GRE And Universities In Canada

You of T and Uni of waterloo are top schools, so it might be kind of hard to use that, but was anything stated on their website so that you have an idea,

@ hotstepper,
  is it possible for one to use is undergraduate result for a postgraduate application in canadian schools.I would really like to do my masters in canada in the area of civil engineering.

i think u can, as long as u can provide your transcripts

what kind of master's do you want to do: is it thesis based or course based?

make sure you get very good recommendation letters from your profs in nigeria, since you're interested in biomed engineering, your quantitative score is more important than the total score, what did u get?

if its thesis based, read up on the professor's research area and try to get in touch with them to see if they are interested in taking you.

by and large for grad programs, once u meet the basic requirements and a prof is interested in taking u on as a student, the job is finished, so try to get in touch with professors in the debt you want to go into and try to form some kind of relationship, read up on their research areas and think of what areas u would like to work in

all the best

first get as much background info on the prof as much as possible, details about their research interests and papers published, etc., then tailor your mail in a way that shows interest in what they are working on.

admissions for september this year are already closed so you can start to make the contacts now, give them a week or two then you can send a reminder e-mail, if you start early and discover the profs at a school have no openings, then u don't have to waste money applying to that school, you can narrow down your choices and make a better pick.

also try to write a statement of purpose saying why u want to study the course, and your future plans, it always helps to appear to have a coherent and focused plan.

your question cannot be answered really because you need to go to the website of the schools and check. tHEY ARE NOT EXPENSIVE AND knowing after 6 months of being in the institution, you can work off campus as an International Student. This country is damn 2 good, I will get back to you, Ontario is the most expensive in all the provinces but have more students.   Itz matetr of your choice .get abck you soon,

point of correction, BC is pretty expensive too, especially housing, its almost as bad as toronto.

places like NB, NF and NS are less expensive overall, but like hotstepper said, you'll find a greater variety and number of students in ontario.

basically you'll need at least $20,000 a year for tuition plus living expenses. it depends on the school, the course and the location of course, but i think that figure is a good baseline.

either way its pretty much the same these days, american or canadian dollars

You Canadian guys and babes are simply fantastic.
_{*Where is the hand clapping smiley   *}

Take it for granted that the fellow concerned has secured admission and paid the tuition fees or at least part of the fees .

1]What are the travel/visa requirements if leaving from Nigeria?

2]Hotstepper mentioned something about working after six months. How feasible is this ? Or are there tight constraints for working and schooling ? Are the jobs readily avialable ?
What sort of student jobs are likey to be available ?

well for the visa requirements, you need

1. admission letter

2. proof of funds to pay for your studies - bank statements, etc

3. academic records - ssce, university degree certificate, transcripts, etc

4. a medical test to show you're healthy

5. affidavit/ letter of sponsorship from whoever is paying your fees

basically apart from these u need to convince them that u want to go back to nigeria when you're done, and that u really have an interest in the curse you're going to do,

the medical test will be done by a recommended hospital so when u get to the embassy u'll be informed

make sure you have (or at least your sponsor has) enough dough to support you for the whole program, don't go to the embassy and say 'i'll work to pay for my studies'. and have like a plan of what you're going to do when u get baack to nigeria

Kbayo,

What is the breakdown - Quant, Verbal & AW (analytical Writing Section)? If any section is less than the 45th percentile, then it may be problematic.  However, your TOEFL is solid. If your TWE is 5 or above, then you're sitting pretty. Toronto You is not that selective. Make sure you write a killer statement of purpose (essay).

Stay proud and don't lose face!
