Does CIC accept internet printed statements for RQ

[askj]

Hi,

I've been RQ'ed on wed and i was wondering if i could print out my bank/credit card statements from the internet rather than photocopying them all, does CIC accept them? thanks.

I don't see why not , I did that myself. they know that no one can fake that as it would be a misrepresentation.


Cheers

If they don't have your address on them, they might not be accepted.

Also, part of the point of these is to show they were mailed to you at the address you claim.

What if one has just e-statements? A big percentage of people go paperless now...

If it doesn't show your address, it won't be proof of address. However, it will show transactions in Canada, and that may be the main thing they're looking for.

Edit: I've removed my post above. That's because on the RQ, bank statements are included under proof of employment, not proof of address. So what they really want to see are deposits from your employer, and probably also transactions from your daily life.
