Hi All,

I am in process of getting a letter from the bank to show my proof of settlement funds. Can you all share the format of the letter that you all used?

Thanks,

there is no set format. get your bank profile, opening closing balance for last 6 months. if you have american express credit card then you need to submit 6 months statement as amex wont give any other letter and these statements are valid with cic. get bank letter from as many accounts u have in any number of banks.

Is that suffice if we show the proof of funds for 15000 CAD for two or is it require to show all the funds in all the accounts?
If I have a mortgage on my house should I need to show that aswell for last 6 months?
If I have multiple credit cards should I need to get the statements of all the credit cards for last 6 months?

Please advise

Hi All,

I have deposited the minimum required amount in my bank last month as a proof of funds. Can someone please share the affidavit format where it states that the funds were accepted from parents as gift as my bank statement does not shows the same amount of funds for last 6 months.

Thanks in advance.

Similiar if not the same question:

It seems that people have different opinions on this, is the letter necessary or, for instance, e-statements that have all the data required are sufficient? (Assuming you have one for each of the 6 months)

Has there been a formal communication from CIC that e-statements are not acceptable? Or any rejections you have come across?

I am in process of collecting financial documents and e-statements are very easy for me to obtain. As opposed to getting from the bank on their letterhead.

Hi,

Even i would like to know this thing. My bank refuses to give any letter in such format. I can provide my bank a/c statement and credit card statement of last 6 months. Won't that be enough ? Plz advise.

If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile. This must:
  • list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and investment accounts, the account numbers, dates each account was opened and the balance of each account over the past six months,
  • list all outstanding debts, such as credit cards and loans,
  • be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution, and include your name and the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and e-mail address).
This is from CIC regarding bank letter. I think they are pretty clear that it needs to be in bank letterhead.

Hi
My bank is refusing to include in the statement that the funds are feee of any debts/ liens etc... it says that is never given and is not in their format. I transferred the funds to another bank , but they also refused the same.
Is that sentence important?
Can I just submit a 6 months statement letter from bank stating my details and the clear balance ??

Please reply
Thankyou

Yes, it is good for the bank to specify that your funds are free if encumbrances. I have heard if ICICI and HDFC issuing such letters.
