However, many students are still perplexed about the precise Canada GIC Process. This article sheds light on the student GIC program of the three major banks that provide this service. The complete process of obtaining a GIC certificate from some of the most notable lenders is detailed here. Before we get into the specific steps that students must do to complete the Canada GIC process, let us first define what a GIC account <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_Od_GIC\"><\/span>Importance Od GIC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GIC is an investment scheme that requires international students to deposit a specific amount of money into a Canadian bank account. This deposit serves as proof of funds for their living expenses while studying in Canada and is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a Canadian student visa. The minimum recommended GIC amount by the Canadian embassy is CAD 10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_GIC_Amount_For_International_Students\"><\/span><strong>Recommended GIC Amount For International Students<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian embassy suggests a minimum GIC amount of CAD 10,000 for a student visa. Students can deposit between CAD 10,000 and CAD 50,000. This GIC process involves depositing a portion into a savings account and the rest into a non-redeemable account, which students can access for living expenses during their stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_GIC_Account\"><\/span><strong>Opening GIC Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students should initiate the GIC account opening process at least a month before applying for a Canada student visa. Three major banks offer GIC accounts for international students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scotiabank, Canada<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SBI, Canada<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The ICICI Bank, Canada<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the GIC processes of these banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GIC_Programs_By_Major_Banks\"><\/span><strong>GIC Programs By Major Banks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Bank<\/th><th>Registration Process<\/th><th>GIC + Processing Fee<\/th><th>Confirmation Document<\/th><th>Mode of Transfer<\/th><th>GIC Lock-in Period<\/th><th>GIC Refund Processing Fee<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Scotiabank<\/td><td>Online<\/td><td>CAD 10,200<\/td><td>Investment Directions Confirmation<\/td><td>Wire Transfer<\/td><td>Minimum 12 months.

They need to provide documents like their passport, study permit, letter of enrollment, and confirmation documents from the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GIC_Refund_Policies\"><\/span><strong>GIC Refund Policies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bank has its own GIC refund policy, so students should familiarize themselves with the specific requirements and procedures for refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Funding_Options\"><\/span><strong>Other Funding Options<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from GIC, there are three primary ways to fund higher education in Canada: scholarships, self-funding, and education loans. Many students opt for education loans to cover their expenses. However, securing a pre-visa disbursement for the GIC account can be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_Of_Popular_GIC_Programs\"><\/span>List Of Popular GIC Programs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Here&#8217;s the list of popular GIC programs for students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Program Name<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>AIESEC Global Talent Program<\/td><td>Offers a wide range of global internships in various fields<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IAESTE<\/td><td>Provides technical internships in engineering and science<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CIEE Global Internship Programs<\/td><td>Offers internships in various countries and fields<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ISA Internships<\/td><td>Provides internship programs in numerous locations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IES Abroad Internships<\/td><td>Combines academic coursework with international work<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CEA Internships<\/td><td>Offers internship opportunities for students studying abroad<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GoAbroad.com<\/td><td>A comprehensive directory of international internships<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that the availability and popularity of these programs may vary, and it&#8217;s essential to research each program thoroughly to find the one that best suits your needs and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.What is a GIC account?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For international students who want to enrol in study programs covered by the Student Direct Stream and study in Canada, the student GIC program, also known as a Guaranteed Investing Certificate, is a recommended investment method.
