My aunt told us about a couple who were granted LOA and now they are in MB already, whose Cash on Bank did not suffice the SF requirement, but they added their Certificate of Employment (that states the position description, monthly salary and allowances, and number of years and the approximate amount to receive upon separations).
We have Cash on Bank and other investments but if you sum them up, we were short of around CAD 2K (because our investments were still only around 2 months that time). We gambled ourselves (asked the management to provide us with the said documents) and include them as additional proof of funds and the amount accumulated is more than the required SF. I guess it was worth the risk
One drawback though was, for almost one year, hubby was not sent to any company-funded training, and I was not given the higher position which I applied for
. But still for me, it's worth the risk because if one door closes, another door and more windows open.
God bless us all
