Hello Cardinal 11:
I already raised that issue and the answer is even if your family members will not come with you initially to Canada, you still need to produce the amount needed for your dependants. "ACCOMPANYING DEPENDANTS" doesn't mean that they are your family members who will join you in Canada in your initial entry but it means that they are your family members whom you declared as your dependants whether they will come with you or not. In short, you need to provide the required proof of fund for all your dependants (family member) whether they will join you or not in Canada.
In my case, as of now I can only provide 10,000 CAD for me as the principal applicant (I have a daughter and husband as my dependants) but I am expecting to complete the money for the 3 of us next month so I am thinking of applying myself first. Until, I read a post in a forum that a woman who has a family with 3 members was denied to be nominated in Manitoba because of insufficient fund. She was wondering because she declared that her family will not accompany her in Canada that's why she provided only 10,000 CAD. I was surprised because I'm planning to do that as well but luckily I read that post. So, I made clarifications and found out that even if our dependants will not accompany us initially to canada, we still need to include them in our PROOF OF FUND. In your case, with 5 members of the family you need to show 18,000 CAD = 760,000 PHP).
