Could I talk a loan from my bank
For the proof of fund
Is it ok or no
No, you cannot take a loan or show borrowed funds as proof of funds for migrating to Canada. The reason why CIC asks for 6 months bank statements is to ensure that the applicant has not taken a loan or borrowed money to meet the funds requitement.

No, CIC is not concerned with car loan or home loan. They are more concerned with the applicant having availed a loan to meet POF requirements. CIC wants to know that the POF that you are declaring originated from legitimate source - salary, savings, investments etc.

In case of home loan or car loan, these are secured loan, in the event of a default the lender has a charge on your assets (mortgage, hypothecation etc). So you need not be worried about your loans impacting your application negatively.

Yes, you can liquidate your investments in stocks and mutual funds and get the proceeds transferred to your bank account. To prove that the funds originated from your own investments, show mutual fund statement and stock holding proofs before liquidating the same along with proof of redemption. You. An submit these with a Letter of Explanation.

If the money is in your account for 6 months, no.

Yes you can, but you don't actually need to sell the stocks/MF - as long as your financial investments are convertible (easy to sell), you can include those statements with your bank statement as proof of funds - there's no rule that it all has to be in one account. (Simplifies things only, which is why a lot of people do it).
