Hi there,

My process of Permanent Residence (as skilled worker) is now at the stage where I have to to pay Right of Permanent Residence Fee and send proof of funds.

I lived in Canada for 18 months. When I submitted my application to Detroit I was living in Canada. After 6 months of that I moved back to my home country.

I had my savings at a Canadian bank for the 18 months (with around $11,000 to send prood of funds at the first stage of my Permanent Resicence process), and then I transferred the money to my account in my country.

When I returned to my country, I bought a car with the money I transferred from Canada. Then, of course, my bank account savings got reduced to less than a thousand dollars.

Right now, immigration office in Detroit is asking me:

"Evidence of funds for settlement in the form of all bank account statements for the past TWENTY-FOUR MONTHS and evidence of source of funds"

Since I didn't have the $11,000 for the proof of funds, I had to sold my car and I just got to have more than $11,000 again to send a bank statement ONLY from the last month.

What should I do? Do you think is it enough a bank statement from the last month? or should I wait for 3, 6 or more months with the money in my account and send it later (with the obvious delay of my application process)? I hope not, since I am in the last stage and hopefully I will get my PR Visa soon, . Please help!

Better sell your car and deposit the money in the bank and get the bank statement for last 24 months as asked by the VO. Since VO has asked you the source of funds, you can send the notorised copies of your car transaction. Do not borrow the money at this stage now because VO is very particular about your source of funds. This is a crucial stage of your application processing, so deal with it wisely, don't play with it. BTW, soon or later you have to sell your car when you decided to move to Canada, so do it now.

Hope it helps.

All the best
