chigrad:
Hello all, I want to know the conversion rate from USD to Canadian dollars. I need an urgent response as I need to make payment using my USD account. Thanks

Riddeek:
Smart move!
if you finished from a course, get admission into that course/related course and also the dept of your choice, apply for ur TRV with the aligned course and after you are granted, the ball is now in your court and you can resume your intended course in mapleland.
I hope people learn from this and stop getting course mismatch refusal, its annoying to be refused for that silly reason even after scaling through financial strength and home tie.

BlueWizAngel:

I am looking at broadening my horizon as the oil industry does not have much to offer now. I have two option before me an advance diploma in remote sensing or a masters of engineering in geomatics (specialization in remote sensing). Which do you think is my best option.

Sorry if I am about to derail... Just and observation/suggestion

Please I just want to make an appeal, please let us take it easy with the way we lool down on some questions and go straight to tell people to Google it. Google can virtually answer all questions here but sometimes Google will still bring up links to nairaland forums for answers. Instead of shutting people down that way just keep a blind eye to the question it's better than making someone feel he is asking an irrelevant question.

This doesn't mean information seekers should be lazy, u still have a work to do to consolidate the answers you get from here.

Just my own opinion though!

Thanks for all your supports and good works

Most questions posed here -- even the simplest -- are answered. Referring people to Google once in a while is really good practice, as it helps the question asker develop research skills that s/he would need eventually.

thesoj:
If you like numbers, you could go radical and do an MSc in something like Data Science or Data Analytics. Data science is a really hot field that will be even increasingly relevant in the future. You don't have to stick to geology or remote sensing if you feel that the field is dying. You could also easily link data analytics to geology if you want (seismic and remote sensing data require lots of statistical processing to tease out signal from the noise).

If you are a good writer and if you have compelling reasons to switch fields, you can easily convince the VO about this switch.
Data science program examples:
MSc in Data Science & Analytics at Ryeson University
MSc in Computing and Data Analytics at Saint Mary's University
Master of Data Science at University of British Columbia
Professional Masters in Big Data at Simon Fraser University

The cheapest school in Canada in university of northern British colombia.tuition is less than 4000 Canadian dollars.however applications have closed for 2017 entry...u can apply for 2018/2019 entry now.
Next is University of manitoba..its not as cheap as the one above...tution is 10,000 Canadian dollars dats about N2.250million...I love this school so much cos Nigeria is listed among the countries English proficiency test is exempted for.
Goodluck

There are other cheap schools..like simon Fraser University., victoria University both with tution around 5400 cad...dats around 1milion plus...but u must have toefl or ielts..and application fee is a bit high..around 147dollars

Does Northern British Columbia waive proof of English for Nigerians applicants? Which other universities waive it?

advanceDNA:


Nope..they don't waive ooo.infact they won't take the scores from u tru uploading on application page u have to pay another 11dollars to the body weda IELTS or toefl to send ur test score directly to dem.

Anyone I'm processing admission for, I advice dem to get the bloody toefl done jare..it opens more oportunities..imagine northern British Columbia charging tution around 4,000 cad except fo their MBA dat tuition is around 7,000 cad which isn't even up to 2million......a lot of UK schools waive English language test for Nigerians..there school fees is just too high....just do it and get it over with.seiz the oportunity now b4 they will increase school fees.
For example,A whole lot of German University don't charge tution for both indigenes a international...but I saw info on UNI-Assist portal that international masters applicant might start to pay from 2018/2019 session....so seize the opportunity while it's still available

My fellow Nairalanders, pls help me o. I did paper Visa Application to Canada and I kept tracking it online till 28th of December 2016 when it was indicated that my processed visa application has been dispatched to vfs Lagos from Ghana where it was processed. I have been to their office every day of last week and they keep saying "we are expecting it" even till this very moment, it's the same story. It takes a maximum of 50 minutes from Ghana to Nigeria via Airplane and a maximum of 15 hours via road transport. This is the second week already counting and it's still not here. Is it CRAWLING ni fa? Please anyone with such experience should come to my aid as am very confused on what to do. The school has already resumed on the 5th of this month and I didn't defer my admission thinking I would have known my fate before that day. Now all I do is pray for a positive response.
