Hi, I have some questions about filling this form.

- Because a signature is needed, I assume that I need to fill it out on the computer, print it, sign it and then scan it?
- In the Employment section, what do I do if I've had more than three jobs during the past 10 years? Write the rest of the details on the back side of the printed form and then scan that?
- "The cost of my studies will be..." I'm going for a 4-year Bachelor's degree, so do I write down the total cost of the tuition fees for the whole duration of study? It says on http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-how-documents.asp that the minimum amount of funds needed to show is only one year's tuition fees + $10,000. So it's fine if the number I write down in the "Funds available for my stay" field is less or only slightly more than the total cost of the tuition fees? Because in this field, I should only include the funds I have proof for?

Also, if anyone experienced would like to read and comment on my SOP, I'd appreciate it a lot. Post here or PM me and I'll PM it to you. The SOP will probably be important in my case, since I already have a Bachelor's degree and am going for another one.

from what I know, regarding the signature part, is that you just fill the documents on your PC and upload them. Once done, they ask for a digital signature sort of agreement later which basically suffices that part.
However just to be sure, wait for others to answer as well.. better if you just mail the embassy itself. as said above.

I don't really have time to wait for their answer which will come in maybe two weeks, I'm planning to apply next week already.

Thanks xcon89, that makes sense. Does anyone else have any idea about the other things? Especially about the jobs part - I don't want to withhold any information from them, but if there's no space in the form to write about the other jobs, I don't know what I should do...

I'm very nervous about the amount of funds I should show. It states in my LOA that the length of my degree is 4 years, but I will only be studying for 3 years or even less in reality, since I'm a transfer student and will likely receive plenty of transfer credits. However, I can't prove this to the VO right now since I haven't been able to apply for the transfer credits yet (still taking a class at my current university). Do you think that if I show them about $48,000 in my bank account, it will be seen as "enough"? My tuition fees are $8,800 for one year, which amounts to $35,200 for four years.

I know that the CIC website states that you only need to show funds for one year of tuition fees plus $10,000 for living expenses, but I'm afraid that they would be eager to reject me for financial reasons because my degree is so long (on paper). I tried looking for an e-mail address for the London visa office where my application will be processed, but couldn't find one... Apparently you can only e-mail them with questions after you've submitted an application. But I really want to get it right the first time.

That shouldn't be a problem but hope you have sponsor? ? Like from parents or siblings...and that will prove as ties too.

When we discussed this with my parents today, we came to the conclusion that just the 30,000 euro loan I'll be taking from them should be enough, together with my own savings of a few thousand euros. But maybe it isn't? My dad will only transfer the money to my bank account a few days before I'm planning to submit my application. I will also include a loan agreement written by him and signed by us both, but is it an issue that the money hasn't been in my account for a longer period of time?

To be on the safe side, I guess I'll need to ask my dad to write a sponsor letter as well, and give me a copy of his bank statement so I can include that too. This is so stressful trying to figure out what will satisfy the VO... :(
