Travelling To Canada

Again sorry sir, mr MBA student that cannot be advised. 

People have messed up post grad degrees before, even with first class degrees, so I'd advise again that you don't place yourself higher than you should - no one is above mistakes.

Studying in Canada is different from Nigeria (from personal experience) - that is all I am trying to tell you. If you think I insulted you then I apologise - when your daily posts are about babes this and babes that, you can't expect people not to comment. 

I know you're a sharp guy that can combine everything well - maybe I'll buzz you next time I'm in O-town, it's my second Canadian home town.

@debosky there is not problem we are good, lets be united as the chinese pple, thanks for the advise, i gat u, thnx

hi luiz world wat was your first degree, was it business related, wat i fink u shld do is to go to the embassy nd find out the reqirements, u need to hurry up since u will be, but at the same time take it easy so u wont rush in and out, i hope dat u are sponsoring urself or u are being sponsored by your parents cos all those aunty uncle shindig does nt work, jst go to the embassy first nd make enquiries, dnt worry it is well. God bless u.

@ mevisbleek yes the course is related. I had a bsc in accounting and my parents are the ones sponsoring me.
i need all the info i can get so that i can brace maself up for the challenges i wuld face ahead. coz i know it aint gonna be easy

i swear to u i wld love to come but my sister  assignment are so much, my head wants to burst, where do u stay, go  to facebook and type vino tinto i wld add u.

@hottest stepper give me the location of the oct 1 shindig

@mevis bleek i want ask u somethin when applyin 4 your visa did u submit transcipts and results along with it.or was it just bank statments,passport and acceptance letter.

@susex2005, carleton u is kind of ok,  why dnt u check d websites, sorry abt the stress this might cause u, but hw cheap do u want it to be give me a price range nd i will help u check

@mevisbleek  thanks but did u submit original certificates or photocopies

hi guys, thnks for your enlightenment. happy to read that u guys have made up.
pls i still get some dark areas with this embassy paroles. i went to the canadian embassy and they referred me to their site for any info and i can tell u, there is nothing at all on the site. the requirements are just the basic things with a clause that any other documents that may be required by the local commission. that add document is wht i have an issue it. as far as i am concern those guys are not transparent at all cos i really dont know wht to add to my application. police cert was never mentioned on their website yet u need it to apply in nigeria.

@mevisbleek u wrote abt career plan, can u pls explain further and then do my sponsor need to have all the money in his acct. my school fees is 60k CAD and 29k CAD for upkeep. do they expect my sponsor to have all that in their current ac and wht abt if its in a fixed dep a/c cos pple around me advised that fixed dep is not good enough.

pls guys your response will be appreciated.

@mevis bleek. how about police certificate? did u submit that one to?

@luizworld yes i submitted police clearance

@luizworld i dont know cos i used an agent, but pls do it by urself nd dnt use agent, i beg u, dnt worry u know that good tins dnt come easy dnt worry it will be fine jst hala me if u stumble on any impendement, hala

@luizworld, dnt worry we will talk thru nairaland, eko o ni baje

@dogice & jamie55
thanks a lot for the confirmation.

Two questions - MUST Police clearance for Study Permit be from CID HEadquarters in Abuja? Because I went there and they said they only provide Police Clearance for Abuja residents so I obtained one from my home city - do you think this will be acceptable to the High Commission?

@jamie55 can you post a link to a place on their website where it says fee is now 16k?

Thanks.

You are better off going to drop it off so that they give you a case number. However, if you cannot drop it off, you can send it via courier; make sure the courier company you use would require someone to sign for it at the CDHC when delivered. Goodluck.
