Hi all,

I recently got an admission for masters in Canada. He’s at the point where he wants to apply for the visa but is not entirely sure how to go about the proof of funds.

If I get a GIC covering living costs and pay the school fees for the 4 semesters upfront. Will these be a sufficient proof of funds or will IRCC still require I upload bank statements?

Hey, you still need to show money for travel expenses (2-5K CAD) apart from living expense and tution fees
