An attestation of financial support is generally required when applying for a VISA to study in a foreign country. This is the case, for example, in Quebec (Canada), whereas a parent, we have engaged in writing to cover all our child’s expenses during their studies (tuition fees, living expenses, care, etc.).
Immigration authorities require the attestation. Please note that it is often one of the elements used to assess the financial guarantees needed. It must be accompanied by a copy of bank statements and salary slips to obtain a positive response to the visa application.
The requirements for proof of financial aid may vary from country to country or from institution to institution. Therefore, it is essential to determine the specific requirements before issuing this attestation.
