I have the required funds of just over $12,164 sat in my Canadian TD bank account. However, over the last 6 months I'd say my average has been around $8-10,000 as I was saving for PR.
My girlfriend who I met out here a year ago was in some credit card debt so because I was just sat on the money at the time and I figured I'd be applying for CEC not FSW, I gave her the money to clear her debt, and since then she has been paying my rent and giving me repayments on an infrequent basis when she has the money. Some injections by e-transfer have been $200, some $500, one was $2,900. This has kind of been my 'way' of saving the money up as I've not been touching these funds and have been using my UK cards since for small payments.
So.. from reading the thread I gather that the 6 month average is only needed by CIC to show my POF was not taken as a loan for the purpose of PR.
