That's what I was thinking. If father gifts me that money it will be mine money. So if I maintain that gift money in my account for 6 months. will that work???? will CIC ask my father's account statement to check how he got that money??? Too much confusion ???dobes said:Hold on! If your father GIVES you the money (and a notarized statement to say it was a gift and not a loan) you should be fine! There really is no problem with people giving you money to meet the requirement. You just can't take a loan.
