Hello to all. I want to know that having a GIC certificate make a good impact on strong visa for canada? I am applying from Pakistan and visa ratio is little bit low for Pakistani students for the study visa. So, Anyone please give their valuable feedback on it. Thank you

Yes having a GIC helps out your study visa application a little bit in terms of assessing your financial status. Of course they need to see how you'd be paying for your tuition as well. The GIC gives them assurance that you will be self sufficient for the duration of your stay for daily expenses.

All the best!

Which bank are you using for GIC ? Scotia bank ?
If that is the case it has to go through your account. Your father should transfer it to your account, and then the wire transfer should be made through your account. That is a standard procedure for indian students opting for GIC through scotia. Check their website and follow the instructions to proceed.
Not sure if the same case would apply to you as well. Checkout their Startright Program

You might have to contact the bank and check with them if that is possible. Because the 10K is a straight forward designed scheme. But changes in the amount might incur some extra work for them. Although they should appreciate getting the extra business.

You have to open an online account in either Scotia Bank or HCB ( Only These Two Offers GIC to Pakistanis)
And then you can transfer from Pakistani Bank to the bank where you opened your account in Canada
