Use of saving account as proof of funds

[strawcurls]

Hi All,

Is it ok to use saving account as proof of funds for permanent residence application?

Yes, as long as its in your name or joint(and the other account holder is traveling with you)

thank you. i was asking because i read on the cic proof of fund guide that shows the following:



What we accept as proof

For proof, you must get official letters from any banks or financial institutions where you are keeping money.

Letter(s) must:

• include, for each current bank and investment account:
  • account numbers
  • the date each account was opened
  • the current balance of each account
  • the average balance for the past six months

thank you. i was asking because i read on the cic proof of fund guide that shows the following:

I have seen it before, it talks about the existing bank not account type... you are good to include your current and savings account.

are you btw FSW or CEC - Inland ?
if you are CEC - I and you are working here you dont even need to show POF

You don’t need to show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family to meet the program requirements of the Canadian Experience Class (this includes provincial nominees who are part of the CEC stream).

Note that you do not need proof of funds if you are currently:

• authorized to work in Canada and
• have a valid job offer
