Help regarding fees

[rohit53]

Hey is it really necessary to pay the university fees before going for visa? my university (lakehead) doesn't require me to do so and i was thinking of maybe paying it after getting the visa. I'll purchase the $10000 GIC and have more then 30 Lacks worth of FD's to show, so is it ok if i don't pay the fees in advance? I mean what effect does it have on my visa chances?

did u see the visa requirements?

Do you mean this?

PREFERRED OPTION for proof of funds: Evidence of purchase of a special Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a participating Canadian financial institution, in the amount of $10,000 CAD to cover living expenses for your first year in Canada and evidence of payment for your first year’s tuition (two semesters)

As an alternate option, you can fulfill the financial requirement by submitting a copy of the receipt for the first year’s tuition fee (two semesters) AND a copy of an Educational Loan from an Indian Chartered Bank equivalent to $10 000 CAD. See information on the following page for the list of acceptable banks.

If you meant something else, i am sorry but i did not got you, please tell me which visa requirements specifically. And if you meant the above thing, it only says preferred option right?

bro ,payment of first year (2semester) is mandatory

My consultant told me i can apply for visa with paying any fees as the offer of acceptance doesn't ask for payment of fees before joining the university! I would be really glad if you can point me to any website of the consulate which says that payment of fees before visa is mandatory, so that i can show that to the my consultant. Thanks!

yeah bro it is mandatory. my university also requires me to pay the fee after getting visa but I explained them new immigration rules of India and afterwards they agreed to receive the full year tuition fee and in return issued me an official confirmation letter and also faxed the same to the consulate.
