If your bank issues separate monthly statements rather than one continuous 6-month statement, IRCC does not require a single combined statement from the bank itself — you can assemble it yourself.
- Download or request each of the last 6 months' statements as individual PDFs from your bank.
- Combine them into a single PDF file, ordering with the most recent month at the top.
- Make sure the most current month is included, even if you have to specifically request/order it from the bank for a fee if it isn't otherwise available yet.
- If you're applying from inside Canada but your funds are held in an account abroad (e.g., you can't easily travel back to get statements in person), use online banking or phone/email requests to the home-country bank to obtain the statements rather than needing to travel.
This self-assembled, chronologically ordered PDF is generally accepted as long as it clearly covers the required 6-month period with the bank's official statement pages.
