Sponsorship with Student Visa...

[zestweb]

Hi,

I want to know how sponsorship works with Student Visa. I have an acceptance letter, and for proof of funds I would show the following of my sponsor (my brother in law who lives in Australia).

For Sponsorship:
1. One reference letter (good if it's on official letter head) showing,

- Sponsor occupation
- Relationship to you
- Number of dependent.
- Full Contact details.
- One letter from the Sponsor's employer (on a letter head) showing;

1. Employer contact details
2. Business address.

* If sponsor lives abroad, you also need;

1. Passport copy with Visa status.
2. SIN number /Identity card, if any.
3. ITR details.
4. Bank statement

My sponsor has about $23,000 in their bank which suffices the visa requirements (one year tuition fee + 3000 travel fee + 10,000).
I want to know if there would be any issue for my visa acceptance and any ways to make my case stronger.

Thanks

You forgot to mention your sponsors income source like business or employed proof I think. IF you can give property papers or investment in your country it also shows a good point but not mandatory.

anyone with further knowledge? Is it difficult to get student visa when sponsored by relative?

No, its not difficult if you can prove blood relationship.

my sponsor is going to be my 2nd cousin and brother in law... how do I prove blood relation?

In this case Give a strong reason why he not your father or mother is not sponsoring you in the SOP.
