Hello,

My fiance is getting ready to apply for a student visa in Montreal Canada to study at Mcgill for Certificate of Proficiency in French
She has a bachelor degree in Fine Art and Design by computer.
She works for an international Design company in Kenya, who have clients all over Africa and Europe.
Many of those clients are french and her french is limited, which limits her in her work of field and advancement in her compa
She registered and got accepted in Intensive French Program: Certificate of Proficiency in French in Mcgill
She paid for the first 2 semester, with proof of payment
She also did the TOEFL and got a score of 8.2
I will provide her with a letter that for the duration of her staying in canada, that I will provide shelter, food and accommodation with a letter of my employer and salary.
She also has a letter from her father that he will help her financially, with bank statements.
She has a bank summary showing she has more then enough to pay and support herself for that 1 year program, also she has a letter from the bank saying she does indeed has that money in her saving account.
She has a letter from her job, describing her job titles as an artist designer and dealing with clients
I made a strong SOP stating why she choose Mcgill and Montreal.
I've been reading a lot on this website and many people get rejected because their chosen program is not related.
I am wondering What are her chances.


I am also wondering if she has better chance if I marry he, because I myself am a Canadian citizenr or on the contrary she has less chances ?

Please advise

Thank you for your input

Her chances of approval will decrease if you marry her since CIC will assume she has plans to remain in Canada long-term.

Even if you are planning on covering her living expenses, to be approved for a study permit, she must still show that she has enough money to cover these costs herself. This means that she will need to show a bank balance (her own statement or her father's statement) covering first year tuition expenses + $10K in living expenses.

I would recommend that she NOT include a letter from you saying you will cover her living expenses. This may make CIC think she is just coming to Canada to live with you and isn't a genuine student.

She will have to explain why she is coming all the way to Canada to study French - rather than completing these studies somewhere in Africa or Europe where her clients are located.

Hi again,

Thanks for the feedback.

So marrying her isn't an option : check.
The cost of the program she is undertaking is about 10K, so she needs to prove her or her parents can afford that + 10k for expenses right ?
Do I still make a letter that she lives over my place without mentioning I will pay for her or her being my fiance ?

nothing need mention from your side. it will impact wrong, stress on clear cut SOP, which state why this course,why canada n which this college n outcome of the study

Can I sent you a copy in private msg of the SOP I made and have your opinion on it please

ideally, you should not appear in this process at all. she should not mention you.
