Hello..is the more than 20 hour working policy effective on Dec 7 2023 or will still be in effect in January 2024? Im confused about this because of the other link on ircc website that says that it's effective on January 1 2024. Thanks
For many students, it is "show" money. Transfers to their account to show an amount for IRCC. Afterwhich, the money is transferred back to the lender(s). To survive on working 20 hours per week is pretty much impossible here in Canada. Add on the 20 G (plus work) to spend and it is definately reasonable.
The 20k-ish POF per year is more reasonable than the previous 10k-ish. When I came here in Canada with that 10k POF, I was so frustrated coz its not actually enough. Very far from reality.
Best advice to potential international students: don't expect studies in a western country to be easy or cheap (housing crisis since pandemic ended). Inflation. Don't listen to agents back home telling u differently while also taking your $ (with some creating fraudulent documents). Canadian students pay less in tuition because Canadians have paid Canadian taxes all their lives. Are u primarily wanting to migrate to a western country (for free healthcare and to gain PR or citizenship) and doing so via being a student? Most (by far) seem to be, while also lacking sufficient funds to do so. Some are hiding this fact b4 arriving then they're very desperate for $ and cheap residence once here. Its become a big problem. Lifelong residents are competing with foreigners for affordable shelter. Bcuz the international student, immigrant, refugee, and illegal migrant population has EXPLODED since 2021 with no signs of slowing so far. Cda is trying to fix this so its more workable. Fyi: Canada is ranked in the top ten for most safe & trustworthy country in the world. Its always a work in progress.
Hello, what about if we are waiting for the Transcript of records and completion letter, can we still work more than 20 hrs a week or until what while waiting? Since there was also a policy that they extend the allowable work hours. Are we still covered with that?
Hello po! Wala po nabanggit regarding Famiy Members' increase in Cost of Living. Ano po interpretation nyo po sa new increase when it comes to Family Members po?
Technically yes, if you apply for another Study permit, you must meet the requirements again. The advantage of 1+1 is that it gives you time to accumulate more funds for the second year. Maybe you can save a lot of your POF by living very frugal.
The problem is just that they didn't increase it for 10 years and now suddenly double it. It should be increased in small increments every year to the rising costs of living.
Can i get clarification on this please? Will i have to show the proof of funds and the first year tuition all in a bank statement form or i will have to show the first year tuition with a physical or ready cash?
You have to show it in a bank statement (or multiple).Not in physical cash. But it should be funds that are liquid and stable. Not investments. See here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents.html
its for the first year, so we assume if you study for two years its better to have 40k+ for cost of living. If you your budget is limited consider 1+1 for now
Its now 20K per year. See the detailed requirements here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/assessing-application.html
Hi, If you submit your study permit application by December 31 2023, it is still the old Proof of funds. See details here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents.html#doc3
You can yes but you will likely start from scratch in that new program. Contact us here if you need assistance switching to a different school and program: www.studyliveexploreca.com/slestarterkit
Hi coach! I just have a question, my cousin came here last april as international student, how come she had given just 20hrs per week only? Is this applicapble on just a certain course/school?
Ask ko lang po.. if i pwede kona ilodge visa ko .i already have 20,635 cad on GIc and have 300k on my account.. paid 1st sem tuition fee..may laban na po ba?
Sounds like you are pretty close, this is what it says on the IRCC website: For 2024, a single applicant will need to show they have CAN$20,635, in addition to their first year of tuition and travel costs. This change applies to new study permit applications received, on or after January 1, 2024. This amount reflects updated cost-of-living requirements. Going forward, these amounts will be adjusted each year, as Statistics Canada updates the LICO.

The new minimum financial requirements only applies to new study permit applications received on or after Jan. 1, 2024.
Yes!
Thank you for making it clear...

yes, that totally true! 20K/year is reasonable

Hello po! Wala po nabanggit regarding Famiy Members' increase in Cost of Living. Ano po interpretation nyo po sa new increase when it comes to Family Members po?
There was nothing mentioned on that, correct. So assume those amounts stay the same unless they publish anything new on it.
Hi may I ask, how about students that will apply an extension or plus one, will the 20k also apply to them? Thanks!
Technically yes, if you apply for another Study permit, you must meet the requirements again. The advantage of 1+1 is that it gives you time to accumulate more funds for the second year. Maybe you can save a lot of your POF by living very frugal.
How long is the wait time at the moment?
The Study permit processing time?
See here:
www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html
I'm an international student. I agree that there is no way 10k be enough , not even enough for rent let alone for living expenses
The problem is just that they didn't increase it for 10 years and now suddenly double it.
It should be increased in small increments every year to the rising costs of living.
Can i get clarification on this please?
Will i have to show the proof of funds and the first year tuition all in a bank statement form or i will have to show the first year tuition with a physical or ready cash?
You have to show it in a bank statement (or multiple).Not in physical cash. But it should be funds that are liquid and stable. Not investments.

my goodness, such a short notice on the updated POF for those who will be studying this January
I know, i feel bad for those people who are about to submit their app, they have to pull the 10k more before submitting the visa
Hi,Parent here,the cap on international student's applicable only for ottawa or for students apply for any province across canada?
As of right now there is no cap. They are talking about it, but its not clear and decided yet.
Thanks..
Nothing much to worry
Hi Coach MC, the 10,635 additional POF is per year? If I will take a 2 year program then I need 41,270 for cost of living.
its for the first year, so we assume if you study for two years its better to have 40k+ for cost of living. If you your budget is limited consider 1+1 for now
I got accepted into 2 years diploma program. Should I prove 2-year living expenses, which will be 40,000 CAD, or one year is enough?
40,000 CAD is it 30$ USD
You definitely need at least one year, but two years is much better.
If I submit my application, will this new rule be applied on my application or not. Or the application that will be submitted after 1 January 2024?
apply for study permit before Jan 01, 2024
Can I work full time now as an IS ? because I work 20hrs only
See here:
www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/work-off-campus.html
Hi, will the 20k POF enough to be accepted for a 2 yr program? Or do I need 40k for pof?
Its now 20K per year.
See the detailed requirements here:

is possible to apply visa by using condition letter and LOA from English at saint mary's university?
Thank you.
Not sure what you mean. To apply you need to have an LOA for a program that qualifies for a study permit.
Thank you for this amazing information ❤
you’re welcome 🥰
Is it enough 30$ USD bank statements in one year program
hmmmm its hard to tell as I dont know your program and your province too. Might be but better to increase it if u can
Please wich program you choose for 1 year?
I’m confused po? I submitted my application last May 2,2023 and I’m already here in Canada last August? Am I eligible to work more than 20hrs?😬
See the detailed requirements here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/work-off-campus.html
How long did your student visa take after applying? First time approval?
How about po nakarecieved na ng LOA conditonal sa nbcc last dec 9? 10k cad parin po ba?
