According to CIC :

"You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you).

You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate"
.

If your funds are in a joint account with your parents, you should separate it to your own account to prove that it is your funds. But it can be in a joint account of your spouse or in your spouse's alone individual account if the spouse is also accompanying.

hello,
how about if a affidavit signed by the parents attached with the bank statement showing that all the amount belong to the applicant. because transferring and making another account and preparing bank statement will take at least 6 months and i am afraid cap will be reached till that time. kindly give suggestions.
