Proof of fund

[enigmatic99]

As per CIC website,
you do not need proof of funds if you are currently:

• authorized to work in Canada and
• have a valid job offer

As I have Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) (recently completed 2 years masters) here in Canada but till date I am not working, so I don't have any income. I am planning to apply for PR based on my previous work experience back home. So do I need to show any proof of fund when I apply?

yes, if you do not have a job offer.

If you don't have 1 year work experience in Canada, then you will not come under CEC category. For all other categories, without a valid job offer, proof of funds is a mandatory document.

If you don't have 1 year of continuous work experience in Canada, then you will not come under CEC category. For all other categories, without a valid job offer, proof of funds is a mandatory document.

The bolded part is incorrect, in order to meet the MEC work experience need not be continuous under the CEC program.

Hi, guys I have a question, I understand that I need to show bank statement of balance as well as transactions of 6 months period as a proof of fund. Does this need to be from salary or it can be like family support ( parents providing financial support so that I can deposit 1500$-2000$ every months to have average balance of 12500$

Hi!
My husband started a job in April 2018 and we got our invitation in June. Do we still need a proof of funds if he is working in Canada already?

Thank you

Yes unless he has a valid job offer.

He is working right now in Canada, no need of job offer, right? Because he is already working, i have the letter of his employer with the salary amount.

Working in Canada is irrelevant, either he needs to be a CEC applicant or have a valid job offer in order to be exempt of having to provide proof of funds.

I am in US and my father is going to provide me gift deed from India to my Indian bank account. So is it compulsory for me to be in India to prepare the gift deed(for signing the gift deed)? Or is it ok to that he transfers money to my account and prepares gift deed with only his signature?

I'm sorry i am still confused. He has a letter from his employer indicating his salary, hours that he works (all info that CIC asks), he still needs a job offer. What is the difference?

Is he claiming the 50 points for having a valid job offer? If the answer is "no" then you must provide proof of funds.

I had my proof of funds gathered 1.5 month before I finally got ITA. Will these proofs from banks still be valid ?
