Check your visa office specifications, some visa offices are accepting property as POF and some not. Normally they want cash in bank, no property. Stock fluctuate all the time, how can its fix value can be assessed. There had been cases where the visa had been declined on the ground that POF is short by $100.

Most of asian visa offices do not consider property as POF, if it is given they ask for POF again.

Dear All,

Can you please solve the following confusion for me. I received interview waiver and medical forms from the Canadian Embassy. The letter also states that I have to prepare the proof of funds, but do not have to send it until further notice (let me also point out that I provided my proof of funds while submitting the full package of documents). The last paragraph of the letter provides that upon receipt of satisfactory medical results, all outstanding documents and upon completion of background checks, they expect to complete assessment of my application (so, they do expect to receive certain documents from me).

At the same time, they also attached to the letter the proof of settlement funds form which indicates that I have to fill it in and attach suppotying documents.

Now I am worried that they may actually expect me to send the proof of funds documents before they can proceed further with my application.
Can you please advise me if I should send them the proof of funds documents?
Thanks a lot in advance for your comments.

3 MONTHS old savings account statement is enough, even fresh funds are enough if you explain it that you got it by selling your property.

Bank details are always verified by CHC.

Sir,
1) Fresh funds explanation also require proof of sellind documents or deeds etc of property which was sold or just we have to give affidavit that this fund is generated from property selling?
2) How CHC verify Bank Details?
3) What is the best explanation of Funds transfered from father's account i.e. Part in property that is transfered from Father to Applicants account? ----OOORRR----
money is a GIFT from Father to Applicant for his personal usage for immigration?

Please reply and best wishes

hi chef

To be on the safe side, be sure that the funds are there until you arrive in Canada. My aunt migrated to Canada about four years ago and we never removed the funds in the bank until she landed.

i need your help please. i will be submitting my full documents this June but im having a problem regarding my proof of funds. i just opened my US dollar savings account last May 2010 and my sister from the USA sent about US$10,000 there for my additional proof of funds and since it is a new account, i withdrew the money and placed it in time deposit account maturing on june 21, 2010 with the intention that the visa office won't trace it if it was placed in time deposit account but i noticed in the personal networth statement that you have to put the date of initial deposit so maybe they will still be curious on where the money came from. by the way, aside from this i also have a peso account opened in 2006 but the amount there is not enough to cover my proof of funds. can i still submit my newly opened account even if my account was just opened a month ago and the money is barely 1 month in my account? or i will just terminate my time deposit account and deposit it to my old peso account? won't the visa office ask on the big amount if i deposit it to my old peso account? which is more advisable? but if you'll try to look at my earnings, stated in my certificate of employment for the past 4 years, it is more than enough to cover the minimum proof of funds of CAD 11,100 since my current annual salary is Php 480,000 and the peso equivalent of CAD 11,100 is Php 488,400. it is just that i lent most of my savings to my friends and until now i can't collect the principl from them that's why i needed to ask help from my sister. hope you could enlighten me on this matter. thank you so much.

I believe accompany spouses bank statement is fine.
In my case I was asked once again to submit my statements for the last 6 months for POF and also submitted bank statements of my wife and kids as well. Every dollar counts i reckon and since they too will accompany me think that it should be accepted.

I was advised in the letter that i needed to prove that any large deposits into the account was indeed mine (i guess this was to avoid my friends and family boosting up my account for the POF ) so you may be asked to explain where the USD10,000 came from and how it is yours
