Will having funds in my parents' limit accounts be considered strong enough for the visa application in Canada/New Zealand?

Yes, funds in your parents' bank accounts are generally accepted for student visa applications to both New Zealand and Canada, as long as you provide the required documentation.

You must submit:
- Recent bank statements from your parents showing sufficient funds
- Proof of relationship (such as your birth certificate)
- A sponsorship letter from your parents confirming their financial support

These documents help prove the funds are genuinely available for your studies and living expenses. Requirements are subject to change, so ensure your documentation is current and complete.

Cash income, business income or no ITR?
