Hi all,

Am finding this infor re;lating to proof of funds very unclear...

In the guidelines it states: "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" (ie. $11824 for just myself)

So do I need to get something signed from the Canadian visa office in my country before I send proof of funds in my application to Sydney,NS ??

Would a screenshot/ print out of my bank balance suffice as proof of funds?
What about a screenshot of the balances in two different bank accounts?

Is a credit card with a $10,000 limit proof of funds?

When exactly do you have to show proof of funds?

I was under the impression that I send my whole application package with all docs to central processing in Sydney, nOVA sCOTIA, and that I do not do anything through my own visa office?

Can anyone clarify any of this?
 
You need to collect a bank certificate from your bank that converts the currency into Canadian dollars or in case of online bank statement you need to stamp it by the bank. I think, the money in Credit card is not your money and you can't show that money as yours.

No - this won't be accepted as proof of funds. You must prove you already have the money - not that you can borrow it.

You need a certified statement from your bank. A screenshot isn't sufficient.

This proof must be included with your original application.

Thanks.

Included in my app to CIC in Sydney,NS right?

so why does it say the part about proving funds to my visa office in my home country?

Because when your application comes back to your country VO, they may ask you for proof of funds again.
 
Hello everyone!

I have a question, how do i show/proof it that i have the money that has been asked and that its mine and not borrowed from someone?
As the money is not in the bank so a credit of 12000$ CAD would raise an eye brow, No?
So do i have to show it from where i got it, if yes then how?

Please reply!
