Want a Canadian degree? Prove you can afford ₹14 lakh, or no entry from September

Starting September 1, 2025, international students seeking Canadian study permits, including many from India, must demonstrate access to CAN $22,895 (₹14 lakh). This increased financial requirement, a CAN $2,000 hike, aims to align with Canada’s actual cost of living. Applicants need solid proof of funds, like bank statements or GICs, to ensure they can afford living expenses during their studies.
