Guys.. can anyone tell me how can we show proof of funds?
Is it essential to show bank statement of last 6 months?
Can we should.bank statement of our parents to show proof of funds?
The bank account has to be under the principal applicant's name. Parents' account doesn't work, nor does an account under a spouse's name (the user above who said it's okay is mistaken). You need a certified letter from your bank, not (just) the statements. This is what you need to show:
Document: Proof of Means of Financial Support
Express Entry – Permanent Residents
If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile. This must:
• list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and investment accounts, the account numbers, dates each account was opened and the balance of each account over the past six months,
• list all outstanding debts, such as credit cards and loans,
• be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution, and include your name and the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and e-mail address).
There are a lot of other threads in this forum that discusses this requirement. Here are some useful threads -
