Hello all,

Just want to make sure:

The minimum amount of money needed to be in the bank for 4 months before launching the visa is:

1) 1st year tuition + 1st year living/food + 2 way airfare OR

2) Full tuition + 1st year living/food + 2way airfare OR

3) something else?

In my case, I put "Full tuition + 1st year living/food + 2way airfare" 4 months back in our bank but gradually putting next year's money (the full amount for 2 years course) in the last few months. Will it bring any problem?

Just wanna double check with the experts :)
Please advice.

Regards

First option. First year tuition fees+first year living expenses+two way airfare. If you want to show extra money that's not a problem either. This money should be held in your account from the last 4 months. It is simple process.

Thanks for your best wishes. Do you guys understand the meaning if one says money should be held in your account for the last 4 months. Let's suppose, for September session 2011, if you file your case in may. So you will show bank statements from Jan/feb/march/April .

hi snake

Just to be on the safe side , a 6 month bank statemment showing funds maintained in your account for 4 months will be better, it will show greater transactions .

Bhai,

The thing is, the money is there for 6 months, lol, you know, businessman dad does not want to keep money in the bank idle. So if I take the statement for 6 months, it might have less money than needed. We started putting the money gradually, like few lakhs at a time, so in October it was less than NEEDED, in January, its equal to NEEDED, by end of April, the full amount will be there (total cost of studying in Canada).

So if I plan to launch visa application in 1st week of May, should I take statement from January(4 months) or October (6 months)?

Thanks again for your concern.

HI



go for the October to April ( 6 month bank statement) , it will show real time transactions , it does not matter if your required sum was not there in the bank before 4 months or u gradually collected the funds, just make sure that there are no bank to bank deposits ( wires), this would be an example of a genuine bank statement

Your comment! "Just make sure you keep a paper trail of where the money came from in case the vo gets nasty!" why in case? isn't it mandatory to provide these documents to VO?
