Kapil Dev

I am applying under skilled worker class. My father has sold his
ancestral property and from the sale proceeds he has given CAD 12000
for immigration purposes.

This amount is deposited into a bank as a fixed deposit receipt and
the bank has issued a non encumbrance certificate for the same. In
addition I have the fixed deposits receipt copies notarised. The
deposits are made for a period of 3 years and the banks non
encumbrance letter states that it can be withdrawn on request.

Do I need to provide any additional documentation to the immigration
officers? Do I need to prove the source of funds? If so, in my case
what can be the documentation that I can provide along with my
application.

Thanks
Kapil Dev

No, you don't need to document the source. You'll be OK as long as account
is in your name and money is yours. Providing of course that funds are also
in convertible currency, readily available not only for withdrawal but also
for taking it out of the country as per your country's currency transfer
restrictions, if any.

Do you know how the Reg defines the funds and what kind of finical
source can be used for the proof of the required funds? Thanks.

Andrew Miller

See section 76(1)(b)(i) in Regulations below:

http://www.canlii.org/ca/regu/sor2-227/sec76.html

If you pay attention to the application kit and visa specific instructions
you will find in documents checklist what exactly is the acceptable evidence
proving that you have required funds.

"an amount equal to half the minimum necessary income applicable in
respect of the group of persons consisting of the skilled worker and
their family members" Can you explain what it means and better to
provide examples? Thanks.

As you could not find the information on your own a link is provided below.

The same site contains answer to most other commonly asked questions.

Note that this is NOT visa specific.

"an amount equal to half the minimum necessary income applicable in
respect of the group of persons consisting of the skilled worker and
their family members" Can anyone explain what it means? This is not
asking how much funds required to settle in Canada? Thanks.

Andrew Miller

It is just a legal "mumbo-jumbo" language. See here for amounts required:

"These funds could be in the form of: cash; securities in bearer form
(for example: stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills); or
negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example: bankers' drafts,
cheques, travellers' cheques, money orders.)"

That's what I just want to know. Thanks.

Where did you get that quote from?!!!

Stocks for example won't be accepted as proof of funds.
