A very popular question around the Canadian student visa process is how much to show the Canadian embassy when applying for a student visa to Canada? The answer is pretty straightforward. All you need to work on is arranging enough funds that will support your living expenses while you are in Canada as a student and your tuition costs as well.

So basically if you are looking at about $10,000 to $15,000 CDN as your living expenses, you will need to add to that the cost of your education, basically your tuition costs and that is the amount you need to show to the Canadian Embassy. You can show financial proof in the form of your bank statements (usually for a period of 6 months) or you can show a letter of sponsorship along with the sponsors bank statements showing the required funds.

Additionally, if you’ve qualified for a scholarship or grant be sure to show documented proof for the same. This will help in lowering the amount of money that you need to show.

We get many questions on this top and I hope this answers the question. A sampling of the questions are below.

• “Can someone tell me the amount of money we have to show the Canadian embassy for a student visa ?”
• “How much bank balance is required for a Canadian student visa?”
• “Can I show a relatives bank account towards my student visa for Canada?”
