To pay tuition fees or not?

[SFKAS]

Hi all,

I am currently restoring my status as a student. I have got admission offer and all other documents ready.

I am really unsure if I should pay the tuition fees and attach the receipt OR should I apply without paying the tuition fee

I have other financial documents showing that I have enough funds to support myself

I have gotten opinions on the matter from a very senior lawyer who says I should pay.
I called CIC and they said it doesn't matter if I pay as long I can show I have enough funds.
Seneca's international admissions office says they have seen applications being refused if you apply without receipt.

There are conflicting opinions on the matter.

Please provide your suggestions as to what I should do

Thanks!

I'm also interested in what you are asking; hopefully someone responds. ;D

Pay. You have the money, you want to go to school. So pay. It will help prove to CIC that your intention to study in Canada is genuine.

Paying ur tuition fees increases ur chances of getting a study permit. U can always get it refunded as long as u don't get a valid study permit (u will not be charged anything other than admin fees. Make sure not to register fr the course,this will not fetch u any refund,even if u dont get a study permit)
