在IRCC留学签证指南中,对财务方面的要求为:
学生只需证明支付第一年学习和生活的资金,无论他们就读的课程或学习计划有多长。换句话说,进入四年制学位课程且年学费为
15,000 加元的学生,只须证明有 15,000
加元的资金就能满足要求,而不是四年所需的全部 60,000
加元。但IRCC也进一步指出,签证官员们应该对申请者未来几年的资金来源及安排感到满意(如父母有稳定的工作等)。
但是在Ibekwe
v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2022 FC 728
(CanLII)法庭判例中,法官却给出了不同的判决。
申请人Ibekwe来自尼日利亚,24岁,2014年高中毕业,收到曼尼托巴大学 university 1
program 2021年9月的入学通知,第一年学费为CAD$22,600,
每年生活费用约为CAD$11,500,申请者提供了CAD$75,992的存款证明,留学经费来自其父亲的资助。签证官以资金不足为由拒绝了其签证申请。申请人上诉,法官支持了签证官的做法,驳回了上诉。
法官判决理由如下:
[30] The UofM estimates that the Applicant requires a
total of $34,100.00 CAD per year plus travel expenses back to
Nigeria. As noted earlier in these reasons, the Acceptance Letter
states that the Applicant was accepted for year one of a four year
program. While the Applicant has enough money to pay for his first
year of school, it is not enough to support the Applicant and pay
tuition for four years. To satisfy the Officer that he met the
statutory requirements, the Applicant would have had to show a
total of $136,400 CAD plus travel expenses.尽管申请人有足够的资金来支持其第一年的学习和生活,但没有充足的资金来支持其4年的留学和生活。为满足4年留学和生活的费用,申请者需要证明其至少有CAD$136,000+返程机票费的资金。
