The earliest delivery time is 3 months before the commencement date (the visa payment date must be within 3 months of the commencement date on CAS).

As for the security fund, students can prepare it four months in advance. For example, when students start school on 9. 17, they can submit it on 6. 17 at the earliest, and the student's deposit can be prepared at the beginning of May or earlier, and the deposit will not be used until the contract is signed.
