Hi, I'm planning to apply for Canada PR. I have one year of work experience as a full-time content writer from India after my Bachelors degree. However, I don't have my bank statements or salary slips with me. But, I have my work experience certificate and can also get a letter of reference from my employer. I'm concerned whether it's fine if I can't show my bank statements and salary slips to CIC during PR process, but just show work experience certificate and letter of reference. Can someone please answer my query?

You must have proof of funds.
This is usually shown through the combination of bank statements and a letter from the bank. If you can come up with some other acceptable way to do it, then by all means.

Salary slips, on the other hand, are not compulsory.

Do you have any tax statements? I would imagine including those should also be helpful.
 
@istari - I researched proof of funds online and it says these are required to prove that I have sufficient funds to support myself in Canada. But, is it a requirement to prove my work experience as well in the form of bank statements? Isn't a work experience certificate and letter of reference enough to verify my work experience?

No.

Yes.

Did you show bank statements?
