Proof of Financial Support (Sponsorship)

[cs1048]

I recently got my acceptance letter from a Canadian university. I will be receiving sponsorship from a relative in Canada, and will be applying for a Study Permit very soon. Since I don't have much savings, can I present their bank statements for the past four months instead of mine?

Also, would taking out a loan help, or does the money from the loan have to be in my bank account for at least four months?

Thanks for the help.

In addition to their bank statement get an affidavit from them that they will pay for your study and living. Better make it notarized and with clear explanation to VO why they are so generous to you.

So, are you saying that I don't have to present any bank statements that belong to me or my parents?

Finally, someone who I have the same issue with.

What I did was, I asked for my uncle's bank statement for four months, copy of passport and pr card, affidavit of support (notarized), letter of support (notarized), clear copy of birth certificate (to prove relationship with one of your parents) and custodianship declaration (if you are a minor and/or will be staying with them).

Do you think it would be a problem if a second-cousin is my sponsor? How can I prove such a relationship?

Well, i am always relunctant at giving people advice but i feel my advice could avert bad response from CIC for you. When it comes to financial aspect, let family from canada be your last resort.
Firstly, u wont be able to convinced them that you would come back. Inveriably, no strong family ties to ur home country.
Secondly, Financial situation of that your family member might be that strong to satiefied the finacial requirement for tuition, accomodaton and living expenses including Air Trip.
Thirdly, do have any documents to proved how ur family tie with them like marriage certificate, birth certificate, insurrance documents, changes of name documents.
Finally,ask your self these questions and ger back to me. +2348124370645. Peter

Thank you.

Like what Regina said, birth certificate of all parties involved. That's the only document that could prove you two are related.

Perhaps your birth certificate, birth certificate of your mom/dad and his/her mom or dad (whoever are siblings) and your cousin's birth certificate.

I also wanted to know whether it is advisable to obtain financial sponsorship from a non family member at all?

Just got accepted to a college this week, but will not have enough funds reflecting in my account until June, so a Canadian friend of mine has offered to pay for the year's tuition and expenses in full (and I can pay him back when I have the money etc).

Would this be a problem for the visa officers?

Grateful for any help on this matter!!

If you are planning to solely rely on your relative's sponsorship, then you don't have to. But if you consider using your parents as sponsors, apart from your relative, you may want to provide their bank statements as well, as long as the amount shown can be sufficient for your other needs.
