How many months/years of old funds are required to show as source of funds for the visa application process in Canada/Germany?
14 Jul 2026 · Answered by Prakhar Pragy Dixit · 1 min read
You typically need to show recent proof of funds for your student visa application:
- Canada: Bank statements covering the last 4 months are required. The balance should be stable, with no sudden large deposits, to demonstrate genuine financial capacity.
- Germany: You must show access to the required funds (currently €11,904 for one year) for at least 3 months before your visa application.
Funds should be readily available and not locked in non-liquid assets.
