Hi all, would appreciate some quick advice as I'd like to get my OINP application sent soon.
The form I'm filling in says the following regarding proof of funds:
V. Settlement Funds *
Provide proof of unencumbered and readily transferable funds in a convertible currency available for settlement in Ontario:
Current bank certification letter; or
Evidence of savings balance; or
Fixed or time deposit statements.
and the guide says:
Bank account outside of Canada
If you do not have a personal bank account in Canada, you must provide six
months of original up-to-date bank statements from a recognized financial
institution. The bank statements must:
Demonstrate a personal account standing / final balance that meets or
exceeds the LICO; AND
Include the following details:
o Your name;
o Account number;
o Transit and institution number;
o Account balance; and
o Currency.
My issue is that I don't receive paper statements from my bank for my current account (For some reason I still do for my savings account) so I don't know what to supply.
What I currently have are printed copies of my statements that I downloaded from my banks online banking site. I also have statements that I got from the local branch which they printed out for me. Both of these things have all the required details on them and show the correct amount (it's split across my savings and current account). I'm a little nervous because they're not original bank statements sent to me in the post.
In the UK online banking is the norm and most people don't get statements posted. Also, if people are submitting originals for OOPNP they would not have them for ITA... Although it doesn't directly effect me I'm wondering how this works.
Thanks for any help.
