Good day house, already gathered all necessary documents for my application by next year, my only fear or concern now is the SOA and sponsorship..... Because it's lately one one the major reasons for denial.... My question are;
1 .WHAT SHOULD THE ACCOUNT LOOK LIKE, IN TERMS OF FLOW OF FUNDS AND IS THERE A PARTICULAR AMOUNT FOR CLOSING BALANCE ? You sponsor's soa will show a convincing trend that displays an ability to comfortably cater for your tuition and other living expenses without recourse to public funds. The activities a VO will look for are regular incomes (salaries or business earnings).... this gives them some confidence of continuous sponsorship.

2.CIC REQUESTS FOR AN ACCOUNT CARRYING THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR TUITION FEE PLUS 10K CAD FOR LIVING EXPENSES, ONCE I HAVE AN ACCOUNT CONTAINING THIS DO I STILL NEED TO CHECK FOR INFLOW AND OUTFLOW? IF YES WHAT SHOULD IT BE LIKE?
You can prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in Canada by showing some of the following:

* proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada;

* proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution;

* your bank statements for the past four months;
a bank draft in convertible currency;

* proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees;

* a letter from the person or institution providing you with money; and

* proof of funding paid from within Canada if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program.

3.LASTLY IF I'M USING MY SISTER'S FATHER INLAW AS SPONSOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT RELATING TO ME, HOW DO I CONVINCINGLY PROVE TO THE VO THAT HE WILL SPONSOR ME
* proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees;

* a letter from the person or institution providing you with money; I.e. an affidavit of sponsorship.

PS:I'M USING MY DAD ACCOUNT WITH CLOSING BALANCE OF 5M AS SECONDARY ACCOUNT,

THANKS ALL IN ADVANCE

Thanks so much for this. Do you think proposed supervisors would talk about funding without admission first? I'm also trying the US and I've mailed several proposed supervisors but most of them do not respond and if they do, they usually indirectly imply that funding and admission decisions are not in their hands and they refer you to the grad cord. The grad cord on the other hand can only tell you if your profile is competitive or not, he can't guarantee you either admission or funding until the application pool is examined first. I really hope canadian supervisors would be different

Folaroyal:

Ohhh... So sorry to hear that!... This will not deter you.... will it??
But are you certain it is just travel history or with other reasons?
It's really unlikely to be just travel history... isn't?
Kindly reconfirm.

i have no idea how funding goes in the US, not even the slightest idea, but canada's case is different. Supervisors fully control who to grant RA (research assistantship)/TA afterall it is from their research grants they pay the students. But for external ones like departmental funding (in some cases) /faculty scholarship/external scholarships, these are beyond the scope of supervisors and they can only provide recommendation letters.
So yes, you can (and you are even encouraged to) discuss funding the moment a supervisor is interested in you working with him, even before you apply. So you'll know your funding status asides from other bonuses like entrance scholarship, international scholarship etc.

By the way, with this your concern for funding, i don't want to say this to discourage you but i really hope your cgpa is very very strong.

Osemigho:


Nice accounts. Hope you establish the relationship and commitment well.
I wish you the best in your app.

freeradical:
I've been experiencing the exact same thing so far. Getting those faculty members to reply you positively on the issue of funding is quite difficult. I've written no less than 12 different potential supervisors for the four programs I applied for with three Canadian schools. Only a few replied me saying their labs are currently full. The larger proportion just kept mum and I don't know if they are considering my application still or aren't quite interested in me.

I think I have a pretty strong profile for d programs I applied for.

Exactly. Someone suggested I send them a gentle reminder after the first few days of silence. It worked; a significant number of them responded after the second email. Though they were mostly the usual excuse-based responses but I felt better knowing my stand. You should do that too.

By the way, what schools did you apply to and what course?

Osemigho:


You have the best answer already but lemme add little.

Except for few schools, I know, most time, the admission is just for a supervisor to agree to supervise you and acceptance comes with finding. In some cases, you and your supervisor both develop a research proposal together.

For most Canadian research programs, you have the "get a Supervisor" challenge to solve. I can assure you that unlike US professors that you don't reply, most reply "no space" or best refer you to another if they like your profile or proposal. It is challenging task that you need to embrace yourself for before you start. Some are blessed and favoured with little effort but most sweat. Personally I was favoured but still ended mailing many Prof to get few "yes" and their yeses still doesn't guarantee acceptance.

Best application time for funding is between September and January. You came at the deadline period.

Feel free to ask the house more questions.

It is well. All the best bro. Shalom!

freeradical:
Yes I plan to send them all a soft reminder after the new year celebration. Most of them r on vacation currently.

I applied to McGill University with one application fee for 2 msc programs Biological and biomedical engineering and biochemistry. Second is university of Toronto msc biochemistry while third is UBC msc biochemistry.

What about yours?
