Hello
I just got an acceptance letter from Georgian college in Ontario, and am going to submit an application for a study permit. in the cost of tuition section on the IM1294, should I put down only the tuition for the first year of study (15000) or all three years of study?

secondly, I have already paid 8735$ to confirm my place in the program, should I deduct this from my tuition costs?

thirdly, I have two letters. one was the first one I received after getting accepted, stating that I have been accepted to the program and also outlining my tuition fee along with the expected living expenses and stating the work requirement of my program. the second was the letter i got after paying the 8735$ and only stated that I have paid the mentioned sum and have been officially accepted to the program and if any more information is required, they should contact them.
which one should I upload as the letter of acceptance?

lastly, should I put down the room and board expenses for the first year or for the entire duration of the program?

if I have 38500$ available in my bank account and my tuition for the first year is 15000 and I have already paid 8735$ and room/board is around 750 per month. do I meet the financial requirement for the study permit?

thanks

That will not be enough to cover 3 years of tuition and living costs. Where do you plan to get the rest of the money?

You only need to show funds for the first year of tuition the funds for the second year will be collected during the year. as for living expenses, I need to show 10000 for each year of stystso basically 30000. And I have 38000 which covers the three year living expenses and the other half of the tuition.
I the problem is that how do I show that I have already 8735. And should I put the tuition and expenses for 1 year or all three years on the form.

You don't need to show all of the funds upfront but you do need to show IRCC how you will fund your entire program. You should not expect to make enough money working in Canada to cover the remainder of your costs. Generally, students show financial support from parents or other close family members.

So I should upload both my parentspand my own bank statements?

What about the other part , what should I write in the cost of tuition and living expense sections?

My main problem is the 8735$ I have already paid, should I deduct that from my tutiotu cost for 3 years or should I add it tlthe funds available?
Can I upload the reciept I received for the deposit from the college along my bank statement as a source of fund?

The form asks for “funds available for your stay” which implies the VO wants to know how much funds you think are available for the entire duration of your stay - not just for the first year.

It is correct that in your bank statement you only need to show one year’s funds but you must also prove you are capable of paying the rest.

For wxample, your total expenses for one year are $100. You need to show you have these $100 in your bank account for at least a few months. If they were transferred to your account recently, you must explain where they came from.

The total cost for three years then is $300. So in addition to the $100, you need to prove to the VO you are capable of paying the remaining $200 i.e. your annual income can support this. You can demonstrate this via your bank statement if it has large transactions on a regular basis, for example.

Don't deduct it - the VO will figure it out that you have already paid a significant amount already from it.

And yes, you must upload the receipt from the college to prove to the VO you have paid for a semester.
