No worries. Yeah my spouse also makes less in his home country but as long as your combined resources are $10,000 in account you should be ok. That's what my friend who is an immigration consultant told me. I will ask if there is any change though due to new regulations.
In our case PA is unemployed, I have less than 10K in bank account but I also showed TFSA, which I can withdraw from at any time, which has over 100K in it. Bank account shows monthly salary. Hopefully TFSA is acceptable; I could easily withdraw from TFSA to have high bank account balance but it seems pointless.
I basically wrote: we will live together in my house, and my salary will cover all her needs and expenses during her visit, but I also have TFSA with 100K+ if needed. Hopefully that's fine.
