Hey all,

These are the actual lines mentioned on the SINP website under the required documents section.

Proof of funds must be attached to your application. They must:

  • be official letters, official statements, and/or certificates from one or more financial institutions.
  • have been maintained at least 3 months prior to submitting your application and maintained throughout the entire immigration process.
  • be in the name of the principal applicant and/or spouse only.
Fund statements must show a detailed transaction history for at least three months before the date your SINP application is submitted and must include the type of currency, fund holder’s name, contact information of the financial institution, account numbers, transactions and balances.

It clearly says the funds should be in the name of the applicant and funds in the name of the spouse can be counted too OR funds in the name of the spouse only.

In either ways ofcourse a secondary applicant might have to write a declaration letter stating spouse can use the funds as POF.

However the official website does not mention anything about settlement funds held in a joint account with the spouse. I know IRCC's official website says Joint account with a spouse is alright but does anyone have an experience with SINP ? is SINP ok with a joint account with the accompanying spouse?

The reason I ask this question is because in the Expression of Interest system, there is no provision to state if spouse is accompanying or family size etc unlike the federal EOI (EE profile).

Hoping some senior folks clarify these points.
