Navigating Proof of Funds: Essential Guidance from Your Immigration Consultant.
Settlement funds.

As an immigration consultant, I find it imperative to shed light on crucial topics like proof of funds for skilled immigrants aspiring to make Canada their new home. Understanding these requirements is paramount for a successful immigration journey.

Proof of funds is a fundamental aspect of the immigration process, demonstrating applicants' ability to support themselves and their family members in Canada. It's a key criterion for eligibility assessment and program selection, significantly impacting the success of immigration applications.

Recent Updates and Requirements
Effective May 28, 2024, updates to the proof of funds table will affect settlement fund requirements for aspiring immigrants. Applicants must accurately declare their financial resources in their Express Entry profiles, adhering to the specified guidelines and documentation requirements.

Exceptions and Considerations
While proof of funds is typically required for applicants under certain skilled immigration programs, exceptions exist for individuals with valid job offers or those applying under the Canadian Experience Class. Understanding these exceptions and nuances is essential for navigating the immigration process effectively.

What will be accepted as proof
Your funds must be available at two key stages:

· When you apply

· When we issue you a permanent resident visa (if your application is approved)

It's crucial to prove that you can legally access the money upon your arrival in Canada.  The following do not qualify as proof of settlement funds:

· Equity in real property

· Borrowed money from another person

· The funds presented must cover your family's living expenses, regardless of whether they accompany you to Canada.

Funds held jointly with your spouse can be counted towards the required amount. If the account is solely under your spouse's name, you must prove your access to these funds.

To provide proof, obtain official letters from all banks or financial institutions where you hold accounts. These letters should include:

· Contact information of the institution (address, telephone number, and email address)

· Your name

· Details of outstanding debts (such as credit card debts and loans)

· Specifics of each current banking and investment account, including:

o Date each account was opened

o Current account balances

o Account numbers

o Account balance
