Is the fixed deposit in my mother's name acceptable as proof of funds for the visa application in Canada?

Yes, a fixed deposit (FD) in your mother's name is generally accepted as proof of funds for your Canada student visa application. Immigration authorities allow funds from parents or legal guardians if you show legal access to the money.

You will need:
- Sponsorship letter from your mother stating her intent to support your studies, with details of the amount and relationship.
- Recent bank statement showing the FD amount and your mother's name.
- Affidavit of support from your mother (not always mandatory, but helpful), preferably notarized.

These documents help confirm your financial support meets current visa requirements. If you need help preparing them, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
