Read the post carefully: I said "per week of STAY". So for example, he is requesting to stay in Canada for 2 weeks, a good amount to show would be at least $2000 of funds, plus airfare cost.milimili said:$1000 per WEEK? But he will live with me in the apartment that I rent in Canada and I have a TAship. My monthly salary is around $2000 so why would they ask for him to have $1000 per week?
Also, "rule of thumb", meaning, it's not an official CIC rule, but a guideline determined by our experiences on this forum for a good amount to show for the proof of financial support.
Hope that clears it up!
