Hi,

I am gonna apply for study permit for coming fall next week in New Delhi, India. Actually i am stucked in a problem. My counselor is saying that paying tuition fees and purchasing GIC is not mandatory for University case, we can proceed by showing the funds only. But i have heard from a lot of places that paying the tuition fees and purchasing the GIC is mandatory (as mentioned in new checklist for University).

Will it affect my application if I submit my application without paying the tuition fees and GIC?

Waiting for an early response.

Thanks

Under University category - paying tuition fees for atleast 1st semester is a mandate. And for living expenses... either you can take GIC or Edu. loan equivalent to $CAD 10k. In case of living expenses you have to take Edu. loan if you are not going for GIC. You dont have a choice

Thatz it.... under SPP GIC is necessary. You can't even take loan.

And No .. it won't affect your application...bcoz they won't even consider your application :p

Therefore, you have to pay tuition fee(atleast for 1st sem) and take Edu. loan or GIC. Simple ;D

In the application guide it was mentioned that the documents should be placed in the following order,

Scan all documents in ONE SINGLE PDF File, in the following order:
I. Signed copy of the Scotiabank Student GIC Program Application Form.
II. Copy of passport pages (photograph page and the last page with signature)
III. Copy of acceptance letter from a Canadian educational institution
All copies MUST be signed by the student

Is it mandatory to place them in the same order. I placed in the following order I,III,II ... :(
Also in the subject line should we give our name ,passport number and DOB ?

Pl tell will my application be rejected??

GIC is mandaory under SPP only.

In case of University/General category you can either purchase GIC or show $10K worth education loan for living expenses.

But I or anyone will highly recommend you to purchase GIC because it will surely strengthen you case.


Rest is you Choice, whatever you want to do.



Best Of Luck.

Hi, in the University checklist for visa documents , it is written that sufficient funds but there is no mention of paying tuition fees. Can you please tell me where it is stated in the visa site that tuition fee payment is necessary or mandatory. Thanks

If you see in the visa site

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-how-documents.asp

Under Section 3
You can prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in Canada by showing some of the following.


I have shown more than enough of what is written in acceptance letter in terms of Loan and Bank statements. Wouldn't that suffice that there are sufficient funds?
