Proof Of Funds -- What all can be used ?

[nithin]

Dear seniors
While landing for a short period, can I show statement from my Indian bank account and Fixed deposits receipts as proof of funds ? I will carry cash required for the expenses of the short stay.

Check this out. You can open a Scotia bank account from your home country.

Some banks allow you to open a Canadian bank account while you are still in India. I found this for Icici bank.

Check that link out. Check with your bank if they have such a scheme. After you move to Canada, you can withdraw funds and open an account in a bank of your choice.

Hope this helps.

EDIT :

You can open a Scotia bank account from India so this shouldn't be a problem. Opening an account in Scotia bank or other banks that have a good presence in Canada is way better rather than opening an account with ICICI which has very limited presence there.

Hey Everyone,
I have a question that I really need help with.
I have received an ITA and about to present the proof of funds. the thing is that I have a big chunk of my funds as a bank certificate. The bank certificate date started October 2019, and was renewed at October 2020, and will end at October 2021. The statement states that I have X amount of funds and that they are held by the bank. Is that a problem to submit as proof of funds? what I fear is that since they are held by the bank, IRCC might not consider that as a readily available funds. Would that cause a problem or is it fine as the certificate is in my name and the funds exist.
Please help me because I am running out of time and I have to submit my application before it expires.
would it be ok to submit my bank statement and the certificate? If I submitted both, they will cover the funds needed.
