PNP Application & Two Bank Accounts Canada ICICI & TD Bank

[Mansi]

I initially came to Ontario, Canada on a study permit and I opened a bank account with ICICI bank. After completing my 2 year diploma in Ontario, I moved to New Brunswick where I opened another bank account with TD Bank. My lawyer who is submitting my PNP application wants to know about all of my bank accounts in Canada. Since my ICICI bank account has a balance of $0, do I still need to mention this account or can I ignore it?

If you are submitting ‘Provincial Nominee Program’ (PNP) application, you are making commitment with a province (In your case New Brunswick), that you are planning to live in the province permanently. If you have bank account in another province that shows your relationship or ties to the other province, that can give a clue to the officer that you may not live in the promising province for a longer period.
