Wow! Kinda confused. However, I wrote to SAIT to get a little more clarification. In my offer letter they clearly stated that I use some part of it for study permit application. That skul sef!

Mevisbleek, onyeoma3. It's not true that PhD students lack work experience. Most PhD students like myself are guaranteed to TA and even co-supervise undergrads for at least 2 of my 4 year doctoral program. Also our laboratory research experience is invaluable in the research and development industry sector. It's not all about academia.

@mevisbleek .Also the project i am about to start working on is a government funded project grant won by my supervisor. Massive world that a PhD degree brings.

PLease house, i am planning going for fall semester and i am yet to apply for my visa. My admission came in last week and I'm gathering my documents. I should be applying before the end of the month, hope it's not late and is it advisable i do the medical before i'm asked?
You guys in this forum rock.... love you all.

pampem:

Yea, baby friendly and wonderful services! But sure you know its a very long trip ? Dubai to Chicago is about 13hrs..

GboyegaD:


Oga, where in Calgary are you?

Onyeoma3:


I'm quite aware they do but I'm trying to make comparison between paper based research and industrial based research.

The PhD students have work experience in the academic environment,specifically TA and RA, but they don't have direct Industrial experience except those that are lucky to do their internship programs in the industry at some point during their program whereas those doing industrial based projects work directly with the industries. The latter opens up more opportunities in the long run.

mevisbleek:


I dey NW

hayqinsbFX:
list your documents chris...

mevisbleek:


I never said phd lack experience. I only advise him to get some work experience before deciding to go for phd. Also if he gets a good job before phd he can do his job and do the phd part time, u feel me?

chrisviral:


CIC app forms.
Scholarship Letter (as proof of finance).
Passport page.
Representative form.
Admission letter.
CAQ

That's all.

Onyeoma3:


PhD graduate opportunities are not much in Canada when compared to USA and Europe. Anyone planning on doing his /her PhD in Canada should have an open mind of settling in any part of the world,but should be smart enough to get his /her papers before leaving.

Some dudes that graduated with PhD end up doing the same job function with a BASc graduate and receiving the same salary.

But if one gets his desired position in the industry at the end of his PhD program, he's made for life

I see...hope its not for esther!

darefestus:

Now, is this the same schorlarship @Toboy got.
I hope you can give details about it now, so intending undergraduate students can benefit.
Do this and watch your village witches scatter.

chrisviral:


There isn't a need for that, but in one of the app forms (app made out canada) there is a question where you will be asked if you been refused before, answer Yes and detail the reasons why you were refused.

hayqinsbFX:
The hat has been thrown back into the ring......
i might be missing for a while.....do not miss me......
Its for the good...
(my village witches need another strategy....or is it my EX....lol)
Love you all....
love you more @team12....
