Agreed. Thank you for that information and bearing with my question, as I have to come to your speed and intellect of understanding this complete immigration stuff. Much appreciated for your answers.
Though for the family of four, one needs to show canadian $22170 in the primary applicant bank account. My spouse would be the primary applicant and she had a good habit of saving the extra cash in her bank account. She used to move the funds to liquid mutual funds and equity mutual funds. Can we show the statement of the mutual funds for the availability of the funds. Or do we need to cash the same and put it in the saving bank account? Also, if we do the later, then how will we show that we have enough funds in hand for the period of six months or more?
I don't think you can show Mutual funds as POF. You can show cash in your savings account. Fixed Deposits are also accepted.
The 6 months requirement is to deter people from showing borrowed funds. If you can prove the funds are yours, it doesn't matter if the funds are one day old or 1 year old - Its all the same. Its just that the funds have to be yours and you must be able to prove that conclusively.
Second, neither my spouse nor I have the birth certificate (slightly old fashined, when BC requirement was not in demand). Are there any alternative for the same? We do have our 10th passing certificate from CBSE mentioning DOB (as we are from India). Rest all records have the same source for the BC.
No problem - You can submit a Letter of Explanation for this and submit alternative proof like your School Certificate etc,.
will continue to post the question, as I read the complete guide.
Sure, good luck!
Thank you,
Pawshi.
