bank letter does not mention my FD number, however it does mention my savings account number, should this be OK? I had the savings account since 2013 and the letter did not mention the FD opening date.
  3. I will also include a color scanned copy of the FD
  4. Should I include six months FD statement?
  5. Should I include savings bank account statement for six months?
  6. I am also planning to attach my salary slips for six months as supporting documents, is it fine
  7. I received the bank letter in below format with the below details, is this OK?

Hi Guys,

Urgent help sought...
My Dad has created an FD 5 months ago which is around 20 lks. And the source being his account but on my name in SBI. The FD is bearing my name and Pan number. We can get a statement from the bank that on maturity the amount will be credited to my account in SBI.
Also I have a gift deed from my dad stating the same that my Dad has unconditionally given the FD (created from his SB account)

My account in SBI is a joint account with my spouse who is my co applicant.

Is the gift deed proof enough for POF?
Do you see any challenges before I submit my application. I ALREADY have the ITA and am due to submit all proofs next week.

Please help!!

Hello Everyone,

I got FDs in the month of March 2018 and submitted my application in April 2018; got my Visas and now migrating to Canada on 2nd October 2018.
Have a few doubts about Proof of Funds:
1. Please suggest, if FDs can be shown as 'proof of funds' during the landing process in Canada.
2. I checked on this forum that in case of more than 6-months old FDs, we need not show the source of funds.
Please advise, if 'more than 6-months validity of the FDs' counts from - FD opening date to submission of the application (April 2018) or FD opening date to final landing in Canada (October 2018).
3. I & my wife are moving to Canada, that makes the two of us as the bearer of the funds - 8.5 lacs INR.
Please advise what means should we use (eg. - Drafts, Cheques, Travel Cards, Cash or others); Which is more cost effective, easy to use & liquidate as well as safe to carry?
Also, in what proportions should the funds be divided if we should opt for more than one of the above means.

They normally don't ask for POF at port of entry. They will just ask how much funds you have access to. Tell them the entire amount not just how much you are currently carrying.
