That’s a great and important question! Before making any payment (whether for tuition fees, application fees, or deposits) to a Canadian educational institution, parents and students should carefully verify the following documents and information:

1. Offer Letter / Letter of Acceptance (LOA)

- Ensure the offer/acceptance letter is from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.
- The letter should include the student’s name, program details, duration, tuition fees, and official letterhead with a DLI number.
- Confirm the authenticity by checking the university/college’s official website or contacting their admissions office.

2. Fee Payment Instructions

- Payment instructions should come directly from the institution’s official email or portal.
- Cross-verify the bank account details and payment method (often via Flywire, Western Union, or direct bank transfer to the institution).
- Never transfer money to a personal account or third party.

3. Invoice or Fee Breakdown

- Request a formal invoice or a detailed fee structure from the university/college.
- The invoice should match the details in your offer letter.

4. Refund Policy Document

- Review the institution’s official refund policy (usually available on their website or as a separate document).
- Understand the conditions for refund in case of visa denial or withdrawal.

5. Official Communication

- All correspondence should come from the institution’s official email domain (e.g., @university.ca).
- Double-check contact details on the institution’s official website.

6. Designated Learning Institution (DLI) Verification

- Check that the institution is listed on the Canada DLI list.
