Pls what the meaning of SWOP. Thanks

michV:
bro to my bolded,if you mistakenly didn't disclose that, in an efficient system of doing things, you would be likely to see the box ticked for ''MISREPRESENTATION'' for withholding facts/information which may determine/aid the outcome of an application since ACCRA CIC didn't detect such mistake of yours, which should have also appeared on your refusal letter, with your narration, it implies and interprets they don't pay attention to PGC (D) and docs submitted especially ACCRA CIC

I'm guessing they will put it in tbe details of what they mean by purpose of visit, on the GCSM files.

SOWP I mean

michV:
LWKMD to my bolded..we shall all port IJN. i know men that tried different countries up till 5 times,even get banned for forgery/misrepresentation,served the ban and letter apllied to germany and other european countries and got it but theirs aren't for study. the most important thing is keeping push, atimes it must not be that particular country you wanted.

Europe is actually very easy to get and straight foward. and Germany is great, nice people and all that, but i am kinda tired of Europe and the language barrier there. Europe wu maka onye ga enwe ndidi for learning language. basically why i want CA is for the language. Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Germany is just as good as Canada, ONLY thing man wan go spend millions in CA is because its an english speaking country, i ga apiriwaya faster in an English country than Europe.

Mikymiko:
Via a goal driven statement of purpose as you know your previous discipline, intended programme and your current job very well.

What date did you submit ur visa application and did you submit any employment letter from ur work place?

thank you all my elders in the house i really appreciate all your responses.

@Mikymiko...i applied on the 29th of June and i submitted my employment letter from my place of work.
but i am using a 3rd party sponsor and i only submitted her bank statement and sponsorship letter could that be the reason for the denial.

Tarry:


Actually even a medical doctor can do MBA, any profession can do MBA, that's why it is usually interdisciplinary, to help in setting up your own business in your profession. I know a man that made studying MBA compulsory for all his children which include lawyer and doctor but then those Canada VOs might not see it that way. You have to convince them in your SOP why you are going for the program

@Tarry is on point here, anyone can do an MBA...and anyone scared to go for it, should put his or her fear to rest because Canadians love an MBA, l repeat they LOVE an MBA....they even recognize it more than Nigerians, they carry it so so very high, close to a PHD not as high as a PHD though and with an MBA here, you are close to landing almost every job you apply for here. The reasons for it's high recognition and things to prove my points are below:

1. The cost (you pay for what you get, Canadians believe that if you can pay for an MBA and complete it, you are extremely serious and your head is there).

2.) One way of stimulating the economy is building businesses which in turn increase employment rate. Who else is going to handle a built business competently, if not for MBA candidate?

3.) After dealing with a field of study e.g engineering, accounting, computing, fishery....etc, you might wanna start up your own business and who is more competent to invest the knowledge of administering your own business if not you? So you going for an MBA have a solid ground because it's safer to invest in yourself than an employee who can leave anytime. #your intention to own a business someday is still a solid option.

4.) Some MBA requires experience which shows it isn't a child's play.

5.) An MBA have huge work load apart from the cost (the VOs would think more about the work load and the amount you paid....he or she would consider you crazy if you wana throw your money away....hence the status of a true student is established ( it isn't easy trust me, the Canadian educational system is draining and very stressful... it's very easy to give up, this is one reason why the VOs go for genuine students). Even my 1st program, half of the students dropped out because it was too hard.

Apart from the above stated reasons, l have had my ears down, close to 80% of people here wish/wana do an MBA (some people after thier original masters), and l know the exclamation l get from telling people l am doing an MBA. It's always like wow! 'l would wanna get one too someday but l want my company to pay for me blah blah blah'. I even had a lecturer in her mid 40s hustling to do her MBA while she taught us....and close to 50% of my course mates who didn't drop out of my first program wanna do an MBA in future after getting some work experience.

So still scared/skeptical to go for an MBA? Put your mind at rest...they value it more.

Worried your CGPA is too low e.g 2:2 (3point or a high 2:2 and above).... don't worry l know a school/university with a foundation course to address that in form of a PGD program (foundation) 1st...but you get an MBA admission letter (the whole program is almost 2years in total), the initial MBA is one year but any discrepancy you have an hope with the above stated route (2years program).

Scared to write a Gmat or you lack work experience, you can go the above stated route too. #feel free to contact me for more info. #mehn, l have written such a long post lol

Hi, love your write up. Am currently pursuing my phd here in Nigeria and hope to relocate to Canada when I complete my program next year. The issue is, how easy will it be for me to get a good job, cos my uncle who relocated with his whole family to Alberta HV not been able to get a job. He worked in Halliburton here in Nigeria but currently working as security in Alberta, mean while the wife was able to get a fairly good job there because he enrolled her in a diploma which she graduated from there.
Does it mean they don't really value our certs,? Much less if I come with a phd? Thanks

pls aw do I get a school dat is fast in processing without delay for masters in Canada

So you have never heard of international phd holders and medical doctors driving cabs or working security jobs in canada? That's reality. Canada has a small economy for a developed country hence good jobs are competitive. People working in regulated professions like medicine, pharmacy, nursing, accountant e.t.c have no problem "if and only if" they can pass the usually very difficult evaluating/conversion exams. e.g when i say difficult, i mean i have seen a Phd holder in mechanical engineering failing the engineering evaluation exams, a director of pharmacy from a general hospital in Ghana failing the exams e.t.c

Like you have rightly said, not only "nigerian" certificates but those from other countries including EU or US as well are downgraded by canadian employers. Canadians usually have a national pride, hence hold anything from their country (even province) in high esteem than others. e.g a degree from an Ontario instituition would be looked more upon in good faith by an ontario based employer than say a similar or exact degree from an instituition in Manitoba and vice versa.

Ya l understand you, the truth is that the Canadian educational system is very rigorous, they drain almost every life out of you...(thier aim is to make you know it by fire by force(competency), to the extent that if someone just wake you up from sleep you must be able to still do your job because the educational system make it part of you). There isn't anyone that study in Canada that doesn't complain, at least the 1st semester is filled with so much complain.

Then back to your question, they recognize Nigerian certificate but they trust the training offered by thier instructors more because they know the whole system inside out. Sometimes things ball down to luck and prayers....if they offer someone a job, they rarely ask for much prove or visual certificate, they just watch you to see if you can do what you said you can do. #to manage all this or to improve your luck or the probability of you being offered a job is to go to where your skill is highly needed...not just any province because some skills sell more than others depending on where you are. #if you are into engineering or oil, then Alberta is your place, finance(with few licensing online courses and exams on ground)....Toronto is your major place. #so before you relocate, check for the job prospects and what they need combined with prayers and a little luck. #some professions require licensing (course and exam for competency, you might be lucky to get some exemptions) but keep your mind open for that because without such license, you cannot practice your profession hence you have to switch to do other jobs. #depends on your field #province #proffesional requirements etc

Eraytee:


Incase of next time try and get an affidavit of sponsor.

Thank you for the candid advise.
in case of next time if I am using my dad but due to insufficient funds , I decide to introduce a co-sponsor,do I need to get affidavit for both of them or only for my Dad.

My dear, I'm not in Canada. However I once applied for a petroleum engineering program in Alberta. The thing is that Alberta is the oil hub of Canada. With the drop in oil prices, Alberta's economy is down and passing through a recession. Lots of people in Oil industry also lost their jobs. Getting a job in this sector is hard for now in Alberta.
