With all due respect Sir, I would really like for you to sit down and examine your plans. Travelling/Schooling in a foreign land with little cash in hand to provide for feeding, accommodation and tuition shouldn't be overlooked.

My advice, if you know you can't afford it or Sponsors aren't popping up for you..you should stay put here.

Still, check with the school if they can offer any assistance in terms of securing a job(librarian for example..but doesn't pay much...as expected) or maybe a form of bursary/scholarship for international students. Know your grounds now before flying.

^^ You need not pay tuition before applying for visa (though agencies in Nigeria like to convince students that in order to be assured of your visa, you need to pay tuition). All you need is a letter of admission from the school and you should be fine.
. Helo lady,pls,i nid ur advice,hw cn I get sponsors or scholarship to study in Canada?

Cash madam ke? I claim it sha. I hate cold so I will rather deprive myself in other areas than be cold. Plus better to invest in a coat that will last many winters even though as a woman I can't see how I will have only one coat and use for more than one winter. Hmmmmmm. Woman wahala. I'll go to a different mall today and see. Got my first feel of snow yesterday which was still mild so I need coat asap. Luckily still being driven around.

On accommodation, I'm currently staying in a luxury condo with a friend but sadly have to move closer to school next week. Kijiji has not been a great resource. I've also tried easyroommate and places4students with no luck. What's the best way to find affordable accommodation?

Good day house, please am about to apply for a masters degree program at University of Regina. Does anyone have an insight about the school?
Re: Nigerian Students In Canada: How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 9:37pm On Apr 18, 2015
Hello house, you guys have been doing great here. I finished my MSc in the UK in 2012 where I studied sustainable waste management. I have been working in Nigeria since 2013 in various waste management roles. However, I wish to add more environmental management knowledge to my profile. So far, I see the environmental management and assessment certificate program offered by the Niagara college as an ideal course to do.

My question is, does canadian embassy grant study visa for someone with a masters degree to go to canada to study for a lower(certificate program) degree?

I will be glad to hear from the gurus in the house.

Remain blessed.

The cheapest would be to rent something close to the campus and sharing with other students.
But make sure you know how to cook, else, you will spend all you saving on eating out . . . or find a nice babe that will be coooking for you, but be careful, else, you will take a baby home with your certificate . . . If you are married, the advice is not applicable to you oh
I prefer to have a babe wit me so we can do the cooking together. Do 9ja girls do sakara so dey do here in 9ja in terms of this Matter?

What seat is that? Have you contacted the school to find out why you need to pay that much for a 'seat'?

U are about to lose that money! Are u not a Nigerian? U better wise up. Contacting the school is the 1st thing u ought to have done immediately. U will soon be asked to book a table, not only seat

I have 2:2 in undergrad so can't get a school...and have 53% in my MBA so can't go for PhD... I m considering a PGD or PGC..do u think d visa officer won't refuse my application based on d fact that I m not progressing in my choice as in from MBA to PGD.

You have done nothing wrong at all, and it is not for them to access who is progressing or not . . . There are many people with Ph.D but decided to go for PGD, not cos they are not progressing BUT cos they see a reason to pick up some other interest or change of career . . . the question is, what was your degree on and what do you plan to do for PGD.
Worry about, cost of schooling and funding the account
How to show to the VO that you would return back to your country of origin

@fhemmmy

Thank you so so much for ur response.
I have BSc. Accounting and I m thinking of PGD in Accounting or PGC in Business Analytics.
I also would love to apply for PR after my study but the PGC is just for 8 months which means 8 mths of PGWP and I really like the course.

I think the Analytics is better cos why would a bachelor holder wanna start doing pgd in same program.... will also advice to look for a program that will be longer.... if you have your mind on PR but don't let your life depend on it just in case...... good luck
