Amen!!!! I claim it!

Hmm another BSc, in Social Work, won't necessarily cause a delay. You will just have to convince the VO in your SOP why you are making this change. You will write about experiences you've had (since finishing your first BSc) that shaped this new passion of yours. If you've done lots of volunteer activities that demonstrate your new passion in social work, then you would include all that in your SOP as well as supporting evidence for same in your application. You would in general talk about the things you have done that demonstrate your passion for social work, and how this new training would help you make a greater impact in Nigeria in a number of areas that you would discuss in the essay. The SOP would have to be very convincing, and I think this is doable.

twizzie:
Thanks..Just seeing this.. Well, that;s the issue..I haven't made up my mind yet... I have a bsc in Technology Management and I have been working for a while but the issue is I want to change career completely.. I want to do what I am passionate about which is Social work.. I know I cant do a PGD straight as I have no background in social work so I might have to do another Bsc which is almost a reason for a delay...

GREAT Someone just won around a month ago on the 5th Application. Keep hope alive. IT IS WELL with you (AMEN)

4 times...And i dey talk? Positive energy all the way

TempusQ:
IMO
Make sure you first to the city Lambton college is first.
Then check the deadline for Lambton tuition payment, if you'll be in Canada before the deadline, no worries,
but if you won't, be sure to pay for your first semester tuition before leaving.
And secure your place with Redriver College.
After you must have gotten your Study Permit at POE in Canada, request for tuition refund from Lambton (digest their refund policy, I think you will loose CA$1,000 of your deposit).

Please sister, trade wisely and be meticulous, until you get your Study Permit which was exactly what you applied for in your approved application, behave as if VO is still watching you with CCTV.

More grace

Will loose only $500 , That was what i did .

ahyotomiwa:

-which visa application route is best. paper/online

-I'm using my brother in law as my sponsor and I also wanna use my dad's landed properties documents just to up my chances and see if it could also serve as home ties since my uncle isn't a direct family member. I don't know if this step is ok.

-his SOP's ending balance is 4 million but the overall transaction recorded in the account is 60m for three months statement and 100m for 6months statement. is it okay...I have paid my full tuition tho

-please can anybody here help me with a sample of consent letter and sponsorship sample letter. I read about a consent form, don't know it's relationship to consent letter.

-then, I emailed my school and requested for some sort of payment proof for tuition, they're now telling me to register for courses to obtain that. how does that sound?

-someone please HELP OUT!...-I'm going for pre-nursing, Brandon University.

Take optimism from thebae...She got her medical on the 3rd too...

Good evening, friends.

Please advice me in the best manner possible.

I have access to a loan facility from my place of work and the lodgement would read on my peraonal SOA when I print it out this month as I intend to apply against January 2016 admission.

How best can I explain this lodgement of cash to my account in my SOP?
would the VO consider this loan as a burden during my schooling in Canada in terms of paying back?
My brother is also a sponsor to me for my program
would this loan lodgement seem suspicious.

Any helpful idea/advice is welcomed.

God bless

standupguy:


They have stopped it

When was it stopped please?

TheBae:
Okay, well for clarity, she/he could have just say "visiting visa" instead of confusing everybody

They are the same thing now. The difference with yours is that you get a study permit at your point of entry.

If the Loan won't be due to be paid during d duration of ur stay in canada it cud actually work in ur favour as a very good home tie.

So far there are documents and legal binding to that course...

Depends on where u want d exchange done.. At YYZ, got charged at that rate (1USD to 1CAD), at d bank, when I wanted to deposit, got charged at d normal exchange rate.

ayooluwatoni:


You're very correct! I thought about the repetition thing too. Was wondering why he applied for a pgd and not masters. But felt probably the school doesn't wanna take our pgd so he wanna have a pgd there and then proceed to masters. If he can convincingly argue this point in his SoP it should fly, I believe!
My fear with not declaring his pgd is with the academic history gap.......what would he say he was doing during that time? Idle? Wasting time?
Dont know sha

Academic history gap? I've been working all these while . I will still see if I can get MSc with my PGD but Its been very difficult.

dats not true.d visa on Ur passport it states Ur status S1-student... So its on d passport not jst on d point of entry .

If she is an agent of the school, then she will get commission from whatever u pay. She is only looking out for her self. Be wise!

You do not need to make any payment to Lambton if you are not going to attend the school but ensure you are fully admitted by Red River College before you inform CIC of your change of school with new DLI number via your MyCIC account.
