Any PhD applicants?

My letter of acceptance has the following line about funding -
You have been awarded financial support in the amount of $X per annum. Depending on the nature of your program and provided that you maintain your eligibility, this amount is guaranteed for one year and normally renewable for a second year for two-year master’s programs and three additional years for doctoral programs. If any of the funding on the Program of Study form is designated as Assistantship, you will be required to work for this
funding.
In my Program of Study form, the Financial Package details are divided into four sub fields - "Supervisor Grant", "Assistantship", "University Baseline" and "Other"
The "Assistantship" and "Other" field remains empty while, the "Supervisor Grant" and "University baseline" contains funding amount that makes the overall financial package.
Based on above information, what would you advise? Should I select a yes or a no to that question?

Hi,
I have one follow up query on your case, aren't TA/RA duties considered "on-campus" work?
I am referring to the CIC website for this - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/work-on-campus.html
Thanks,
Sam
Hold on. I misunderstood.
What do you mean by work? I meant that it is things to do besides my classes. IF you talking about work for money as a private person, I do not know.

Sorry bro, I do not know. Do not listen to me.
Ask your uni advisor, he/she must give you the answer to this question.
I have the following in my LOA
All full-time students (domestic and international) admitted to a PhD program of UBC's Vancouver campus receive a minimum level of
funding of at least $18,000 for each of the first four years of their program. The funding package may consist of any combination of
external or internal scholarships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or income from other academically-related work at
UBC (e.g. graduate administrative assistantships, lectureships). At the request of the student, income from other employment in the
field of the student's research may be considered part of the funding package, whether the work occurs on or off campus. Students may
be required to disclose their sources and amounts of university employment income or scholarship funding, as well as other income
sources to the graduate program, and must inform the program immediately of any new or additional funding sources. See
https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/minimum-funding-policy-phd-students for full details.

Thanks mate, would anyone else having experience in this matter like to shed some light on my above post. I would highly appreciate it.

Yep, I think it should be no, I confirmed with the IRCC certified immigration consultant at my prospective university.
What about the proof of funds, should we show the funding as proof of funds? I heard that Visa Officer is interested in seeing liquid cash which is available to you.
I heard some of the people stating that you can't use "future funding" or something you may get after registration as proof of funds, which is not also not readily available.
Is that so?
