Common questions
How much bank balance is needed for a UK student visa?
Your unpaid first-year tuition plus £1,483 a month for up to 9 months in London, or £1,136 a month elsewhere, held for 28 consecutive days.
How much money do I need to show for a Canada study permit?
First-year tuition plus the IRCC living minimum (CAD 22,895 for one student outside Quebec, from September 2025), usually via a GIC.
Can an education loan be used as proof of funds?
Yes. A sanction or disbursement letter from a recognised bank is accepted by most embassies, including the USA, UK, Canada and Australia.
Can my parents' account be used?
Yes for most countries. You usually need a birth certificate and a consent letter; the UK also needs the money held for 28 days.
