[Urgent] Study Permit Financial Proof? Mine or parents'?

[pilotfromhk]

Hi all.

I am applying the study permit and it is stated that I need to submit the documents for financial proof.
So my school fee and living expense will be paid by my parents.

Should I
1) Ask my parents to transfer the money into my account and provide the Bank Statement of myself (maybe my parents' too to show they are the one who give me the money)?
OR
2) Provide the Bank Statement of my parents and write a letter stating that they are going to support me?

I saw some people said that if that is a lump sum transfer into my account (i.e. Method 1), it may look suspicious to the immigration officer.
At the same time writing a letter (Method 2) may require the present of a lawyer which is a bit troublesome.

Any experience/advice?

You don't state your age or give any background information.

If you're an 18 year old straight out of secondary school and living with your parent, you would never be expected to be in a financial position to support yourself. If you're a 30 year old with a spouse and children and working, you'd be expected to provide some personal financial support.

I am 22 years old and just graduated from University.
So you would suggest that I use Method 2?

Your parent's bank account and financial documents is sufficient as long as you can present a letter of sponsorship from them as well. A side note though: you might have your application refused for previous education not matching study goals.

I see. Is there a special format for the letter or I can just write it myself?
