Hello my people,
Many thanks to every contributor here.
My University offered me admission on the 9th Nov for a programme starting 8 Jan, 2018. I have been offered a graduate research assistant fellowship which is valued at 25000 CAD yearly. Although the fellowship grant does not cover my tuition, I plan to authorise my Uni to deduct my tuition from my grant. I have already started my online application, but yet to submit as I have some questions to ask us here:
1. Can the fellowship approval letter alone serve as a proof of sufficient grant to a visa officer or I may have to support this with bank statements
2. Do I stand the chance of getting TRV approval between now and, say December 31, 2017?
3. My upfront medical exam appointment is today. Do I also have to request for an upfront police certificate, or wait for it to be requested from me?
4. Any other advise you may give to facilitate the application process.

Thanks.
