Hello Everyone,

I recently got into the University of Manitoba in MSc Mechanical Engineering and am now in the process of applying for my study permit.

My query is regarding the Financial proof stipulation of the study permit requirements. I am being sponsored by my employer which is an international company present in 3 countries. The employer would provide me with a sponsorship letter for the visa application but they are not willing to provide bank statements since the company considers it to be confidential information.

So my question is that is a sponsorship letter or affidavit enough to fulfill the financial proof requirement?

Also, I did my bachelor's from The University of Nottingham in Malaysia and the UK and that was also fully sponsored by my employer including living and tuition.

Thank you for your help!!

Proof of financial support


You must prove that you can support yourself, and the family members who come with you, while you are in Canada.

You can prove your funds with:

  • proof of a Canadian bank account in your name, if you have transferred money to Canada
  • Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a participating Canadian financial institution
  • proof of a student/education loan from a bank
  • your bank statements for the past four months
  • a bank draft that can be converted to Canadian dollars
  • proof you paid tuition and housing fees
  • a letter from the person or school giving you money or
  • proof of funding paid from within Canada, if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program.

Although I would suggest showing funds from your personal side along with the letter from your employer.

The problem is that I’m not paying even one cent from my side. Everything from tickets to tuition fee and living is being covered by the sponsor. And their letter or affidavit would state so. Is it required of me to give my statements even though I’m not paying for anything?

Well I would still include bank statements under your name since you aren't able to show any bank statements from your employer.
