Phd and financial/bank statements

[whyserious]

Dear members,
I will be going to Quebec to pursue my Phd. Since I will be paid a certain amount for this program, I would want to know how much total money/annum I need to show in the visa office with my application. Please give your suggestions based your experiences.

Thanks

Dear sheryar,
Thanks for the reply.
I will be given the scholarship of around 17,000 CAD/annum, but my annual fee is 13500CAD(which will be later exempted to a small amount). In this case total expense would be around 23000CAD(13500CADfee +10000CAD for expenses). If around 17000CAD are provide by scholarship. Does that mean I have to show 6000CAD in my banks statement to make it 23000CAD. Do you know if that is acceptable? do you know what could be other possibilities?

Regards,

Dear sheryar,
I myself am from pakistan. But I completed my master´s recently from Finland and students residing in Finland are supposed to apply in London VO.
It is very nice to hear that it is easier to get study permit for phd student. I have been reading a lot about rejections due to lack of ties with resident/country of origin. what is important about proving ties to your country?
the list of documents is different for london however is almost same for every country. I would look into these more closely and if i need to ask more, please bear with me.

thanks

SIR Dont know much about london VO but in pakistan usualy these are documents to show ties.
-property documents( father or mothers property) this shows them that u i will be having some property back in ur country and no one is foolish to leave this property and go illegal in canada! and it will motivate u to return back to pakistan!

-If father is doing business ,show his business documents (NTN CERTIFICATE) and establish this in ur SOP and his sponsor letter that u will return back to pakistan and takeover his business


-JOB oppurtnunity back home(provide document from employer -OR how ur studies in canada will help you getting a JOB in PAKISTAN(establish it in ur SOP).

-FAMILY REGISTRATION FORM- from nadra-this shows that you have family back in pakistan,and surly you will want to come back to visit them

 

[whyserious]

Thanks for this information mate!!
Just one more thing. Will only one of these options you mentioned to show family ties be sufficient to fulfill this requirement? I am sure more the better.

I would again thank you for all the suggestions and help.

No there could be any thing/document used to show ties,but these are the common documents used by applicants. and no document can guarantee VISA, but we have to do our best and next depends on luck.

AOA sheryar,
I was reading these replies and realise that you stated things differently and I understood them differently. Now the things are more clear.
I have been given the scholarship of 18000cad and my tuition fees are reduced to 2590$cad. So according to your statement the total expenses are around 11000$+2590cad+3000cad=16500$cad which is lesser than 18000cad$.
What is your opinion on this?

I have been asking these questions on this forum to get to the point replies but no one is telling me. Can you suggest about other senior members.

Regards,
