There’s no fixed minimum amount set by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Instead, they look at whether your funds make sense for your trip.
For a short UK trip (1–2 weeks), people typically show C$1,700–C$4,200 in available funds & PLUS steady income (this matters as much as the balance).
Hi,
I know someone who has less than 10k in account and his visa got refused stating that less income(not enough funds).
So its better to have above 10k before applying. 3 months statement is enough.

Doesn’t mean “you must have 10k.” there so many other reasons including Income is too low compared to expenses/travel plan, sudden large deposits (looks suspicious), no stable job or unclear source of money, travel cost seems unrealistic for their finances.
In other words, it’s about credibility, not just the number.
 
Hi guys! What should be written in nationality. There is an option for Refugee of 1951 convention and later it also asks if I have another nationality. I’m confused as to what write here

Refugee of 1951 Convention & Another nationality: No (unless you actually have another passport). If am wrong correct me.
 
No my passport is with the IRCC. So we don’t the write the nationality of the country we came from then?
Even if the passport is currently held by IRCC, the applicant’s nationality remains unchanged.
The applicant should indicate the country of citizenship as reflected on their passport.
Nationality changes only upon acquisition of Canadian citizenship.

But they have given an option for Refugee of 1951 convention and that’s the travel document I hold

But legally, you often still retain your original nationality (unless it’s been formally removed).
So you typically fill in both, your original country (citizenship) & Refugee travel document (status) 1951 Convention Refugees.
