Funds available - Do I need to have the entire ammount in my bank account?

[Ascme]

Hello, I'm not sure how silly a question this is, but I've searched around and haven't found a topic that answers my question directly. I am going to study in Canada for a year and am applying for a student visa, my father will be paying for my studies and all other expenses. In the application, when they ask me to state the funds I have available for my stay, should I state an amount equal to what I will be spending during my whole stay (Roughly 27,000)? If so, then when I send them my father's bank statement, will it have to have that entire amount already in it to prove I can pay? Or is it enough to show that the amount he earns per month can cover my monthly expenditures? Thank you so much for your help

1. You will have to show the entire amount in your father's account, 1st year tuition, $10K living expenses and about $3K for travel.
