Hi
Several new things came into my knowledge after reading this operating manual used by the VO to assess the students applications.see below
1) Reviewing applicants for financial sufficiency
All provinces except Quebec
Student base $10,000 for twelve-month period, prorated at $833 per month,
plus cost of tuition.
Spouse/common-law partner/
first family member base
$4,000 for twelve-month period prorated at $333 per month
Dependent child/subsequent
family member base
$3,000 for twelve-month period per dependent child of any age,
prorated at $255 per month
Quebec
Students destined for Quebec are required to submit supporting documents showing that they
have sufficient funds to cover transportation, for example:
• two-way air fare;
• tuition fees;
• settling-in expenses for the first year (C$500);
• living expenses for the duration of their stay.
• medical insurance for the duration of their stay
The living expenses required for the duration of the stay are reviewed on January 1 of each year
and may be found at:
http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/students/finding-out/educationcosts.html
If a third party is paying the student's expenses, they (e.g., parents) must submit a sworn
statement respecting the assumption of the student's expenses.
For further information on financial sufficiency of students destined for Quebec, refer to Quebec's
immigration Web site at the above-referenced address.
2)Health insurance
Applicants must be counselled about the availability of private health insurance prior to arrival in
Canada. Only Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories extend immediate coverage to
foreign students. British Columbia, Alberta, and Nova Scotia do extend health coverage, although
only after various waiting periods. For Quebec-destined students, health insurance may be a precondition of the issuance of the CAQ.
Officers should note clearly that the applicant was indeed provided with this information related to
health insurance, either through counselling or information in the application kit. However,
issuance of the study permit should not be held pending proof of private health insurance.
