Thank Dok.

One more question is that you have mentioned Financial documents (sponsorship) which means GIC we will do right

Letter of intent will be the same which we say SOP.

Please help me in the same.

Yes, GIC and those sponsoring you too: they need to add their financial statements.

SOP is diffrent. Letter of intent is a personal letter you write it yourself and submit to the visa officer telling them why you want to pursue the program you chose, your future plans and why you'll return back to your home country after your studies in Canada ends. You may also explain in this same letter if you're unable to submit any important document and why you couldn't. In general, you should add letter of intent if you want to tell the visa officer something you think they should know about you. Remember, not all applicants are invited for interviews. So you can take this chance to convey your message to the visa officer. It makes it easier for them to know who you're and process your application in a very fast way.

UPDATE

According to " http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/checklist-student-SPP-liste-etudes-PPE.aspx " , GIC is sufficient and you don't need any other document if you're applying under the SPP.

Then in your case, do the GIC and write a letter of intent (should you prefer to present yourself and if you've other explanations). Forget about the SOP as it won't apply to you anyway.

Dok Thank you very useful information.

If i apply through Spp then there is no need to provide SOP is it like that ?

Also do i need to provide balance other than GIC for paying tutition fees?
Can we pay the tuition fees from GIC?

Thanks

So far as the SPP goes, you need the GIC. The issue of paying for tuition depends on you. If you want to do more, just call/visit closest Canadian Visa Center where you will likely submit your application.

No, you cannot pay the tuition fees from GIC. To get the visa, you have to show the receipt of college tuition fees to show that you have paid fees. Otherwise they will refuse the visa.
