The Canadian government has introduced stricter financial assessment measures for international students applying for study permits, with immigration officers now instructed to closely examine both the amount of money applicants present and the source of those funds.
Under the updated guidelines, visa officers will conduct more rigorous reviews to ensure applicants have sufficient financial resources to cover tuition fees, living expenses and other costs associated with studying in Canada.
The new measures also require officers to verify that the funds presented are genuine, legally obtained and readily available for the applicant's use throughout their studies.
The policy forms part of Canada's broader efforts to strengthen the integrity of its international student programme, prevent fraud and ensure that prospective students are financially prepared for life in the country.
The development is expected to affect future study permit applicants, including Nigerians and other international students, who may now be required to provide more comprehensive financial documentation during the application process.
