Hey everyone,
I have a question about the POF at the last, visa issuance stage (i am not at this stage, but better prepare beforehand)
from one of the forums i found that along with the passport request, the VO send this kind of request for POF:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Bank account(s): a proof from a bank or a financial institution confirming that you have on deposit in your name the above-mentioned amount in Canadian funds or equivalent (we only accept bank statements confirming accounts held in Canada, in any other Western country or in a local branches of banks headquartered in a Western country (Citibank, Raiffeisen Bank, etc.). You must submit an original bank statement (not a photocopy) or a fax sent to you directly from the bank. The bank statement must be in English or French, on a bank letterhead and signed. It should contain the following information: account number, account holder's name, amount and currency. In addition to each bank statement please provide a 6 month account transaction history. Please be advised that we cannot accept a bank statement issued more than 30 days before the submission of your current proof of funds.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
now the problem for me is that there is no way that i put the funds in a western bank, as all of the western bank branches in our country only work with corporate clients.
Could anyone share their experience in case they faced a similar situation?
Thanks!
