Marcelito

Hello and thanks for your time,

I already did my medicals, paid the ROLF, and sent all the documents
that were requested, but today I received a letter (10 days after
sending that).

The letter is written in Spanish and says that because of the recent
changes made by the government of my country, I need to demostrate
that I have the funds to migrate either by:

- Showing that I have money outside of my country
- Using traveler cheques
- Cash. I must swear that I have the money and that must be certified
by an attonery, which should certify that has seen the funds in chash
and that I have them for my permanent residency in Canada. (I wonder
how can he/she certify that).

With my application I showed that I have around 45000 Canadian
dollars, but now, with the note they attached a paper that shows just
the minimun requirements (printed from the CIC website) and they say
that the paper is meant to show me how much I need to prove that I
have.

My question is: I have the money in a local branch of a very
well-known international bank, rated AA, but it seems that they don't
like it anymore, after the problems that South America faced.

I want to answer them soon, and I´m also frightened by a recent post
of a refused application. Do you think that withdrawing about 15000
CAD and getting that certificate from an attonery is OK (I´m single) ?

Or perhaps showing that my family has money in a fixed account in the
US and that I have the power to withdraw ?

Sorry about my english, but I´m a bit nervous because of this letter.

Thanks for your prompt answer!

The obvious concern is that while you may have the funds, can you get them
transferred to Canada for your use there? You should check with your bank
to ensure that this is possible. Better would be to transfer enough funds
to a bank in Canada. A Canadian bank operating in your counry may be able
to assist you.

First of all, thank you very much, Jim, for your prompt answer.

There is no Canadian bank operating in my country directly, so I can't
open an account there so fast.

Of course I can transfer my money to everywhere I want, as I told
before, this is just a branch of the A B N bank in my country, and
here everyone can transfer his money to wherever they want, in fact,
some months ago, a lot of people from Argentina used to have all their
money here. And in fact, the accepted that my money was here in the
first place.

But I understand their point, and I also need to be sure they they
accept my new proof of funds.

What do you think about the attonery, and what does he exactly need to
write ?

Thank you very much.

Marcelo,

supongo que sos Argentino por los problemas que planteas.

The Royal Bank of Canada allows people to open an account from abroad. I
suggest you to go to their website (www.royalbank.ca) and check about it.
Unfortunately I don't have that info anymore and not everybody at the bank
knows it.

After that, you can transfer your money to your new account here in Canada.
