English course for one month. Need help

[snic15]

Hello folks. In the first place I want to thank the community, as I have made quite a lot of threads with different questions and all of them were satisfyingly answered.

Now my question is: I want to get Masters Degree in Canada ( after i complete Bachelor in my country), but before applying for a study permit I though I could take a month or a two course learning english in Canada , which I suppose would greatly benefit and improve my skills. As far as i know short term courses fall under TRV category. So besides tuition fees, how much money do I need to have on my bank account to prove that I have enough funds. I know that greatest key role getting TRV is to provide sufficient funds. ( so you won't get rejected) so my questions are following

1) As i already asked, how much do I need to have on bank account besides tuition fees ( which are around 1000-2000$)
2)How convincing would it be that I am going to Canada to study english for just 1-2 months ( considering that I live in Georgia, not in USA though)

Thanks in advance.

1- The more money you have in your account,the higher is your chance to get a visa. I had 10,000$ in my bank account when i applied for TRV. It is just my personal experience , this is not how it is or should be. I think you will be fine as long as you have the course fees,accommodation,medical insurance,return ticket,and expenses for the time period. You can always change your visa from TRV to student visa within Canada,they may approve it or disapprove it. In case of the approval, you will have to physically leave Canada,and return,which is doable by just going to the border with the US, walk out and then walk back in.

2- To get a visa to Canada is not a rocket science. They require A,B,C .... you will be okay once you provide the requirements. Have your institute letter, a letter from your homestay, return ticket,buy medical insurance,and show that you have enough money.

Good Luck

The most important thing you need to prove to be approved for a visitor visa is that your are a genuine visitor to CanadA, has strong ties to your home country and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. So you'll ideally want to show evidence of a full time job, property, etc. If you plan to do your masters in Canada then you would probably be better off waiting and applying for a study permit once you are ready to come to Canada for your masters.
