This statement is not true as a molecule which has a polar bond will always have a net dipole moment. This depends on the direction of the bonds. They may cancel out each other if the polarity is in opposite direction. For example C-Cl bond are polar but CCl2=CCl2 is not nonpolar compound due to canceled dipole moment of C-Cl bond in opposite direction. An example is given in the above attachment.
