I can be of help

It's advisable and not compulsory. This helps to prove your relationship with the individuals and strengthen your home ties if they are not going with you.

Birth certificate helps to prove they are related to you based on the details therein. You could use their valid IDs showing these information if you don't have their birth certificates.

Good luck

1) For most people, the study route is a means to an end, coupled with the additional work of getting a supervisor and getting funded, it's not an easy feat.
PhD requires huge commitment that most people are not ready to commit to, except if they have interest in academia.

As a result, the number of people going for a research based program is fewer compared to those going to colleges and course based programs where admission can be easily obtained.

2)I have seen numerous Masters applicant with funding that covers tuition and living expenses. P.hD applicants are usually few ,but I'm sure most of their funding covers tuition and living expenses. Yearly funding for Ph.D is usually more than that for Master's in the same course.

3) If you are fully funded and it covers tuition and living expenses, you would need to provide a proof of this (through admission letter showing the amount of funding, a letter of support from your supervisor to the V.O stating the research you are coming to undertake in his/her lab, stating you would be in teaching assistantship/research assistantship, the amount of funding and that the funding would take care of your tuition and living expenses). With the above, I believe the POF you would need to show wouldn't be major, probably something to cater for flight ,miscellaneous and first month stay before receiving stipend.

If the funding doesn't cater fully for tuition and living expenses, it is expected you provide the offset in your POF.

4)I really don't know, But why would one want to undergo a P.hD that is not fully funded. It is baffling to me.

It is until you must have submitted your application as a first time applicant and done biometrics before your have UCI. Since you’re not a second time applicant, you should ignore.

1. It will not affect your application if the 60 days to submit an online application elapse.
2. These are the IMM forms required to apply as a single applicant, assuming you are not using a representative or designating someone;
IMM1294, IMM5257b_1, IMM5645E.
3. I would advise you to attach them to your application's appropriate section and not just merge them to your SoP. I’m not sure if it is acceptable to embed documents as hyperlinks. So, I would advise you to attach copies instead.

I learnt that you need my attention on your refused Application. Going by what you've done and plan to do in order to salvage the concerns of the visa officer. I will further advice you provide a property in your name and if possible get a real estate surveyor to value the property. This will considerably help your case and overcome the issues in your last application.


It will end in praise

NGOZIGLORI:
Pls could you throw more lights on this Mpower loan....am interested in it .
Thank you

jaydave:
Get mpower and add it to d phd funding as pof

jaydave:
Maybe he should look for a sponsor .
Yes! those guys doing the pof tin charge d range of 3-3.5% .. so 150k for 5m is true .
But this parole works well for UK compared to Canada, UK doesnt really give a damn about lump sum amount but Canada does. Uk jus wanna see u maintain dat amount for 28days but that isn’t applicable for Canada . Unless he can use documents to explain the lump sum anyway, maybe to claim its return on xoxoxo investment or sales of xoxoxo property , but then he must back it up with proof

Welsh2np:
To be on the safe side of IRCC, advice him to get extra POF.
...

...
speaking of which: the $19k funding he got would be paid to him AFTER he resumes, settles down and possibly opens a Canadian account. So let’s be realistic, how does he hope to cover the cost of flight, housing for the first few weeks and settling down allowances?

(I stand to be corrected on the kind of funding tho. Do they pay him his funding even BEFORE he arrives?)

jaydave:
Your Tuition plus additional $10k Cad ,thats what is required by ircc atleast to be available on ur pof.. Even if d funding is enough to cover all d tuition and d additional 10k required, it makes sense if u can further show to the VO that without the funding or work in Canada , you will be good to go and financially ok to live in Canada during your study years

jaydave:
What university biko ?
Yes , u would show statement for the remaining expenses the PhD funding didn’t cover

Since the USA embassy only deals with PASSPORT (as identification means) and your NIN (As Passport collection means after Visa approval) and it has already been issued by immigration, it should not be a big deal. Funny enough, if you want to go through immigration again for maybe possible correction they would use more than weeks and you said you guys interview is forthcoming, not to risk it just go with it that way and try to get the courts’ affidavit to back Up. I think this way should/would do.

Good luck to you and your family, Ma!

Thanks so much. I am actually a man.
I just want to know if I should get another local government state of origin cert and birth certificate or I should get an affidavit to show that the names belong to only one person.
Good luck to you and your family, Ma!

Moshkom:
I guess the mistake is from his NIN, because that is what (NIN details) they use during Passport stuff. I remember I had to update my NIN (also name arrangements) before I could re-apply for my second passport (last year), I guess I want lucky enough to have be alert by them to do that before they proceed.

bukhety:
My opinion!

It is better to come back home and apply with your family.

If you have full funding, no need for bank statement.
