McGill Canadian Customs Proof of Living Expenses

<p>Hi, Everyone. I was admitted to an MA program for music at McGill as an international student (USA). I'm very excited about this, but don't know how to have $10,000CAN magically appear in my bank account to prove financial stability. Still working off the heaps of debt from undergrad and working a low paying job after doing very well in undergrad but graduating with non-cookie cutter degrees (as this is the situation for many, I understand). My point being, for those accepted to an international school, like McGill, are you taking out personal loans to pay for the living expenses as well as tuition? I also studied in Germany as an undergrad and needed to prove living expense money to obtain a residence permit However, the amount was not nearly as much money as needed for Canada. Just curious how people are coming up with the money and I'm trying to keep up hope to study at McGill. Would appreciate any responses, greetings.</p>
