I believe in deciding on one thing and sticking to it. Canadian and British rules are very far apart. Maybe your friend should make up his mind first and then proceed to the next stage.
As for Canada, nothing is impossible. Its usually just easier to go first and then bring madam later

PGD is very much okay. Most of them have a duration of one year. Studying alone will not guarantee PR. Please take time and go through previous posts in this forum to see the process(s) involved in getting a PR

Please I have a question, am a student and I'll be resuming for my final year in January here in Nigeria. And I am thinking of doing my master's in industrial chemistry in Canada. .I want to ask if I can start the admission process now for 2018 intakes and if it's advisable to skip NYSC, hope it won't have any negative effects if per chance I wanna stay back and work there. And please what are the reputable schools you think I can apply to with sound chemistry department.
P.S. Anyone currently studying chemistry or related chemistry courses in both undergraduate and master's level should p.m. me or mention me, I have a lot of questions to bore you with. THANKS.

Good day all,

I need advice/ guidance on this issue of mine.
I applied earlier this year for an undergraduate study, but after a long wait I was denied reason being , I wasn't able to prove that I would sustain myself throughout my study financially.
I got confused because my dad (sponsor ) had over 20 million in different accounts cumulatively.
And my program is about CAD 30,000 s year.

I applied for the GCMS to get details of what went wrong but I've not gotten a reply yet.

So now I want to reapply again, but this time I want to apply to another university for a masters program, (that will be way cheaper than the undergrad ) then on getting to canada (hopefully I get it this time) I will now change my program back to the undergrad.

Do you think this is a good/wise move ?
Or do you have any other solution you can proffer.

Have in mind that I had completed a bsc in Nigeria already.

Thanks I'll be looking forward to your replies.
Good morning, pls I need tips on how to apply for undergraduate study in Canada. How did you apply for yours? Kindly help pls, thanks.

Good people of Nigeria, I haven't posted here in a while. I'm happy to see that many people are still going the route of studies in their quest to live the Canadian dream. Studying here does not guarantee a good job when you graduate but it sure makes it easier to fit into the system. I've said this before, please only study relevant courses where you can get a job.

A little update on my journey. I came in Jan 2015, studied IT project Management at Seneca for 1 year (8 months plus coop). Got a good job in December 2015 before i graduated and I've been working there till now. Got a pay raise so now in the 6 digits but that's not me trying to brag. It took hard work and dedication. I have kept my eyes on the ball.

Even though you are a student, know why you are here. If the goal is to remain here then make sure you have all the information you need early. Don't wait till you finish school to start running from lawyer to lawyer and wasting money. Like i said, i arrived Jan 2015, I completed IELTS in April 2015 (scored maximum points in each area), completed WES by June 2015, applied for Ontario nomination by November 2015, got nominated and have now successfully applied for my PR.

Stay focused, stay informed and study/work hard. I wish everyone success in their journey and a big thanks to all those who responded to my questions and gave advice along the way.

God bless

It's never too early to start application for a particular session. As long as the school you're applying to is receiving applications; then you're good to go. Personally i am not a fan of skipping NYSC (especially if u want to go back to naija) but its really up to you. As for which school, that is the work you will have to do by yourself. Except you are lucky to find or meet someone currently taking the course you wan to do.

One of the best way(s) to make progress on your application is to do some research yourself. The mode of application for every university or college isnt necessarily the same. Simply visit to their website and it will be written there in black and white. You will also find full details on their tutition.

Hello,
Tuition costs in Canada is usually tied to the provinces. Generally Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New found Land have the lowest tuition rates. You might want to check universities in these provinces.
