Under SDS category, you will deposit C$10,000 in a GIC account, to account for cost of living and will pay the 1st year of tuition. If your program is a one-year program, these funds may be sufficient to an extent. But if your program is a 2 year program, you'd be better off attaching proof of finance to prove you have funds for the 2nd year in Canada and to pay your 2nd year tuition. It really depends on that.
