Hi guys,
I was accepted on a Canadian university in Vancouver for a one year study programm and I am working on my application for the study permit right now. I already searched in the forums for a bit and found many answers to some of my questions, great to see that this forum exists and helps a lot of people .
However, there still are some questions I didn't find the answers too:
I answered a lot of questions online on the CIC website and got a personal checklist code and a list of documents I need to submit. Now I want to make sure I understand all of those documents right before I start uploading the documents since I am already quite late with my application:
- Application Form for Study Permit Made outside of Canada (IMM 1294) : this one is pretty easy I guess, just fill in the blanks, there already is a lot of help for this on the forum.
- Student Exchange Letter : Now this could be the Acceptance Letter from my university that I already received, but :
- Letter of Acceptance : This could be the Letter too? If yes, what is the other one?
- Passport or Travel Document : Self - explaining
- Proof of Means of financial support : My father is going to pay for me. Is it required for him to have a canadian bank account or can he just fill out a special form to confirm his payment for me?
- Digital photo : Self - explaining, the requirements for the photo are on their website right?
And a question concerning the overall process : In case the Visa isn't granted fast enough before my studies in Vancouver begin, would it be possible for me to just fly over, fill out one of those tourist visa thins in the airplane and still be able to enter Canada?
Alright, thats it for now. Thank you in advance for your help!
