I received nomination from Ontario provincial nomination program (PNP), and thereby additional 600 points has been added in my profile. Now I am waiting for invitation through Express Entry in the next draw.


Now, I am preparing documents for submitting my PR application to CIC.

One of my friend's PR application was rejected due to sudden jump of money in his bank account despite submitting a letter from his father. This is worrying me!!

When I submitted my PNP application form, my father provided me $11,000 as gift. OOPNP has accepted it as a proof of fund.

Myself and my wife are working and our total salary is more than what we need to show low in come cut-off limit. In CIC website, I found the following instruction:

“Unless you are currently authorized to work in Canada and have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada, or you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, you must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada”

In my express entry profile I have mentioned $19,000 as a settlement fund (for 3 family members) .

Right now I have also received a notarized letter from my father stating that the amount is a gift and not a loan. The bank transaction records shows his account number, bank address, his home address, my bank address, and the amount.

My question are, Is there any other proof of documents I should submit to show the amount is a gift from my father and not a loan amount? Do you think I have to show fund more than the low income cut off, even though we both are working in Canada?

You seem to have a job, did you apply under CEC?

You might not need POF

I have the same concern... though we are FSW outland...

I have above minimum in my account
Then some in my spouse's account

And then I have got a gift of a large sum of money from my dad... large enough to count as a big jump..

But since myself and spouse have enough, I hope it is acceptable...
I think it should be the same case for you... if you can show enough in your account to meet the minimum, maybe its best to provide the LOE and letter from dad, just to explain the jump... but it should not (hopefully) cause any concern.... if you emphasize that your own personal savings/ salary amount meets the minimum required..

Also, since you are saying that the minimum is met by combining yours and your spouse's, I believe some members have suggested that you can transfer all the money into the name of the PA... usually that is better... a safer option... to make sure that the minimum is reflected in PA's account.... with a letter from spouse stating that this is not borrowed, and is for use for immigration purposes etc.
