PhD Student Visa Rejected Based on Financial Reasons-Any advice?

[sanem91]

Hi everyone,
I've been accepted to a PhD program in an accredited Canadian University. The yearly tuition fee is approx. 6650 CAD. I've applied for a visa with a bank account statement showing approx. 7500 CAD. I've also shown a letter from the university stating that they will give me a yearly fellowship of 10.000 CAD and also 5000 CAD based on a TA position. In addition I've shown two house deeds belonging to my parents. However I haven't submit any sponsorship letters (or any letter stating financial support) from my parents. Also the university sent me an official student permit document which I've attached to my application, and here my funding/scholarship status is shown as "unknown" (so the amount of 15000 fellowship/TA is not shown in that document).
I've immediately got a refusal stating that I don't "have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue". Well now the question is what should I do? Unfortunately now my father is waiting for getting retirement so temporarily we are in a difficult situation because nobody has got a regular salary, but this situation will be over in Summer. Would it be sufficient if I show the same house deeds again, this time with sponsorship letters from my parents? Or should I show more money in my bank account (and therefore wait until Summer to apply again)? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need $10000+ tuition fees minimum. Clearly VO was not convinced with your 15000/yr document. What I would suggest is to get a CAIPS note first. That will tell you what exactly went wrong. Then you can decide which way to go.

Thanks a lot for your reply & suggestion. I think you are right and I've already applied for a CAIPS note last week. Hope to get good news soon :

Hi, no I didn't got any online services and applied by myself directly according to the information on the cic.gc.ca website (the forum doesnt allow me to send links)
hope it helps!

Ohh. You are getting visa this time. Everything was good. But why did they reject visa 1st time ? As you was fully funded.

Often a Ph.D. candidate gets a full scholarship from a University, but in your case, you did not get a full scholarship?
