Tap or click each document box to mark as gathered for your filing packet.
Financial Proof Requirement
Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) through a participating Canadian bank is mandatory, along with paid first-year tuition receipt.
Note: Consular visa officers scrutinize source of funds, sudden unexplained deposits, and adherence to minimum duration holding periods.
Notes & Common Rejection Reasons
Student Direct Stream (SDS) offers substantially faster processing when complete GIC and required IELTS band scores are submitted upfront.
Proactively address these points in your cover letter or personal statement to prevent preventable refusals or administrative delays.
