Submitting ITR – Income Tax Return as evidence of income has not been listed specifically among the mandatory documents for submission. However, Canada Student Visa applicants must note that:
- The mindset of the Visa Officers is to ensure that the student does not become a burden on Canada’s economy and must be able to bear the cost of studies
- Students who fail to support themselves can resort to work unlawfully or in other illegal activities and no nation would be happy about this
- Submitting ITR acts as evidence or a measure that builds confidence that the student will be able to fund the education in Canada without any support externally
- Any Education loans that are approved for Study in Canada are also deemed as available sources
