Hey guys.

So I submitted my application tonight, and after realized that I forgot to add my letter of explanation explaining why my bank balance is lower than what they say it should be for my application. The explanation being that I'm applying under CEC and don't need to show a balance.

I have a two part question:
1) Would that be an issue? Would the officer realize that it's a CEC application and just not worry that the balance is lower than "required"?
2) I remembered that the amount that I stated that I would be coming to Canada with (which I'm not since I've been in Canada for the past 6 years) is more than I have shown in my account, but it'll probably be how much I have by the time my application is processed. Would that also be an issue, or have any direct connection to what my bank account should be showing or what they expect it to be at?

I know all of this is moot since I've already submitted the application and I can't fix any of these things anymore, but naturally I can't get it out of my mind, so I'm just hoping that I get some amount of reassurance (if there is any) that it'll be fine.

Thanks guys!

You should send the Letter of Explanation using the webform (formerly case specific enquiry, or CSE).

Cool I just did that!

Thanks for the tip. I hope they accept it cause they say that you can use the form if it's out of normal processing time and other requirements for the form.
