Main question: Since I keep little money in any bank, can I provide brokerage statements instead?
Side questions:
Would it be a problem if my broker is US based? Address on the statement is local and its where I reside. The broker is a publicly listed company.
Can this document be virtual somehow?
Best Answer
The purpose of the bank statements is not only to tell immigration how much money you have, but also what your regular day to day finances are like. Unless you are using your broker for day to day transactions broker statements are not sufficient on their own. However if you keep substantial savings in your brokerage there is nothing to stop you submitting brokerage statements in addition to your bank statements.
