Minimum POF = tuition for your entire program (even if it is a 2-year program) + $22,895 living expenses + $5,000 miscellaneous.

You know why I suggest having the full amount of your school fees available: unlike before, IRCC is really reducing the number of students they are accepting, by around 83%. So, if you don't have your full tuition amount available, remember that you are essentially competing with people who already have their tuition money in their accounts .

Think of it that way. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/reports-statistics/statistics-open-data/immigration-stats/students-workers.html

As for the documents, you can find those easy People here would be able to tell you, but if your relative wants to sponsor you, it would be necessary to establish a history of that relative supporting your education in the past, if applicable.

What IRCC will really want to understand is: Why would this person want to spend that much money on you?

If you can clearly answer that question for IRCC and provide evidence to support it, that would be very helpful.

As for the exchange rate, use Google to check the current rate. CAD is really doing badly against the naira right now..give or take its like Naira 975 to Naira 980

2 months ago it was Naira 1000

POF = Tuition fee for a year + CAD 22,895

The above is the least amount you should present as POF, it is good to add extra as "others" eg an additional CAD 3,000

All the bast

Please what’s the probability of getting a job and being able to save up to $20,000 CAD within a year?

Please don't put yourself under unnecessary pressure. As a student working only 24 hours per week during the academic term and earning minimum wage, saving CAD 20,000 within a year may be quite difficult, in my opinion. I'm not trying to discourage you I just don't want to sugarcoat the reality.

As for your other question, it's best to ask your school directly. They will be able to give you the most accurate answer since every institution has its own policies.

Generally, you should be able to defer your admission while keeping your tuition deposit on file, but please confirm this with your school...

wow. their tuition deposit is high. what I paid for SAIT was $3500.

Mavor:
it is always best for your bank funds and assets to show upfront to the Canadian embassy how you will fund your tuition and living expenses over 2 years. does your school program include co-op (work placement)? if not, its unlikely they may give your a study permit with work permission. then again, i may be wrong. dont rely on working to fund your fees and stay.

AbelAbdul:
During my time of application, my school said if my study permit is refused they will refund my tuition deposit. The only money the won't refund was the 125CAD application fee.

For POF you must show ATLEAST your one year tuition fee. If the program is more than 1yr, show how you intend to pay for the following years without having to work in Canada.
You must show you have at least $22,895CAD to cover your living expenses for one year. If your program is more than one year you demonstrate how you tend to survive for the coming years without having to work in Canada.

In my own case I used OANDA Currency Converter and my study permit was approved. It was not specified which converter to be used.

My program is two years. I showed POF for the two years tuition fees and living expenses for the two years. So there wasn't any need for me to convince them on how I intend to pay for the rest of the year. Then, after paying for the tuition deposit, I paid for one year tuition. I could have just applied for study permit with just the tuition deposit but ChatGPT advised I pay one year tuition and that was what I did.

The receipts for the tuition deposit and one year tuition fee I attached them to my POF.
