Hi Eruditor,
I'll answer ur questions as asked
1. ENP-CC will NEVER fetch u a GA/TA/RA job as a student. Masters fetches scholarships/ tuition waivers as a new and current student (if u bend down and read of course) that PGCs will never give 1/2 of even if u make A+ all tru. (Something to consider with d rate of naira devaluation and d fact that not everyone have their parents as their sponsors)

2. As a Nurse (and for anyone in a regulated profession in Canada), u need licensure / to be registered to practice and to be eligible for PR/PNPs; PGCs won't give u d time to process all dat cuz d waka no be one day and before u knw it 8months (*2) is up and ur 3yrs PGWP may be spent on "labouke jobs" that will lead u nowhere. Masters buys u time to sit in Canada legally (u can even fast-track to PHD in most schools after ur first year and it's mostly tuition free cuz ur grades sampled u out) and process that cuz ur courses r spaced and not jampacked like PG courses.

3. International students don't go down that lane easily, even with a 2'1, thesis-based Masters admission process is terribly rigorous and sometimes not easy to get. I even applied for PGC cuz I got tired of waiting for my masters offer letter to come out, and PGC came out in 3wks. Plus Master of Nursing is difficult, I was told its IMPOSSIBLE so didn't even see any intl student to "follow down d route" sef but God helped me.

May I add that tuition was more expensive in PGC (in my case, may vary).
Lastly, let's stop deceiving ourselves with this "I'm going back to Nigeria to build d country" talk, even d VOS knw u ain't going nowhere, at least not without PR/passport if not we'll all be on d UK thread!
God bless!

Good. But since you're expecting a baby, why can't you allow ur husby to go first? I mean file his own application use you and other family members and other things as as home tie, getting there he can apply for you to join him later. Rather than all of you applying together. If you are to do that, it means you and ur husband must have huge amount of money in your account to take care of himself, you and d new baby. Just my opinion though



No we don't want to separate for any reason.
Our marriage is not even a year old.
I've read successful family applications on here.
Baby arrives in April and his course starts August
So we want to apply as soon as baby's intl passport is sorted.
He has study leave letter with assurance of return to his job for the 9 months course.

@ your last paragraph,
Of course we all know we want to stay back in Canada and continue to build a life there.
But we have to tell them what they want to hear to get what we want.
I studied in the UK for 5 years and I moved back to Nigeria because it was either get a high paying job or get out. I have experience with UK study visa but don't want to be big headed and not ask for help as it's a different country.
Also. I'll like to add that these whole Canadian certification and prospects differs.
Its understandable why you would switch cos you're in nursing but that's not the case for those in IT.
IT requires hands on approach than just book work.
My friend in Toronto earns a lot in IT security and he didn't do a masters.

Honestly, I don't think I will have the patience to read over hundred thousand comments.

I want to apply to Humber college CA.

Is it mandatory that International students must apply through an Agent?
Since Using an agent doesn't justify I get into Canada, cant I apply to the school directly?

Thanks

You can definitely apply to the school directly and not use an agent.
You do not have to use an agent unless you don't have the time and you have money to burn.
Admission process is pretty straightforward.
Just submit the required documents and wait for their decision.

Sometimes I just get so sad when I see Nigerians abusing each other over nothing, especially when one of the parties claims to be superior to the other.

@Mizbaby, while I thought you started off correcting some initial misinformation by @eruditor, you singlehandedly let the argument degenerate into a rain of abuses and chest-thumping and then added misinformation of your own. @Bandeco mentioned that you have a NL history of brazenly abusing others on other threads and from reading your history this is so true. You might not be a bad person offline but you need to cool off on the pride.

We all need to have humble hearts, which makes it easy to help and correct each other without the "I beta pass you" attitude.

As an agnostic atheist it just blows me away how the same people on this thread who invoke God's help to get their TRV are some of the same people encouraging using fake documents or projecting extraordinary pride towards others. Oh well.

Sometimes I just .
Hi guys,I've got a serious issue. I was denied visa last year and the VO said he wasn't sure I had enough money to  pay my tuition and take care of myself without working in Canada. So I thought of handling that issue this way;

My tuition is can$14400
Estimated expenses during the 9 months course is can$7500
Others            $2000
Total in naira is 3.5m.

I have just 3.0m naira though I have a sponsor who has more than 23m in his account. I don't know if the VO will have a problem with a guy of 30+ years having a sponsor. 

My wahala is .....

I have even paid my school fees from this 3m so the money in my account has greatly diminished. Do I print my account and exclude the part where my school fees was withdrawn? That way,I can claim that I have paid my school fees and still have 3m to take care of myself. Will the VO be keen to know from whose account the school fees was paid?

Or do I come out clean and state that the remaining 500k naira will be taken care of by my sponsor who is my cousin? Will the VO  believe that?

Make una help a çonfused brother.

@ Eruditor and everyone involved, please let's stop the argument on which post-secondary education is better on this thread. The aim of this thread is to provide elucidating information on ADMISSION AND STUDY PERMIT and not career path counselling.

Cheers guys.

While I understand your call for the thread to not be derailed I still think career path can form a basis for people's queries here. Atleast, they entertain questions like that on the USA thread and I am very sure such questions were being asked in the previous parts of this thread (6 and 7 in particular had people giving tips on living expenses, what to buy when there, career expectancies etc.)

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 9 by thesoj: 7:35pm On Feb 21, 2016
Yea it is OK to have a sponsor even if you are above 30 years old. I know of such people with successful applicantions who yet had a sponsor. But, you need to write a really good SOP showing how passionate you are about your course of study, and what you have been doing in Naija since your previous educational study.

I don't really have any advice on your remaining questions except that you should think like a VO, especially given that your precious app was denied on insufficient funds.

Also, much has been written about insufficient funds on this thread and it would behoove you to read them. You can easily use Google to search for "insufficient funds" posts on this thread.

For real though, am not saying it's not the best for you. Of course you have your future plans and career path differs. In my own case, Advance diploma or sorts can't work for my career. You definitely need something higher to start with even before professional exams because it's information security management and you know there are a lot to learn under that. Plus don't forget it's more or less like a competition here. You have to give them reasons why you are a better candidate. I guess yours is more hands on (something to do with civil engineering if am right) so I don't know much about that. Don't know if I make any sense to you. It's well bro.
