Hello Everyone!
as per CIC requirements after ITA, you need to show, bank statements and account history for the last 6 months.
But the problem is nobody here in my country keeps their savings in bank accounts. Not a stable economy.
I can without a problem show a bank statement and history but the transactions will show 0, the day when i got a bank letter i put my money 22,000CAD but took it back the second day?
How can i show a 0 balance and 0 transaction bank statements? is a letter of explanation helpful in this case? and anyone else have a similar issue.
The use of cards are only developing here.
Yes, in that case LoE is the only way to go.
Lets see it from CIC's POV for a change here.
Their obligation is they cannot let go a case (read application) without putting in black & white that PoF has been verified and found Ok or enough as per LICO. Their predicament is, even with an LoE what can be their basis to approve such a case w/o a valid documentation to prove that you really HAVE enough funds that are encumbered. (surely they can't just depend on your LoE on such matters, not out of any distrust but probably a no go situation for them)
One option that comes to my mind is if you can open a foreign bank account (say in Canada itself) and deposit the LICO amount there just to give them a documented proof (may not be for 6 months but lesser) along with an LoE for your situation, and IF probably their logical intelligence somewhere understands and forces them to accept this.
And let me tell you that's a big IF there.
That's my 2 cents...
Other forum members/experts please advice!
Anyway All the very Best in whatever you decide to go forward with...
