Problems with your Personal Reference Code: Entered the wrong personal reference code:IN0157416692 when started EE profile Waiting too long to start EE profile and personal reference code has expired – valid for only 2 months If need to redo profile, this comes up frequently   Listener Questions Proof of Funds:   I have been granted an ITA through Express Entry and the portal is asking me to provide proof of funds. I know I don’t have enough to cover myself, my wife, and my 2 children. Can I borrow money from my father to provide the “show money”? Answer: If you are receiving money, it must be an irrevocable gift and not a loan. If you have a large deposit within the previous 6 months, you simply need to explain where the money came from, this will be critical. Maybe you sold a house or other possessions to obtain the settlement funds. Suggestion: try to save money in advance and have it in your account over a period of 6 months. If money is obtained from family, it has to be an irrevocable gift to you. May sure that you provide an affidavit or other document confirming that your family provided you with the money and does not expect it to be paid back. This should include details related to the transaction such as: Date and amount of the transfer of funds Account numbers and who owns the accounts Even reference numbers for the wires or other transfers Always include a letter explaining where the funds came from. Don’t forget the bank letter confirming the following: Your name and date of the statement Account number Current balance Average balance in the past 6 months Date the account was opened TIP: you can show funds from multiple accounts  and use them collectively TiP: if you have sufficient funds in one account, you don’t need to submit letters for all of your accounts. Tip: You can NOT use property valuations as proof of funds. The property would need to be sold and the funds available in your account. Tip: You can also NOT show borrowed funds, so loans are out.  Immigration Resources EE eligibility: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp CRS Tool: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp CRS Criteria: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp FSWP eligibility: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp Ministerial instructions for EE: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp Express Entry – Completeness Check Policy: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp CIC LICO chart: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
