CIC will be glad the older the statements are. If you got an ITA on 13 Jan and are submitting your application on 12 March, provide statements from at least 1st Sep till 29th Feb.CanadaWeCome said:Dear @Asivad
Now extending the mechanics of producing a bank statement of 6months back counting from the date of eAPR from a country different than the home country where personal accounts are.
So post ITA if one has to get the bank statement (6 months) within those 60 available days they'll need to arrange for it from place of stay. When they do that surely it cannot be just before (say a day or two) they can submit the eAPR.
Now my question is what is that allowable gap between the statement date and eAPR filing date? Will 1-2 months be ok, or should it be less?
P.S.:The above question assumes that one needs to provide CIC a copy of the original Bank statement signed and stamped by the bank on their letter head, and printed online statements with eSignatures aren't acceptable to CIC.
Hypothetically, if the ITA were on 31st Jan and you were submitting the application on 29th March, provide statements from either 1st Sep till 29th Feb or 15th Sep till 15th Mar. Either of those would suffice. And CIC can always ask for recent bank statements, if required, at any point in time during the process.
