Help with gift deed please

[Ceyrahly]

Good day,

I reside in a different country from my father who wants to gift me some money towards my POF. Please how do I go about this? Do I have to sign on the gift deed too? The format I have seen so far requires the signature of the donor and the donee.

My uncle gifted me the funds and he resides in Malaysia

I consulted with an immigration lawyer and he came up with a solution, prior to this my uncle had already transferred the funds to my bank account in July and I consulted with the lawyer in October.

The lawyer suggested that I get a letter signed from my uncle stating that he has gifted the funds for my future settlement in Canada on his own free will and I do not have to repay it back to him nor to his family. Later, I signed a second letter stating that I received the funds gifted by uncle for my future settlement in Canada. I got both these letters stamped and notarized. Along with these two letters, I submitted an official letter from my bank that I have the sufficient funds in my account and 6 month statements. I even provided a LOE detailing the same.

As per the immigration lawyer, CIC only wants to know that you have not borrowed the money just for PR purposes but that you have genuinely received them for your future well being. So as long as you provide them with all the correct sources through which you received your funds you should be fine
