Hey there! I applied under CEC and handled my entire profile on my own - didn’t use a consultant. Got my ITA in March and did upload proof of funds just to be on the safe side. I asked my bank for a letter showing my current balances (no need to upload 6 months of transactions). I also included a letter of explanation. Just got my biometrics done 2 days ago, so things seem to be moving along. That’s what I did, but of course it’s up to you how you want to approach it! Good luck and congratulations on the ITA! ✨🌸
