Yes, you can show your mother and father as sponsors for your study abroad application. This is a common and accepted practice.

For your Canada study permit, you’ll need to provide:

- Sponsorship letter from your parents confirming their financial support.
- Proof of funds such as their bank statements or employment letters to show they can cover your tuition and living expenses.
- Proof of relationship like your birth certificate.

Listing your parents as sponsors demonstrates strong financial backing for your studies. If you need help preparing these documents, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
