in employment in Canada. For example, students
without accompanying dependants must demonstrate
that they have at least $10,000 Cdn plus the
cost of tuition for a twelve-month period, plus
the cost of transportation to and fro from Canada.
Canadian $10,000 is the base amount considered
adequate to cover all costs, other than tuition,
for one person for a twelve-month period. Some
educational institutions require that more funds
be available; if the local cost of living is
higher than average, more money may also be
required.

instructions. Students and accompanying dependants
