Hey guys,

My husband is the main applicant and we just received the ITA on Nov 2. We are independent (and outland) without PNP or job offer.

For the PoF requirement we have enough money but we saved that in an account with my name only (in order to have higher interest rates). When we check the PoF description we found that it is the main applicant(in this case, my husband) who should provide the fund proof. So we are thinking of several options:

1. Transfer money: looks ok. But doesn't meet the 6 months average balance requirement.
2. Make my account to joint account: depends on the bank.
3. Give both to CIC and explain: will this be acceptable?

What do you think is the best? Thank you for all your advice.

Anyone with similar experience? Please also share...

:)

I'd suggest either moving into partners account with a notorised letter from you indocating that it was his/joint funds, you allow him exclusive access to it and it was held elsewhere because of better jnterest rates.
Or put his name on your account with a similar letter saying he has exclusive rights to money.
