Hi!

Express Entry Application Question:

I would just like to ask if I can submit ONLY a bank statement for the proof of funds?

(The bank can print the statement from the very 1st transaction as they cannot indicate the account opening date as well in the statement.)

This bank where I hold my payroll account refuses to give me the letter that the Canadian immigration needs. They informed me that they can only give me a statement.

Does this pose a problem?

Also, my funds are divided to two accounts (1 payroll and then 1 savings account with a local bank. I managed to get the letter from the local bank). I can only reach the minimum amount for the POF if the two current amounts under these accounts are combined.

Thank you for your help!

Ideally the letter from bank on bank letterhead is required. If they refuse to provide, ask them to at least put seal and signature on the bank statement to make it official.
