Hello, the GIC is requirements are for SDS applicants. You have to show GIC when you apply under SDS. In my case, I applied under regular study permit process (received a PhD offer from Quebec institution) and I did not show GIC. I only submitted the financial support letter from my supervisor and explained in the letter of explanation that the total scholarship would be sufficient to face the living expenses per annum as mentioned by the provincial government where you study. So, a GIC wouldn't be necessary for you. Read this thread for some information. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/from-india-applying-for-phd-can-i-apply-through-sds.715689/#post-9096920

imisstraveling said: Hi Naresh, thanks for your reply. For my PhD, i didnt write IELTS because my language of instruction in UG and PG was english. I do have a TOEFL score though, so for safe side, I am planning to apply under SDS. Edit - Would you mind sharing your letter of explanation via DM? (after hiding your personal information) I would be very grateful. Click to expand...
Naresh_PlantSci said: In my case, I did not submit any English tests, but I demonstrated that I can well communicate and understand English to them. TOEFL should be fine, as it can still be accepted by IRCC in India, according a webinar by them. I believe you need take a GIC if you are applying under SDS. Could you tell me what information you need from my letter of explanation? Because, there is a lot information which is personal/confidential and also it is difficult for me to hide them as the number of pages are more. If you are looking for the structure of the letter of explanation, I can give you the outline of how my letter looks like and you can follow that up. Click to expand...

Canada Graduate Scholarships — Doctoral program
Description, agency-specific doctoral awards, eligibility, program of study, application procedures, application deadlines, selection process, indigenous student researchers, black student researchers, selection criteria, san francisco declaration on research assessment, notification of results, conditions of the award, official languages, related opportunities.
The objective of the Canada Graduate Scholarships — Doctoral (CGS D) program is to promote continued excellence in Canadian research by rewarding and retaining high-calibre doctoral students at Canadian institutions. By providing support for a high-quality research training experience to awardees, the CGS D program strives to foster impacts within and beyond the research environment.
The Canada Graduate Scholarships — Doctoral (CGS D) program is a federal program of scholarships administered by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Scholarships are awarded through national competitions by these three granting agencies.
The CGS D program supports and promotes research excellence in a wide variety of disciplines and broad fields of natural sciences and engineering, health and social sciences and humanities, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. This support allows scholars to concentrate on their doctoral studies more fully, to seek out the best research mentors in their chosen fields and to contribute to the Canadian research ecosystem during and beyond the tenure of their awards.
In addition to the CGS D, each agency has its own doctoral awards.
For all three agencies, only one application must be completed and submitted to be considered for both a CGS D award and either an agency-specific doctoral award (for NSERC/SSHRC applications) or any available doctoral Priority Announcements (for CIHR applications). CGS D awards are then offered for the top-ranked eligible applications in each agency’s competition.
CIHR applicants who intend to hold their doctoral award abroad need to apply to the Doctoral Foreign Study Award (DFSA ) program.
Some eligibility requirements for CGS D differ from those of the agency-specific doctoral awards. Refer to the appropriate literature for NSERC , CIHR and SSHRC for further details as well as information on doctoral awards tenable at foreign institutions.
Consult the eligibility flowchart to confirm your eligibility.
To be eligible to apply, you must
- be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a Protected Person under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) as of the application deadline
- have completed no more than 24 months of full-time study in your doctoral program or the PhD portion of your joint professional undergraduate/PhD program (such as MD/PhD, JD/PhD, DVM/PhD) by December 31 of the calendar year of application if previously enrolled in a graduate program
- direct-entry applicants who are not enrolled in their doctoral program should contact the appropriate agency for further guidance.
- if you have not previously completed or enrolled in another graduate program, you must be enrolled in your joint MD/PhD program at the time of application
- if you fall into this category, you have access to the 36-month window whether or not you were previously enrolled in a master’s program
Note: If you are eligible to apply to the Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s (CGS M) program, you may be able to maximize your potential period of funding by applying to the CGS M program for your first year of doctoral funding instead of the CGS D program. You are responsible for choosing the type of award for which you apply. See Other restrictions below for more information.
Number of months
Eligibility for CGS D is based on the number of months of full-time study, including summer months, toward the degree for which you are requesting funding by December 31 of the calendar year of application . Two terms of part-time study count as one term of full-time study.
Note: The agencies count all studies toward the doctoral degree for which funding is requested, whether or not they were completed in the same program or at the degree-granting institution.
Fast-track and joint programs
Fast-track: If you were registered in a master’s program and subsequently transferred to a doctoral program (fast-track), the months of study completed are calculated starting from the date on which you transferred into the doctoral program.
Joint programs: If you are registered in a joint program and a master’s degree is obtained as part of the program (for example, MA/PhD, MSc/PhD), the months of study are calculated starting from the date on which you officially registered in either portion of the joint program (including the master’s portion of the program).
If you are registered in a joint professional undergraduate/PhD program (such as MD/PhD, JD/PhD, DVM/PhD), only the months of study in the PhD portion will be counted.
Other restrictions
- You can submit a maximum of one scholarship or fellowship application per academic year to either NSERC, CIHR or SSHRC. Should more than one application be submitted, the eligible application submitted first chronologically will be retained. Nominations to the Vanier CGS program and applications to the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships program do not count toward this limit (other exceptions may apply to CIHR internships)
- You cannot have already received a doctoral-level scholarship from NSERC, CIHR or SSHRC (does not apply to CIHR Fellowships)
- You cannot hold a tenure or tenure-track appointment or be on leave from such an appointment concurrently with your CGS D award
An eligible doctoral program must include a significant research component that leads to the completion of a thesis, major research project, dissertation, scholarly publication, performance, recital and/or exhibit that is merit/expert-reviewed at the institutional level as a requirement for completion of the program.
Joint programs with a professional degree (for example, MD/PhD, DVM/PhD, JD/PhD, MBA/PhD), as well as clinically oriented programs of study , including clinical psychology, are eligible if they have a significant autonomous research component as described above.
For programs that include arrangements with universities abroad (for example, exchanges or cotutelles), your primary institution must be an eligible Canadian institution.
Selecting the appropriate agency
You should complete the agency application that is best aligned with your research subject matter to ensure that it is reviewed by experts in disciplines closest to your field(s) of study. For more information, refer to Selecting the appropriate federal granting agency . If you are still unsure after consulting this resource, contact the relevant agencies.
To complete the application process, refer to the appropriate agency’s application website and instructions.
NSERC: Online system and instructions CIHR: ResearchNET and instructions SSHRC: Online system and instructions
Your application must be complete to advance in the competition.
Where to submit an application
You must apply either through a Canadian institution or directly to the appropriate agency, depending on your registration status on the application deadline date and/or your registration status during the calendar year of application. Where you intend to hold the award has no impact on the channel through which you must apply. Failure to submit an application through the correct channel will result in your application being rejected .
To determine the correct channel, you must
- determine your registration status for the calendar year of application
- determine if that institution has a quota for your selected agency
- refer to the chart and supporting information in the three-page document, Where should I submit my application?
If you are unsure of your registration status in the calendar year of application, contact your faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent).
The term “quota” refers to the maximum number of applications an institution can forward to each agency’s national competition. Institutions receive separate quotas from each agency ( NSERC , CIHR and SSHRC ).
Late applications will not be accepted.
Institution deadlines
If you are applying through an institution, you must submit your application by the deadline set by the institution, which may be well in advance of the agency deadline.
For more information about institutional deadlines, you should contact your faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent).
Agency deadlines
If you are eligible to apply directly to one of the agencies (consult the three-page document: Where should I submit my application? ), you must submit your application using the appropriate agency application portal before 8:00 p.m. (ET) on October 17. If the deadline falls on a weekend, applications can be submitted the following business day before 8:00 p.m. (ET).
Institutional review
The faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent) at each Canadian institution is responsible for coordinating the institutional evaluation of CGS D applications. Institutions then submit applications according to their quotas to each agency for consideration.
Agency review
Agency review committees evaluate applications (whether sent directly to the agencies or via the institutions).
Institutions may recommend applications from self-identified Indigenous student researchers to the doctoral awards competition beyond their application quota. Self-identified Indigenous student researchers must agree to their personal information being used for this purpose by making the appropriate selection in the application form.
The Government of Canada has deployed additional funds to increase direct support for Black student researchers . CGS D applicants who self-identify as Black and provide consent to be considered for funds targeted toward specific groups may be selected to receive this funding. Each agency has a limited number of additional CGS D awards reserved for this initiative.
For more information, consult the Frequently asked questions about the new Black scholars funding .
The evaluation of CGS D applications, whether by institutions or the agencies, is based on the following criteria:
In 2019, NSERC, CIHR and SSHRC, along with other Canadian research funding agencies, signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) . The agencies are committed to meaningful assessment of excellence in research funding and to ensuring that a wide range of research results and outcomes are considered and valued as part of the assessment process. They will continue to work to ensure that their strategies, policies and guidance align with DORA.
You will be notified of the results by April 30 if your application was submitted to the agencies directly or via your institution.
The agencies will publish the names (and other basic award information) of scholarship recipients on their respective websites.
For more information, see the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act .
Award holders must comply with the policies and guidelines set out in the Tri-agency research training award holder’s guide and in any other documents related to scholarship applications and awards.
The agencies reserve the right to interpret and enforce the policies and guidelines for their funding opportunities set out in their published materials.
Award holders may be eligible to hold their awards part time. Refer to the Tri-agency research training award holder’s guide for further information.
You may submit your application in the official language of your choice; institutions must have mechanisms in place to review both English and French applications. For concerns about the review of applications in the official languages, applicants and institutions may contact the agencies.
CGS D holders may be eligible for:
- Canada Graduate Scholarships—Michael Smith Foreign Study supplements
- Canada Graduate Scholarships to Honour Nelson Mandela
- SSHRC supplements and related initiatives
- NSERC supplements
- CIHR related initiatives

Are all PhD programs in Canada funded? Do you have to TA/RA to get a stipend or do you do that on top of your stipend? (I am a Canadian resident)
When I was researching programs it seems like PhD funding is usually automatically required and usually set between 18-25k cad depending on the university or program. Some programs make TAing a requirement for stipend and some programs TAing is money on top.
Graduate school funding at Canadian Universities. At universities in the US, PhD students often (not always) receive funding in the form of a teaching assistantship, research assistantship, or fellowship (which, as far as I understood, is like a scholarship).
I have been recently awarded with a fully funded PhD with funding more than $20,000 per year. As per IRCC's website, a graduate student can show the proof...
If you’re looking for PhD scholarships in Canada, you’re in luck! There are over 800 scholarships available for international students for the term 2024 to 2025 . With these many scholarships available, there may even be scholarships that you are eligible for that you didn’t know existed.
Canadian PhD funding can take the form of government fellowships, independent research scholarships or graduate assistantships offered by universities themselves. We've covered all of the main options on this page and explained how best to find support for your doctorate.
