I'm providing the financial support for someone to come to Canada as an International Student.
They need to prove that they can pay for their first year as a student as one of the requirements.
I can write a letter but also they will likely need some financial proof from me.
I don't want to send the personal info i.e. bank statements etc.. as I am not applying myself for the Visa
Can I do something like write in the letter that CIC can contact me directly for the financial documents if they require it?

A letter is not enough - CIC isn't going to take your word for it and will not contact you directly for the financial documents. Financial documents (e.g. bank statement) proving you have the funds available to provide the support you have promised must be included as part of the study permit application.

There has got to be some way to not to have to send your personal financial documents and financial situation in the mail to a 3rd party to apply for a Visa.
There has to be a way to get it directly to a CIC officer please if anybody has been in this situation and can help
The 3rd party (the person apply for the student visa) is supposed to be someone you know extremely well (e.g. very close family member) and that's why you're willing to sponsor them. If you aren't willing to send your financial information to that person so that they can include it in their study permit application - then it will be pretty clear to CIC that you don't have a close relationship with this individual and they will doubt that you are in fact willing to act as sponsor.

FYI - even if that person is going to be living at your house, they must still demonstrate that have an additional $10K to cover living expenses. In other words, the fact they will be living with you isn't a substitute for showing the $10K in living expenses.

These responses aren't helping answer my questions...giving me info I already know. Wondering how you submit personal financial documents to CIC directly if you are sponsoring someone. Has nothing to do with my relationship with the person I am sponsoring. Just want to do it securely. If someone who has been through this who can help. Thanks.

You can't send your financial info directly to CIC. you need to give your all financial info to that person who you are sponsoring. He/She will submit the files to cic to review with his/her other files and applications.

Based on my personal experience, it would help if you could provide a letter stating your intent to sponsor whoever you're sponsoring and your relationship with the applicant. However, this will not be enough because the officer will need proof that you can indeed sponsor the applicant by providing financial documents such as bank statements. Telling CIC to contact you will not be effective because they won't bother calling you to verify and ask for more information/documents. They would instead base their decision on the documents that the applicant has provided. It is the applicant's sole responsibility to make sure all documents needed to prove he/she meets the requirements are submitted, without the visa officer asking for more along the process.

Just my thought. I know because I too did this and asked my uncle to write a letter and provided his bank statements.

when you reapply for the student permit for the second or third time, does it have to be new documents every time or when you submit one document for the first time should you submit that exact one again?

Your father's friend is not a good sponsor and much more likely to lead to refusal. You really should have your parents or an immediate family member sponsoring your studies.

He is a business man and he provided an officail letter from his business written on it that all my fees are on him, he will provide his bank statment. Do you think this is consider as scholarship from business man who wants to help a student.
