Hi Markc06. If you've read the previous posts, you'd see that the minimum funds needed would be 1 year tuition + 10,000 CAD for living expenses. Aside from the actual funds that you can easily access, they also check your capability to support yourself throughout your studies without needing to find work in Canada. This means, aside from the sum of your funds, they also check the history. Bigla bang lumaki yung pera? Saan nanggaling? May business or ITR forms ba to support the origin of the money? May sufficient income pa ba na darating in the future to fund the studies?
What other people do kasi, they borrow for show money. So importante din that you're able to explain where the money is from and where you'll be able to get the tuition for the next year, kung 2 years yung program mo. In some CAIPS notes, may mga comments about bulk deposits sa bank account ng applicant and this can raise suspicions.
So the actual amount of the money is not the only thing they consider. May iba with less money, may iba with more but they got their approval because they were able to explain well. So in theory, "pasok" yung amount mo sa financial capacity if you are able to explain well.
