Proof of funds question

[dof13]

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the proof of funds. I live in a common law union with my Canadian citizen partner. In my application I added him as “non accompanying spouse” since he is already a citizen living in Canada. My question is, I don’t have all the money needed in my account to qualify for FSW (2 people = 16k CAD). Can I also use the money that is in my partners personal bank account as proof of funds? I have roughly 8k in my account and he has another 23k. Thank you.

Your partner can't be part of the application since they are already Canadian. You only have to show POF for one person. Funds must be in your name.
