But do we really need bank statements ? Because CIC mentioned that they need a letter from bank which mentions :


The official letter must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include your name,
the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and e-mail address),
the account numbers, dates of when each account was opened and the balance of each account over the previous 6 months.

What about this ?

Thanks
Silvi

You don't need 6 months of account activity (credit and debit transactions) statements from the bank. What you've mentioned in your post is what is required.

Right. That letter is all you need. Problems come when the bank can't or won't provide all the information. In my case, the bank tried three times to comply (and they were a little testy on the third try). The third try was the best, with everything except the six months of balances. So I sent the top sheet of my statements for the last 6 months, showing opening and closing balances, and I added my T4 and NoA for good measure. I didn't have the pages stamped, though. So far, no questions, but I'm not through the process yet.
