Dear Qorax and Seniors
I wanted to share a debatable issue which is still having 50, 50 agreeability on our entire forum. I have seen in Proof of Funds, stock option will be considered or not, on this particular topic many senior members also thinks it will not be considered as valid one. But when i mailed to CHC New Delhi with similar question I got following reply.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
The amount of funds you need to have in order to settle in Canada depends on the size of your family. The funds must be available to you and transferable to Canada. They must be unencumbered by debts or other obligations.
Number of family members
Funds required
1
$11,086
2
$13,801
3
$16,967
4
$20,599
5
$23,364
6
$26,350
7 or more
$29,337
Acceptable proof of funds are:
-bank accounts in your name or the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable investments in your name or the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable fixed deposits in your name of the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner.
Not acceptable are:
-bank accounts in someone else's name;
-bank accounts which are joint in your name and someone else (other than your accompanying spouse/common-law partner);
-bank accounts in the name of your spouse who is not accompanying you to Canada ;
-property valuations;
-vehicle valuations;
-jewellery valuations.
You are not required to carry your funds in cash when you arrive in Canada. You are, however, required to show documentary evidence that you have the funds available (in bank accounts or cashable investments), and that they can be transferred to Canada.
A port of entry officer in Canada may seek to confirm these funds before granting you permanent residence along with your dependants.
If you have arranged employment in Canada, you do not have to meet these financial requirements. Arranged employment means that you have an offer of indeterminate employment from an employer in Canada. You must be either currently working in that employment on a work permit in Canada, or have been issued a labour market opinion has must have been provided by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). In order to be exempt from the minimum funds requirement, the offer of employment must be genuine, the employment must not part-time or seasonal, the wages offered must be consistent with the prevailing wage rate for the occupation, and the working conditions must meet generally accepted Canadian standards.
We trust that this information will be of assistance.

My question is Wont this sentence" clearly indicates -cashable investments in your name or the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner; that stocks will be considered as valid option?? But still there are lots of different views on this.
I have my allmost all savings in stocks. I just got my AOR. Can you people suggest me also no what should be step for showing POF.
Looking for reply from special Qorax and other seniors.
