Is it acceptable to show Canadian bank account details as proof of funds or do I need to show Indian bank account details?

Yes, you can show Canadian bank account details as proof of funds for your Canadian student visa application. A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a Canadian bank is widely accepted and demonstrates that your funds are already transferred and secured in Canada.

You can also use Indian bank account statements if they show sufficient, consistent funds held for at least four months before applying. Both options are acceptable, but Canadian bank documents like a GIC may strengthen your application.
