Proof of settlement funds
Certain immigrants are required to provide proof of funds prior to receiving their visas. Family Class applicants are exempted from this requirement.
Proof of funds can be either Traveller's Cheques, or a bank statement.
Please be advised that evidence of property ownership is not sufficient for proof of settlement funds. Settlement funds must be available and transferable.
Traveller's Cheques:
Traveller's Cheques can also be presented as proof of settlement funds (photocopies of traveller's cheques are acceptable).
Bank statements:
It should be issued by a bank confirming that you have the required amount of money on deposit in your name in Canadian funds or equivalent. We accept bank statements confirming accounts held either in Canada, or in any other Western country or in a local branch of a bank headquartered in a Western country (Citibank, Raiffeisen Bank, etc.). You must submit the original bank statement (not a photocopy) or a fax sent to you directly from the bank. The bank statement must be in English or French, on a bank letterhead and signed, and should contain the following information: account number, account holder’s name, amount and currency. In addition to each bank statement please provide a 6 month account transaction history. We cannot accept a bank statement issued more than 30 days before the submission of your current proof of funds.
If you happen to travel abroad to North America or Western Europe, you can open a bank account during your travels. Sometimes it is possible to open a bank account by mail. Some Canadian banks are aware of our requirement that potential immigrants have bank accounts, and will offer this service by mail. You should contact the banks directly in order to obtain the necessary information and instructions. The Consular Section of the Embassy of Canada (not the Visa and Immigration Section) can assist in preparing the documents needed for opening a bank account in Canada.
Is there any other bank who provides this kind of service.
