For SINP (Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program) Expression of Interest applicants, a recurring question is whether the Proof of Funds (POF) requirement is flexible if you can't maintain the full minimum settlement amount.
What group members were clear about:- There is no alternative to meeting the POF minimum. SINP applies this requirement strictly, with no workaround or reduced threshold for applicants who fall short.
- SINP evaluates your lowest balance over the entire tracking period, not just the balance on the day you submit documents. If your account balance dips below the required minimum even for a single day during the assessment window, that can disqualify your POF submission.
Practical takeaway: if you're planning a SINP application, don't assume a quick top-up right before submission is enough — you need to maintain the minimum settlement amount consistently over the whole period SINP reviews, since even a brief dip can cause a rejection.
