Have I ever been denied visa to the US: I was denied one in 2016 for my sister's graduation.

Do I have parents in the US: yes I do

Do I have siblings in the US: Yes I do

Who is my sponsor: my uncle in Canada who is a medical doctor.

Good afternoon everyone. Please I'd like to know if I can fill in No to having parents and siblings in the US during my application even when I do have my parents and siblings in the US. I want to know if it won't affect my chances of getting a visa.

Good evening everyone. I'm Olu, a prospective MSc student in Canada. So far, I've sent over 40 cold mails to PIs and I was lucky to get one in Laurentian University. Sudbury, ON. The problem now is that he mentioned that the assured funding I will be getting is $15kCAD/yr which can be supplemented with 9kCAD graduate teaching assistant salary. The school fees is 22kCAD/yr and, with cost of living, that'd be 32k/yr. The GTA position can only be given after I've registered for two terms (Fall and Winter terms). In addition to the 15k stipend, the 9k brings the total funding I'd be getting to 24k leaving a deficit of 8kCAD still.

At the moment, I can raise #3M (not sure of the equivalence in CAD) before I apply for visa (I'm applying for Fall 2023 intake). I'll really appreciate input on how to go around this as I'm lost as to how to navigate myself from here.

Specifically, will the VO honour a promise of GTA that is not assured (although the supervisor mentioned that I'll definitely be getting it) as part of my POF? I intend to keep shooting mails at less expensive schools but I don't want to lose the bird at hand yet.

Responses would be highly welcome.

Thank you.
