Hi everyone,
I have few concerns regarding financial/bank statements. Hope someone on the forum can give me a suggestion.
I got admitted in U of Alberta for Ph.D. program for fall 2013. I have the funding for first year worth $23,000 in the form of scholarship. For subsequent years funding is subjected to my performance and availability of funds. This is the standard way of funding offer. My annual approx. fee for the first year $7973. My program of study is for 4 years and for next years fee will be less, as I wont have to go through the course work.
I placed the online visa application fee on 1 June, 2013 and showed only my scholarship letter as my financial proof. But today (6th of June, 2013) I got a message from CIC stating that - my scholarship is not enough to support my application I need to provide bank statements, as well.
Under current situation can someone tell me how much amount I need to show under my bank statements? Do I need to show the finance for whole duration of period i.e. for 4 years? As at first, I was thinking that study permit is issued for 1 year and then have to renew it for next years. If that is the case, then my scholarship letter should be sufficient.
