How to submit Gratuity amount as Proof of funds?

[hnaz]

I work in UAE and my gratuity fund is double the amount required for settlement funds. However, I can access this fund only when I "resign" and I plan on doing that when I get visa.
So at application submission time I can only get a letter from employer certifying my entitlement to this fund, its duration 2012-visa date and amount.
-Will that work?
-Is this acceptable?
-Has anyone does this before?
All feedback is welcomed. I'd be especially thankful if a consultant or someone who has done this; comments. Thanks

Hi, for proof of funds I believe they have to be applicable at the time of application i.e. available when you apply not at a later date. Regards

The fund exists. I started my job in 2012 and am employed to date so its even mature. It's just that I can access it when I submit resignation here not before that. I will of course be traveling with same funds to Canada. Any idea which things I should ask office to explain in certifying document?

Hi,
I had the same query as i am also in Dubai, The advice given was the amount should be in your bank account when you apply for PR i.e., submit documents after receiving the ITA.

Does that mean I can't submit just a certifying letter about gratuity as proof of funds?
Secondly, kindly tell me from where did you confirm this? Thanks.

You cannot use the gratuity amount shown in the letter as POF. The settlement amount should be in your Bank account.

I wish this was accepted. Did u get a negative after applying to Canadian immigration or forums only?

After knowing here, i made other arrangements.

Ok. I'm still wondering what else maybe done. I have a family of 5 members so I need to show $26000 approximately. Any idea about credible lenders or investments? Taking a gift and gift deed from friend or relative isn't an option for me.

What i can suggest is, if you have made any investment ( house/stocks/mutual funds or gold jewellery) liquidate it and keep the amount in your bank account.
