1. I recently received a direct entry PhD offer from an Ontario university. As I will be a full-time graduate student, the funding letter states that I will receive a funding package of 26,074 CAD, within which my tuition and ancillary fees (approximately 9,000 CAD) are included.

To be safe, I plan to show additional financial proof of around 30,000 CAD, consisting of two of my father's account statements.

Is this the right choice? Am I showing too little or too much?

2. Should I upload only my Statement of Purpose (SOP) in the client information section? Or do I also need to upload my upfront police verification, IELTS certificate, academic transcripts, and all other documents that IRCC did not explicitly request?

You’ll likely need the 30k if not more just to survive in some cities.
