Thanks but Why did they stop collection and when are they planning to start?

@Samtol4, please what did you meant by embassies in Lagos and Abuja are not collecting study permit application again?....Please kindly explain further when does that starts, because am going to Abuja on Thursday to submit my study permit application for my PhD programme. Thanks

@Yinchar Pls send someone to confirm if collection is still on .I don't work in embassy to know the reason for such decision.you can notify your school and more importantly supervisor if you are having difficult in that aspect .

@omepower . Sir You can go there to find out I don't work there .

thanks Mr sam, you've been a huge help.
however, I here a few more questions:
1) after saqa evaluation, will I still present/use my
Nigerian qualifications while in search of job, or will my saqa papers cover them?.
2) will my birth certificate be required amongst the
documents I must have if I go in search of a job (mainly
teaching job)?.
expecting your reply.
thanks.

Slumcat.all your academic records are needed when searching for job.Saqa does not replace your credentials

@slumcat...Ensure you register with SACE(South Africa council for Educators).Birth certificate is not needed rather passport that page is essential.Lastly ,google for teaching jobs in SA and apply as many places you can!

@Mr Sam: ok bro, thanks a bunch.
finally, whats the best way to send my documents from naija?. is FedEx reliable?.

Fedex is very reliable.@slumcat for jobs opportunities check:job.co.za

samtol4: Fedex is very reliable.@slumcat for jobs opportunities check:job.co.za

thanks bro. I appreciate.
more questions:

1) on saqa website, it says qualifications can be evaluated within 10 working days or 20 working days, depending on the applicants choice. is it true or just mere public propaganda?. I thought it takes months.

2) if I have all my documents and done my saqa evaluation, is it possible for me to get a job (like teaching) using my work permit receipt (since I'm still awaiting the permit). what are my chances.
note: I'm currently in SA.

@slumcate Go to Saqa office .

Please when ever the embassy starts collecting study permits, be kind to inform us here....

thanks

yinchar: @Samtol4, please what did you meant by embassies in Lagos and Abuja are not collecting study permit application again?....Please kindly explain further when does that starts, because am going to Abuja on Thursday to submit my study permit application for my PhD programme. Thanks

I think you have a chance when you go to the embassy and explain yourself to them. Don't discuss with the security at the gate or else you will be turned back. You submit from monday to wednesday anytime from 11 am.

Please is true that once your admission letter has been issued to you, that you have only 30days to Apply for study permit??

Samtoog:
I called in today but was told it was not ready. All applications submitted last month has not been released. I tire for this people. They said I should check back next week again.

how far with your application bro. I went there yesterday and its still not ready. Most people that submitted in the first week of June got theirs yesterday sha. I'll still check on Friday to know what's up

samtol4: @slumcate Go to Saqa office .

ok. but I just wanna know for sure how long the evaluation time takes... from people's experiences. I'll visit their office next month when I'm prepared.

Good day All,

I completed my application for postgraduate studies (2015) to Wits University and supplied all the required documents for more than Five weeks now. However, i am yet to receive an admission letter. I just want to know if it takes that long to receive an admission having supplied all the required documents (Hard and Soft copies).

Does anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks

Pls house will like to know if it is compulsory to submit my watch result when applying for a post graduate. I saw on ukzn site that I have to show proof of understanding English. I didn't submit my O levels to saqa. Just did for my bsc certificate alone

Some schools do insist on submission of all your academic credentials while others merely ask you to submit your transcripts and first degree certificate. However, I would advise you include it to ensure a smooth process in your admission and avoid unnecessary delays. Kindly note that you do not need to show any proof of understanding English language being a Nigerian graduate, it will be waived in due course. The proof of English languauge is only required for applicants who come from countries where English language is not the original language of instruction/learning.

omepower: Please is true that once your admission letter has been issued to you, that you have only 30days to Apply for study permit??

Lol...I received my admission letter on 3rd of June, 2013 and applied for Study Permit on 22nd of January, 2014. There is nothing of such provided your admission states the year to resume.

Well, I think Wits univ makes decisions on applications around september/october, it's never too late. I would advise u send e-mails to the departmental coordinator/hod of the program u applied for....they will respond. Has a profile been created for u online? If yes, keep checking. All will be fine.

[quote author=tosol][/quote] so if they make their admission decisions by sept/oct. That means they will still be admitting this year yes? When does their session start for postgraduate please?

pls i nid ansa 4rm a honest person.....m an undagrad nd m tinkin of doin my masters in SA nd probably live there bt d problem is dat m hearin different news abt d country...sum say nigerians in SA are suffering nd odas say its a nyc place so i rili wana knw wot life in SA looks like.

MrOlah: so if they make their admission decisions by sept/oct. That means they will still be admitting this year yes? When does their session start for postgraduate please?

Applications forms are still on sale till August/sept ending or thereabout. For both UG and PG programs, the session starts with registration in January and ends around october.

The university was on holiday. They just resumed but are facing supplementary exams at the moment. They should be able to attend to you by the end of the month.

Cheers.
