If you don't mind me asking, what if I don't have a bank account prior to that and I'm planning on opening a new account specifically for that matter, will that be an issue?

No. The most important thing to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the funds was not borrowed.
I'm not borrowing the funds, I'm getting them as a gift deed from my parents, the problem is that I do not have a bank account in my home country where my parents live. I'm planning on traveling there once I get an ITA and open a new account to transfer the funds and prepare the necessary documents. In your opinion is it going to be acceptable considering that the account is opened specifically for that matter and does not have history?
Bro anytime I read your opinions mehn you write really well. E sure me say na band 8.5 you get for IELTS writing.
Is it possible for your parents to create a fixed deposit (FD) in your name ? Any way you could sign n send the form to them ?
Hi,
I have similar case as you & this was what I did.
I live in the EU and I showed both mu EU bank statement and my home country bank statement (because parents sent gift deed amount to my home country bank acc instead).
1. Opened new bank account because my old bank blatantly refused to give me bank letter.
2. Transferred all my money from old bank to new bank.
3. New bank gave me bank letter addressed to IRCC with other details like amount held, and closing balance.
4. I attached old bank account statement (6 months) + transfer slip to show where the influx of money in my new account came from.
5. Attached gift deed + 6 months (home country) bank statement showing gift deed transfer.
In summary I submitted gift deed+ home country bank statement + EU bank letter & statement & funds transfer slip. I may have gone over the top lol but I didn't want to take any chances.
Hope this makes sense

Hmm first draw? I doubt so. I’m sitting at 481. Probably second draw. Fingers crossed. The thing is I will just be opening the acct. it’s a US dollar dom account. Because the way our Nigerian currency is devaluing daily, to be safe, it’s better to just open a dollar acct that way one won’t be affected. Banks can give letter of good standing for a new acct yeah? cos I will def not have 6 months acct statement. So letter of good standing, slip, notarized gift deed, and maybe a month statement of account yeah? If you’re Nigerian too I’m using GTB just in case maybe you know their process. I plan on visiting them soon sha. Thank you for your help.

Well... IRCC will have some explaining to do when all the low CRS CEC PRs aged 45+ or 50+ start retiring in 10 years... I expect a big wave of immigration in 10 years to fix today's mistakes.
They are so stupid. The basic idea of immigration was to invite youngsters who will pay taxes to pay for retirement benefits to the aged population. They are giving PR to aged people to meet short term targets

Although I think a much better way to handle immigration during the pandemic could be found which would minimize the possible damages (like giving the exemptions to outland CoPRs in March 2020 and saving about 30% of the workforce for FSW), I wouldn't call it stupidity. IRCC hadn't experienced a pandemic before so mistakes were bound to happen, they just could be smaller mistakes, it was possible. The damage done is that a vast majority of 2021 PRs are either to be retired soon (in ~10 years), have non-ideal qualifications (lower language or professional abilities, lower education etc.), or both. The same can't quite be said for 2020 CECs because the cutoffs weren't that far from regular CEC cutoffs, so the immigration system didn't get damaged all too bad in 2020.
