Scotiabank Student GIC Program
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

1) Q. What is a GIC?
A. A Guaranteed Investment Certificate or GIC is a
Canadian investment that offers a guaranteed rate of
return over a fixed period of time.

2) Q. Why do I need a GIC?
A. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC) guidelines under the Student Partners Program
(SPP), you will require approximately $10,000
Canadian (CAD) per year, not including tuition fees, to
cover your living expenses. This requirement is fulfilled through the purchase of a GIC.

3) Q. What is the Student Partners Program (SPP)
and which institutions are included in this Program?
A The SPP is a joint pilot project between Citizenship
and Immigration Canada’s visa offices in India and
China and the Association of Canadian Community
Colleges (ACCC). For more information and to see the list of
participating institutions please visit: http:// www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/spp-
ppe.aspx?lang=eng&view=d

4) Q. Is it mandatory to purchase a GIC?
A. The Canadian High Commission advises as
follows:
PREFERRED OPTION for proof of funds: Evidence of
purchase of a special Guaranteed Investment
Certificate (GIC) from a participating Canadian financial institution (bank), in the amount of $10,000
CAD to cover living expenses for your first year in
Canada and evidence of payment for your first year’s
tuition.
As an alternate option, you can fulfill the financial
requirement by submitting a copy of the receipt for the first year’s tuition fee AND a copy of an Educational
Loan from an Indian Chartered Bank equivalent to
$10,000 CAD. For more information on the above, please refer the
Student Partners Program (SPP) Checklist in the link
