There is no real layout as such except for the following details:

1) Date account opened
2) Name of Account holder
3) Current Bank balance
4) Currency funds are denominated in

It has to be on bank letterhead, signed by the bank manager, and you need to provide statements for the 6 months prior to submission.

There is actually no requirement for six months of statements if you bank is able to provide the letter that CIC request. Many are not able to (in which case statement away), but the CIC requirements are:

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).

As for format, your bank will be the ones producing it so you are a little at their mercy on content and what they are allowed to include based on their own policies etc.

Both - the bank letter as well as bank statements.
Some applicants who only sent bank certificate were asked to provide bank statements later on.

what if there is no bank letter but just the 6 months statements? will that suffice?

My bank doesn't write letters so I used the last 6 months statements in my OINP application.

If you're planning to do the same thing, just make sure that your name, account number, the bank's address, contact details etc. are included in the statements.

Good luck.

My bank doesn't give statements on letterhead so for my OINP application I uploaded pdfs of my online statements - they had the logo of my bank and other details in colour.

If your bank agrees to give you statements on the letterhead, make sure that they also stamp, sign and date it.

Good luck

Don't worry and don't overthink. If IRCC wants additional documents, they'll ask.

Good luck to you.

I have 6 months statements wherein all the bank details viz., branch name, address, contact, a/c no., etc are mentioned also I have got them stamped from the bank and signed by an official. Just the letter is not included.

So did you get the PR?

Good Luck!

I think you'll be OK. Good luck.

I've applied to OINP and waiting for nomination now - my CRS score is too less for direct ITA anytime soon.
