Is it manatory to pay 1st year fees to college to apply for Visa?

[himanshu757]

Hi .. I am a student from India. I have just completed my B.tech(cse) in 2012 and planning to do my PG Diploma in Canada for September 2013.
I have been in touch with many consultants here who are asking me to pay 1st whole year fees to the college to apply for visa as they are saying this is the new role issued by Canada embassy. What I feel is Consultants here are asking me to pay the fees for whole year because i presume they must be getting some profit from it.
I am interested in Humber college(Ontario) and consulted with their agents and they are saying that i can pay minimal fees of 1 semester. Can anyone confirm this if i can pay 1 semester fees and on the basis of that receipt if i will be able to apply for my Visa to Canada. I have searched on official sites but it says that they requires tuition fees (not mentioned if 1 semester or whole year). Please guys help me if i can pay minimal fees of 1 semester and apply for Visa. thanks in advance

To my knowledge, usually you pay the whole year's fee upfront. Not sure about international students. I would suggest you call Humber College about this.

If your visa is granted, you have to pay full year's fees anyways. but if for some reason, it you dont get visa, you will get a refund less application fees that is usually $75.
