Hi,

I will start my PhD in Canada in August and I am preparing the documents for the study permit. I have some concerns regarding financial proof.

For the first year of my PhD, the tuition is covered by the scholarship, and my personal savings are sufficient to cover the living expenses as required by IRCC.

However, from the second year of my PhD onward, I am likely to rely on my parents' income and savings. As I am nearly 25 (with full-time job), I am not sure whether IRCC has any concerns about me funding my PhD through my parents’ resources.

Does anyone have experience proving their financial capacity using their parents’ funds?

Thanks in advance.
