Hey guys,
I received a request from IRCC today to replace my tuition fee payment, to which I had already paid 10000$. According to my LOA, it is written the estimated tuition fee payment is 55000$(Harvs Air Professional Pilot Program), which is the total cost of one year program.
I cannot pay the entire amount, what am supposed to do ? @Ironclad @tapperb @captainarabiia Please Advise.

What do you mean by "replace tuition payment"? Can you share what they sent you. How much did you show for financial proof?

For SDS didn't you pay the first year tuition upfront?

Thank you for replying, actually my flight school forgot to mention I had paid prepaid my 1st year tuition fees on my deferred LOA, the VO might've gotten confused and thought $55,000 is the 1st year tuition fees and not the whole training cost. I got a letter from Harvs Air, stating the amount I have paid and the total amount of the training. I wrote a letter from my side explaining the confusion, and attached it along with my tuition receipt.
I hope that will suffice ?
Thank you, I was panicking and did not frame my question properly.

Hello,

You should be fine with the moves you had made. As long as the DLI has acknowledged you with the receipt of the actual amount paid and the cost for one year pointed out, I don't think there will be any further worries except the VO is over zealous.

Best of Luck

Even I got a similar request to provide them with proof of tuition even though I paid my fees in full back in March 2020.

This is the message I received
Proof of tuition paid: You must submit proof that confirms you have paid your first year of tuition. This must be received at this office by: 2021/05/18.

My college said to use my receipt from March and provided me with a letter that says I have paid my full fees and don’t owe them anything.

Haha, yes. Thank you for that, I am a bit relieved right now.

Yes, that was exactly what they had requested me too. Do you mind sharing me your timeline ?
If they request us again, I don't have any other option, other than pay the entire amount, which is absurd. Keep us posted with your updates. Thank you!

The course at Harvs Air is for 1 year.
And the cost is what they've mentioned, which is $ 55,000.
So as per IRCC rules, you need to pay that amount since you've applied under SDS.

I've been to Harvs and you need to read what is on the LOA.

Duration 12 months and course $ 55,000 ? Then you need to pay that amount.

Let us see, As long as Harvs air do not have any issues, it'll be hopefully fine. @Ironclad What do you think?

As long as the financial statement is issued for one year with no outstanding balance indicated it should be fine and must be considered as 1 year tuition fee during the processing. It would be better to ping the finance department if they could help if you have not received such a statement. Sending in a web form showing the remainder funds with an explanation will also help.
