No NSF. I just got this email. Where did you do your
biometrics?

Tjaychic:
Did you get a previous NSF Mail? I got this mail after my NSF.

NSF was 27th Jan. This mail was received on 31st Jan.
Biometrics 24th Jan. Paid priority.
Application still at DMC as at now...

So it's a way to say the application may take some more time than the usual timeline...

I am finding it difficult to submit an application.

Dear Tobby10,
Have your bank send them your bank statement via MyBank.
The MyBank process allows your bank send the embassy your authentic bank statement directly in a secured format. Your bank will issue you a certificate/ticket that confirms your transaction. While you do this, still request your bank to write a confirmation letter on the authenticity of the statement. Your bank not want to write owing to the fact they did not send the bank statement directly to the embassy as their is the possibility of alteration in between the processes.
Take note again that the embassy is not questioning the authenticity of ur SOA in blindness. There is a red flag somewhere and be careful of your responses.

Overall, let your bank respond on your behalf.

Good luck

Are you talking out of experience or mere assumptions?By guaranteed funding does not imply that the funding can not be rescinded. I am telling you without any fear of contradiction that funding for PhD students are rescinded once the student is not succeeding in his or her research work. Are u not also aware that students who apply with only showing funding from the school are Also refused study permit because they did not show funding on their part mostly especially students coming from developing countries.? I am talking from experience and not mere logic.
quote author=fratermathy post=94108943]

Some universities give what they call "guaranteed minimum funding". Not all funding comes from supervisors. In fact, in many schools the funding comes from the department or other internal sources rather than from the supervisor. Basically, the VO doesn't even need your personal SoA if you have a minimum "guaranteed" funding letter. Although it's always advised to add your personal SoA for all visa applications.

Funding from supervisors cannot be rescinded once applied. It's an automated process. Once you get a signed letter with a specific duration of funding, it holds. The only issue is if the duration doesn't exceed one year. In that case, the student can have some issues in the following years should funding not be available.

For PhD students, I'd advise that they always get minimum guaranteed funding for 4 years. Most of my friends at McGill, Concordia and Alberta have minimum guaranteed funding of at least C$20,000 per year for 4 years. This amount can be supplemented by TA/RAships, external scholarships or supervisor's grants. They are all in the Humanities/Social Sciences.

It is only in the pure sciences that supervisors can fully fund their students and so I don't know how things operate with that system. [/quote]

[Mitacs funding requires that you must have an admission already and both you, your supervisor and an organisation where you will do your internship are in agreement and the organisation must have accepted that your research work suits their interest and also ready to provide their own part of the funding. quote author=skull4eva post=94107303]
Checked out dr thomas but he into ecosystems more of biology. The MITACS accelerated funding will help[/quote]

PhD funding from the university alone can not get get you study permit. You must also show proof that you have your own personal funding or a reliable source of funding from your immediate family. The reason is this: perhaps you are not doing well with your research and your supervisor decides to kick you out, the question is how do you cope. The VO expect that you should be able to prove that you can cope financially pending when you are able to make a decision either leaving or getting another opportunity.
