I am good bro, still on the matter o

mcobex:
It will be hard to get school with that o but if you have good grade you can look for schools that can offer you funding and if lucky enough you won't pay a dime. Is it just $5k you have for everything or just your tuition? cos you should also consider your living expenses for at least a year ($10k) before embarking on the joyrney. Check memorial university of newfoundland. Best of luck

holluwizzy:
5k$ i just for tuition fee, my actuall budget if 10k$ 5k for tuition fee and some other expenses which will cost about 2k$ extra, so i can keep the rest for my upkeep and some petty jobs over there.

I found a school over there but have not made contact with them - Hartford University.

their deadline for submission is 15 of november for spring




Plz advise on the school

sleekysoft:
Oh ok thanks boss... well he just told me this on Thursday, and even asked me to discuss it with my family and get back to him on my descion lol.. very friendly man.. tho I have a 3.00/5 cgpa that is why he said he couldn't secure funding for me but he will foot the research bill

The reason why i am jabbing about this error is that, my intended course is related to my job and previous undergraduate program. I did B.Ed(management) and i am going for educational administration and leadership. Also i am a teacher so i cant just understand how purpose of visit will appear in my gcms notes.

Hi everyone,

I would like you to advise me on the following. I finished school since 2011 with a 2:2 in Ind. pharmaceutical science. I haven't done anything remotely related to that as the job adverts I managed to find online were only the marketing aspect which I didn't fancy at all. Notwithstanding, I applied for a few but then came the issue of having a valid driving licence. That put me off entirely because the jobs are Lagos-based. I didn't want to die of heart attack as we know how most Lagosians drive!
I have taught/held secretarial position at two schools since Nov. 2013 for a little over two years. I also did a 6months voluntary placement at some hospital when I considered doing an MPH program in France in 2014. Admission didn't come through. I went through a Catering and hotel management training for 6 months and rounded off December last year. I have not done anything meaningful since then besides what I learned from that program.

I would like to go for a master degree in Canada. But I was informed (at the recently concluded Canada education fair) not with a 2:2; that I have the option of PGDip or PGCert. With these will I qualify for a PR? I haven't seen any college/uni offering public health at either level. What course do you advise I go for? Would you suggest Food Safety/Science and Quality assurance? Would I be denied visa based on my choice of course?
I have registered for the IELTS exams. Once, I can decide on what to study then I can begin my application asap for the Sept 2018 intake.

Thanks to you all for the wonderful job you are doing!!!

I applied to western university for summer (may) intake. My application is a PhD program in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

I have B.Eng and M.Eng in Chemical Engineering with CGPA of 3.66 and 4.0 respectively. I have 2 international published research papers from my M.Eng thesis though it's not related in what I applied in western university but I believe it will serve as a research experience. I hold private tutorials in biochemical engineering for undergraduates of 2 universities.

I have been trying to get supervisors but I've not gotten any reply from any of them. The program co-ordinator encouraged me to apply and then secure supervisor at any time during the application process. I have communicated effortlessly to these supervisors but I've not gotten any reply. Not even a single reply. I'm worried.

Pls any advice?

Alright, it will end well, dat'z my earnest prayer bro.

I think that school is in US not Canada ,it’s in Connecticut I guess ... are you applying to the USA or Canada

Don't bombard them with a barrage of esoteric research paper or thesis proposal. Send a friendly letter introducing yourself and your unique background as a student coming from Nigeria. Say why you are interested in working with them. Perhaps the work they did in some groundbreaking area. Don't pump them up and plead sir in every sentence like they do here in Nigeria. These people don't understand platitudes and you can come across as a sycophant or plainly annoying

Don't use the letter to talk endlessly about your research. Talk at most in one paragraph or two, your area of research interest. Tell them you covet their response and will be happy to send them your full research proposal if they would be so kind to consider you for supervision. You are more likely to get positive response if you keep everything friendly and not too serious in your first communication. I would recommend if you don't receive a response, to resend the email once or twice at most, then choose a few professors you feel are the most perfect fit for you, call them on the phone and talk to them. Keep trying until you are able to establish contact and personally talk to the professor(s). Something should work. Best!

holluwizzy:
Its in USA

MichaelsMadison:


This is what I have exactly done. I've sent a couple of messages to some and just once to others. I don't know how getting them on phone will look like. But I will try to send messages again to professors that I have reached once. And maybe wait 2 to 3 days before reaching out to them on phone. Just like you said, something should work.

I have my research interest which I indicated in my statement of interest but I have not really prepared any proposal on them.

Thanks.

jnyuwa02:


Getting professors on the phone is expected and schools recommend you do so if you have not heard from them. Professors are very busy you know. They can't avoid you by the time you establish personal contact. Make sure before establishing contact though, that you follow due process.

MichaelsMadison:


The due process you mean was to send them messages couple of times. I have done such. Thanks.

jnyuwa02:


You have a point. You might want to explain to the VO better next time the correlation in your areas of interest. VOs are not Gods telepathically able to decipher everything. They are flesh and blood humans who make mistakes and sometimes don't know relations in courses of study. That said, purpose of visit I should mention is not always about correlation between your past area of studies or work and intended area of studies. It can also mean there is something in your background that the VO suspects you are using your studies as a way of effecting entry in Canada to be an immigrant and not solely for the purposes of studying. That is why it is important to dot your i's and cross all your t's to assemble a winning TRV portfolio. Best!

Ps: get your GCMS notes to know for sure if what they are using against you is strictly financial or it combines with purpose of visit. I don't see the error annotation you talk about. If true there is an " entered in error" that was indicated, I tend to believe that VO may have ticked something wrong in your case and decided to enter that. You know a lot of these reasons of refusals are generic and when the VO denies an application, they just copy and paste which one relates to you. A better way of knowing what was in the offings, is to order GCMS.

I havr responded Bro

You'll be better off if you go on jobberman and put up an offer for a Personal Assistant. When the assistant then gets you a list of good schools in the range of $5000, we can help with the application process.

Also, yes you get your refund usually without the application fee

mcobex:
One year will be enough but if you have "30 billion for your account" then you can put for the entire program (2years) Lol. On a lighter note, just 1 year will be enough

Good morning my Ogas, I'm so heartbroken right now, University of Concordia declined my application for the second time with the reason that the program applied to requires a CGPA of 4/5 but my own CGPA is 3.68. I'm currently running a masters in information technology in unilag which I intended to drop if the admission was successful. Please my bosses, which school will you recommend. I want to forget about concordia and apply to some other good schools.

NB. I'm a graduate of computer science and engineering (CGPA 3.68).

It will be hard to get admission for public health with a 2.2. But nothing is impossible. This about the right time to get in the game because deadlines are opening and closing quickly now for admission and funding. I don't usually recommend a PGD because to VOs that is like a newsflash for doubting your purpose of visit, except you rise up above the tides. In your case I think you should look into Foundation Studies in different universities that you can take preparatory classes in your desired area of interest. Anything health related is in your background, you just need to articulate to the VO why you continue to be interested in it after such a long divorce. Foundation Studies is like PGD, only it's disguised in a different garb and shows intent to transfer to another area of serious study. You might stand a better fighting chance with it before a VO when it comes to visa issuance fighting time.
