Do you need all of your money upfront when applying for a student visa in Canada?
This is in relation to another question I asked. But my friend wants to go to school up here in Canada. And is curious how much money he is going to need. So when he applies for a student visa, does he need to have all of the money for his college courses upfront? In my friends case, does he need to have his money for 2 years of college(since thats all hes going to be taking) upfront when applying for a student visa?

YES he needs to show proof that he has sufficient money already in the bank to support himself while he is studying. tuition fees, books, rent, food, clothes, transportation, laundry, entertainment, and other expenditures. probably looking at least $2000 CAN per month - not counting the tuition fees. Fees usually need to be paid up front when you register or apply to a college. If he does not have sufficient money, he will be denied a study visa. If you plan on supporting him, well that may imply a dual intent - CIC thinks he will study, but then he will stay after he graduates because he will be staying with you. If you do offer a place for him to stay, then you must write a letter as if you were the landlady and he the roommate. He also needs to show proof that he will return home after he graduates.

no he does not, he only needs to show proof of fund for one year tuition plus living expenses. the more the better of course! but not necessary. sam nouri www.khorshid.ca
