Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about blocked accounts, GIC processes, and visa limits.
Q:How does the Study Abroad Cost Calculator work?
The calculator estimates your total expenses by combining tuition fees, visa fees, health insurance, average flight costs, and monthly living costs multiplied by your program duration, alongside GIC/Blocked account proof of funds.
Q:What is the difference between a GIC and a Blocked Account?
Both are mandatory financial proof mechanisms. A GIC is used in Canada (C$20,635) and a Blocked Account (Sperrkonto) is used in Germany (€11,904). Both release funds monthly to cover your living costs.
Q:Can I work part-time while studying abroad?
Yes. In Canada, students can work up to 20 hours per week off-campus (or more during breaks). In Germany, international students can work 140 full days or 280 half days per year.
Q:How much is the GIC requirement for Canada in 2026?
The current GIC requirement is C$20,635 for a single applicant. This must be deposited into a recognized Canadian financial institution prior to applying for a study permit.
