Well, the application as well as funding for the US and Canadian universities are pretty staightforward. However, I am interested in how funding works in "renowned" universities of UK for the PhD program. Does any one know if PhD funding is guarenteed in UK?
The reply on that other forum is correct. It's extremely rare for the UK to fund non-EU students. You need to search on findaphd.com and look for ones that will fund non-EU students. If they agree to fund you, this is then guaranteed.
