Yes, parents can absolutely sponsor their child’s studies in Canada!

Here’s how it works:

1. Proof of Funds Requirement

When applying for a Canadian student visa (Study Permit), the student must show proof that they have enough funds to cover:
- First year’s tuition fees
- Living expenses (minimum CAD 20,635 per year outside Quebec, higher if studying in Quebec)
- Return transportation for themselves and any accompanying family members

2. Parents as Sponsors

Parents can sponsor the student by providing:
- Bank statements showing sufficient funds in their (parents’) accounts
- A sponsorship letter stating their relationship to the student, their commitment to fund the student’s education and living costs, and details of their financial capacity
- Supporting documents such as pay slips, income tax returns, and property documents

3. Required Documents

- Sponsorship Letter from parents (detailing support)
- Bank Statements (last 4-6 months)
- Proof of income (salary slips, IT returns, etc.)
- Relationship proof (birth certificate, etc.)
- Affidavit of Support (sometimes required for extra clarity)

4. Things to Note

- Funds must be clearly available and accessible for education purposes.
- If funds are in India, it’s advisable to show liquid assets (savings, fixed deposits).
- If parents are self-employed, business registration and IT returns are required.
- If using an education loan, the sanction letter from the bank is required.
