Visa Process
All the International students are required to obtain a Student Authorization and
a Visa before going to Canada for studies and meet the requirements of
the Canadian Immigration Regulations. The candidate applying for the visa must
give the authority a period of 2 months for the Visa to be processed.
Funding
A student planning to apply under Student Partners Program (SPP) process needs
to purchase a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (G.I.C.) account and
deposit CAD$ 10,200 as a proof of their living expense for one year in their
account.
After receiving the Letter of Acceptance from the college, the student needs to
process for the G.I.C., which takes around 10 to 15 working days.
Initially, the student needs to create a new email id with Scotia Bank. This process
takes 4 to 5 days. After that the student needs to make a payment from his/her
account through a wire transfer and pay CAD$ 10,200 and from that CAD$ 10,000
would be deposited in their G.I.C. and CAD$ 200 is deducted as Administration
charge by Scotia Bank.
After the payment is done, it may take up to 3 or 4 days for the money to get
credited in the G.I.C. account.
The student needs to take a print of the receipt of payment in G.I.C. and the
receipt should be self-attested in the file while during the application of the Visa
process.
Once the student lands in Canada, they need to open a Savings account in Scotia
Bank where they will get CAD$ 2000 right away for their living expense and the
remaining balance gets transferred in their account every alternate month in
equal installments for their living expenses in the entire year.
