@jai_sun Hey, If you’re planning to study in Canada, you’ll need to apply for a study permit, which is the official student visa. The process can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but once you know what documents are required, it becomes much easier to manage.

Here’s a list of the key documents you’ll need:

1. Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)

2. Passport (valid for the duration of your studies)

3. Bank Statements showing proof of funds

4. Passport-size Photograph

5. Statement of Purpose (SOP)

6. IELTS or TOEFL Score Report

7. IMM 1294 – Study Permit Application Form

8. Visa Fee Payment Receipt

9. Medical Examination Report

10. Police Clearance Certificate (if required)

And yes, it’s completely okay if the bank account and financial documents are under your parents’ name. You’ll just need to include a sponsorship letter from them and attach their bank statements, income proof, or ITR documents to support the application.
