Hi,
I applied under the PhD stream and my application was received on September 18, 2014. I received an email today from CPC-Ottawa requesting evidence of settlement funds of $14,720 (for a family of 2). I am in my third year in the PhD program and I still have about two more years before graduation. I earn about $15,000 per annum as a TA plus an annual scholarship of about $10,000. My wife works full time and she earns about $16,000 per annum. Our bank statements do not have a total balance of $14,720 as being requested but I have letters of employment and scholarship letters attesting to our sources of income. Does that mean we need to have a minimum balance of $14,720 in our bank accounts as requested or will these letters of employment and scholarship suffice? Please advise. Thank you.
