Personal loan to collect some funds

Hello everyone,

I am planning to take out a personal loan to demonstrate that I have additional funds, in addition to the funding letter (approximately CAD $27k) issued by my enrolled university. I intend to use the personal loan, deposited into my salary account, to provide financial support for the initial one and a half months, as well as for travel expenses. Currently, this is the only viable option for me to gather some funds, as I do not have any savings at the moment.

Would this be an acceptable approach, or are there alternative methods to legitimize the personal loan funds for presentation? I am facing confusion on this matter and would appreciate your suggestions.

I read some threads where it was mentioned that the Visa officer does not accept personal loans because it involves borrowing money from a bank, and the EMI is deducted shortly after the loan is disbursed.

For Proof of Funds, it lists loans.

Did they mention personal loan or education? An Education loan and personal loan are different. I am asking whether they would they approve the visa application with personal loan just to show some amount for the initial one and half month.
