OINP - POF - Gift Deed

[itaugust]

Hi everyone,

I recently received an invitation under the OINP PhD Graduate stream, but I’m concerned about the Proof of Funds (POF) requirement.

Currently, I don’t meet the minimum settlement fund requirement on my own. My family is willing to provide the necessary amount via a gift deed, but my counselor advised me that the money must have been in my account for at least 6 months and not just a week before the application. They suggested I decline the invitation and wait for a future opportunity.

Does OINP strictly require a 6-month history for the PhD stream, or is a documented gift deed acceptable for the settlement fund requirement? I’d hate to pass on this invitation if there is a legitimate way to move forward.

Thanks in advance for your help!

See what they accept but it says. Nothing about gift deeds but call OINP and ask.
