ApplyBoard is collaborating with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) to offer you the International Student GIC Program. It’s an easy and convenient way to obtain Proof of Financial Support for your Canadian study permit application, to help you take your next steps on your Canadian study abroad journey.
A key requirement when submitting a study permit application to the Government of Canada is for students to demonstrate an ability to support themselves financially during their studies in Canada. By using ApplyProof, ApplyBoard’s document verification platform, international students can strengthen their study permit application with the added trust and security of a digitally verifiable Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), provided by RBC.
Greater Trust and Efficiency
“The journey for international students coming to Canada can be complex and time consuming. Our integrated solution with ApplyBoard helps to make that journey a little easier,” says Amit Brahme, Senior Director, Newcomer and Cultural Client Segment, RBC. “RBC has a longstanding history of and commitment to supporting newcomers, including international students, who bring innovative ideas and fresh perspectives to campus communities across Canada.”
A stand-alone platform developed by ApplyBoard, ApplyProof transforms the way official student documents are accessed, verified, and shared with immigration officials, admissions officers, and other applicable stakeholders in the study permit process. Through this unique collaboration with RBC, international students will be able to apply for a GIC, which can be verified in a matter of seconds, if required, via the ApplyProof Platform.
