Settlement fund is the the term for funds use to settle in Canada with regards to permanent residency.
Sponsorship is the term for sponsoring a family member. Example: Spousal sponsorship or Parental sponsorship.

If I understand your questions right, it will not matter much who will provide support for your education.
Be it an employer, family member or god father. It is NOT required that the funds for your education must come from the family member. Although it gives a little bit of edge if your parents will support you compared to a boyfriend/girlfriend.
The one who will support your education must show an affidavit of support, identification and the proof that they are capable of supporting you, like bank statement, bank certificate payslip or even notice of assessment. If they will provide you support for your 1st-year tuition fee then must show the fund in their bank account.

If you are providing the 1st year tuition fee and they will provide you the fund to support yourself (the $10,000) they need to provide the affidavit of support, some money in their bank account, Notice of assessment, proof of accommodation ( House title if they own the house or lease agreement if they own an appartment), anything that proves that they own a place to accommodate you.
hello kapatid! thanks a lot for providing these information. This is really helpful with my current status in my application as a student in Canada. I asked if its required that my sponsor would be my family, its because frankly speaking my family doesn't have a capability to sponsor me. We don't have business, funds or account in the bank.

But I met a friend and her family liked to sponsor me. And this friend of mine is also applying for student visa. Is it possible that two of us will accomodate by her parents as our sponsor?

thanks kapatid! your efforts really appreciated!

Hello po, salamat sa Dyos padaan ako sa forum na to. Currently gathering po infos para sa student permit, at sa pagback read po, medyo madami dami na po ako nagagather, pero mas mabuti po na itanong ko parin, maraming salamat in advance po sa mga magsshare ng knowledge nila:

Mga tanong ko po regarding:
1. Age - 36 yo na po ako ngaun, if plan ko po mag apply next year para ecollect ang mga documents requires kasi andito po ako sa Maldives, madagdagan po ang edad ko, malaking factor po ba eto para sa refusal? Although me nabasa po ako dito na 39yo sya while applying, pero hindi ko po kasi nabas if na approved sya, or baka na overlook ko lang.

2. Course na kukunin - Bachelor of Science in Accountancy po gradaute ko na course pero hindi po ako CPA. Plan ko po kunin is Business Administration para ma maximise po ang knowledge ko. COnfuse lang po ako, hindi po kaya magrredflag since Accountancy graduate na ako tos mag tatake ako Business Adm?

Sa case ko po kaya ano ang chances na makakakuha nag approval study permit?

Mother of 5 yo son, OFW in Maldives for 4yrs and 7 months, currently working as Accountant. Planning to apply alone, para po pwede ko masabi na magsusuport po ang husband ko, na nagwowork din po dito sa Maldives. Financially po, medyo me naipon na kami, addidtional suport lang po ang husband ko. My 2 lot po sa Pinas if eto po makakadagdag advantage. Base po sa nabasa ko dito, ung critical po e kung papaano majustify ung family ties, na mageexit ka talaga sa Canada. My parents are both Citizen. Plan ko po na ereason out na etatake ko ang course na un to widen ang knowledge ko para sa higher position. Pwde ko po mapapakiusapan ang current employer ko na hingan ng letter na e accept a in nila ako sa pagbalik ko. Sapat po kaya yun na maging strong ang SOP ko?
Pasensya po talaga madami dami akong tanong at maraming maraming salamat po sa mga magbibigay ng inputs. God bless po sa ating lahat.

If it is accommodation then it's okay. They just need to provide an affidavit of support for accommodation.
Accommodation is not all of the $10,000. You need funds to eat, transport, books, cloths and other things. So maybe if you can provide 1 year tuition + Affidavit of accommodation + $5,000 then you might not get refuse for lack of funds. I know a case where 2 students (cousins) received an affidavit of accommodation from 1 person. If you want to be sure you can backread.

Nahahalata ko sa information issues na inaddress mo nag babackread ka nga. Good job.
Medyo mahina na nga ang case mo kasi malaki na gap mo sa study, magulang mo both citizen pa sa Canada and OFW ka pa. Kailangan mo galingan SOP mo talaga. With my experience sa babalikan na trabaho mas malakas kung sa pinas ang babalikan mo na trabaho. Maybe provide 2 letters isa sa maldives at isa sa pinas. Kailangan mo talaga patatagin case mo.

Hello po, I had 2 classmates ages 43 and 54. Di naman sila na deny. One was even a doctor and shifting careers to IT para lang makapunta dito.

The basics of SOP po is to show the logic why you decided to study a particular program, why in Canada and what will you do after you study.

Expected na naman po nila na mag apply kayo ng PR eventualy. Kelangan lang po is may proof kayo na if that plan fails (which we all hope will not happen), uuwi kayo ng matiwasay and hindi kayo gagawa ng bawal dito just to survive. The assets tie you back pero at the same time, pwede mo din siya ibenta para sustentuhan ka incase kinapos ka para hindi ka mapilitan mag under the table. Under dual intent naman po ang mga student applicants and they can smell a fake story a mile away. Pansin ko po kasi sa batch ngayon is more on concentration nila is to trick the VO para lang ma grant sila ng visa. IF you guys have backread enough, honesty is the best policy po talaga. Meron nga po noon nag apply, kulang ang funds pero may scholarship, zero car, zero house and lot, and even mention sa SOP na mag apply siya ng PR after makawork, ayun, nauna pa nga sa amin nila scorpio dumating ng Canada hehe

What I did notice before is parang mas nahihirapan ang mga nurse, ofw, zero travel history and may mga asawa but as long as malinaw ang explanation, I think it would be ok. After all, international students ay malaking source ng funds para sa gobyerno nila.

Ako po economics grad, businessman sa atin pero IT ang inaral ko dito and zero background ako and zero experience. Pinaliwanag ko lang sa SOP bakit ko siya aaralin, ano plans ko after, etc. Basta honest lang po. Hindi ko sinama sa application si missis and baby noon kasi liit pa ni baby and para may bantay sa business kaso di din natiis kaya ayun, nag apply na din the next day. We even mentioned that in their SOP hehe So like I said, basta honest lang po. :)

Anyone here that applied student visa from the Philippines, been receive Letter of Acceptance from the school, and now ready for visa application. I had difficulties regarding my settlement fund / show money. Any idea about sponsorship? is it really required that your family will be your sponsror?Thanks in advance.
Anyone can be your sponsor po as long as you have it in writing. What I did was ask a letter from my uncle na dun ako mag stay sa kanila for free and he just signed it. IT contains his address, line of work and ID. Hindi ko na po pina notarize.

Magtatanong po sana ako kung meron dito na ang pinakitang bank account for show money na 11,000 cad ay hindi sa account nya kundi sa kapatid? At yung kapatid po e wala sa canada, nasa ibang bansa? Pede po ba yun or need na nasa account mo yung pera?
This is pretty common here and you just need to have it in writing with proof of relationship and legitimacy of the funds. Would be great if you can mention ano work ng kapatid mo and also attach a copy of his passport/ID sa support letter. :)

Hi,

I am currently attending Chellsey and I am wondering the same question RE PGWP, did you wife end up taking the course? and was she successful with her permit?


Thank you
he downside of private schools po is they can lose their credential tapos hindi na sila magiging DLI and at that point, baka maapektuhan na po ang PGWP ninyo. A few years back, meron po private school sa BC yata na nag sara ang napauwi yung mga students or something to that extent po.

Maraming salamat kapatid, much appreciated. Iniisp nga po namin na baka yan ay maging factor they might refuse my application. By the way, just to correct my previous info my parents are senior citizen not a canadian citizen(nkalimutan ung senior :) We are thinking, baka pwede ng husband ko, he is younger than me 31 yo, however, our concern he is registered nurse, and based on the info's we gathered, mukhang minimal ang chances na sa canada with regards sa trabaho..?. Salamat ulit kapatid

Hindi nakakahiya yun. Binabayaran mo sila para gawin ang mga ito. Included yan sa binayaran mo so get your moneys worth.
