Do I need to show 30 lakhs INR for first year tuition and living expenses before visa?

It depends on your actual tuition fees and living expenses. For a Canadian study permit, you must show proof of funds covering your first-year tuition plus minimum living expenses.

- Living expenses: Minimum CAD 22,895/year (as of September 1, 2025; subject to change)
- Tuition: Varies by program and institution; confirm your specific amount

If your tuition is around CAD 25,000, your total proof of funds would be about CAD 47,895 (tuition + living expenses). This can be more or less than ₹30 lakh, depending on the exchange rate and your chosen program.

Proof can include recent bank statements, an education loan, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), or a sponsor’s documents.
