Budgeting for your Canadian study permit application is essential.

You'll also need to factor in tuition fees for your chosen program, which can range significantly from KES 1,000,000 to KES 4,000,000 per year depending on the institution and program length. Living expenses, including accommodation, food, and transportation, will add to this, often estimated between KES 80,000 to KES 150,000 per month. Proof of sufficient funds, typically covering your first year's tuition and living costs, is a key requirement for the study permit. Thorough financial planning ensures a smoother application process.
