Hi,
I am in Canada on Visitors Visa and got unfunded Ph.D. admission from McGill university. I have managed to get a differential fee waiver for the first year and hence would be paying only around 5K $ in the first year in fees. While applying for CAQ how much financial support I have to show, should it be only for one year (5K tuition + living expenses) or for all of my stay (i.e. 5 yrs)?

for CAQ u dont need financialy support doc.....just follow the list..its a very straight forward process ....
 
Thanks for the response mead, but are you sure I dont need financial docs? The following link says something different. :(

mmigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/students/obtaining-authorizations/certificat-acceptation/country-canada.html

BTW I think I should clarify that I am an Indian Citizen currently in Canada on a temporary visa, and would be applying for immigration from with-in Canada. Hope that gives you a clearer picture now.

Thanks
 
You need to apply for a study permit from your home country, India.

Foreign Nationals on Visitor Visas are not allowed to apply for a study permit from inside the country.

how ru going to apply for visa? CAQ from within country and Visa from out side ....????
 
Hi Josh,
Thanks for response, but what you say is not correct. If your spouse is already studying here, then you can apply for study/work permit from inside Canada. So that's not a problem. My main concern is only the financial docs, sicne arranging them would take some time,and that would on the whole delay the visa process. Thanks.
 
Ok Guys,
I probably got my Answer. The necessary docs required depends upon the location from where you apply . So if you apply from within Canada, you do need to show the financial docs. If I had applied from India, they wouldnt have asked me to submit those docs. I think my doubts got answered. Thanks for your help.
