Hi! I am new to this community and I’ve come across some really helpful answers on this thread. I am hoping someone would be able to shed some light on this topic -

I have an Indian HDFC bank account with money I have saved up from my salary (I saved up above the limit of 13K CAD required by IRCC). I am about to head to Canada August 2022 for my Masters and I plan on opening a Canadian bank account and transferring the money from HDFC bank account to this Canadian bank account. I plan on applying for my PR through FSW in August 2023 once I complete my Masters.
While showing proof of funds, do I have to explain how I have this money in my Canadian bank account in just a year considering I am not working while being a student in Canada ?
Should I show proof that this amount was transferred from my HDFC account a year prior and that is how I managed to have this balance in my Canadian account and maintained it during my Masters to show as proof of funds?
In addition, if I wanted to put this money in a GIC instead of just storing it in the Canadian bank account, would this be fine to show as Proof of funds?
 
Take it easy. Just keep the proof with you for the transfer of fund.
You can invest it in GIC. Not an issue.
