GboyegaD:

He was over stressing the issue. He's been advised not to take more than 10k and he is asking which of them? Wetin dem dey spend for Canada? Isn't that the country he is coming? Besides, life has been made so easy with the option of the naira mastercard which means you can spend your naira from anywhere so why the worries. Anyways, it wasn't meant to embarrass him.

I don't call spending naira in Canada via naira mastercard easy life o, cos of the interest capitalisation and exchange rate charges.
I wasn't embarrassed at all...I even got the point from it.
Cheers!

Please who has ever tried sending an email to CDHC since thursday. Since yesterday, if my friend try sending email to CDHC the email wouldnt go through and the reason given is "Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Error: Rejected [BODY]"

ChriGo: Bro...concordia language of teaching is English....so u can go with it...buh d waterloo 1yr masters program is also good...canada gives preference to those going for masters course than those going for a postgraduate diploma course...in terms of work permit and Permanent resident...so i would rather prefer the waterloo to concordia......bro still hopeful on my trv oo

Wow, so CDHC never answer you? God will do it. smiley

Yes, I saw that on the website. My problem is: how do I relate with the folks out there (they speak English but they are more at ease with French speaking foreigners)?

The Concordia course is an Msc, too. I'm just trying to weigh something: what's the advantage of an Msc of 2 years over that of a year?

...I say amen to that my brother.....the difference between the 1yr and 2yrs is simply the issuance of work permit....with 1yr course u only get to have an 1yr work permit but wit 2yrs course u get 3yrs work permit....but like i said wit a masters degree ur PR cums faster.....like in ontario province with a masters degree u do not need to have a job offer before dem nominate u for provincial nominee program.....u can just apply straight up and get ur Permanent resident permit....i dont know about the package in the province u'r heading to but like i said earlier canada gives preference to individuals with masters/Phd degree....you can go for the 1yr course...but bros are they not going to give u funding ? .....do some little research about the province u'r going to if it favours u or not......

efewhoa: @Sir siga, Which of these banks would you advice me to open an account with TD canada trust or Canadian Imperial Bank of commerce. They are the two closest banks to my uni.


I think CIBC is better. TD will charge u if u do more than 25 transactions within a month (cash withdrawal & POS payment). But nothing wrong if u visit d two to check which is better for u as prof SIGA said

Sure, from the look of things they would want to attend to those fall applicants that are yet to get medical call first before starting with winter applicants...
thewayz: Thank you so much my brother and believe I was not segregating by asking for help from those who have their TRV already but anyways its all good and I guess I understand better now. I dont plan to go the school way. I work and my company can sponsor me so I just want to go with a holiday/tourist visa. How best can I do this? Thank you....

[b]Amen, bro. Did you defer your admission to Winter?

1) From what I've read from you and others, 3 years work permit is advisable if someone wants to get PR, right? If so, then the 1 year Msc isn't advisable, except if I finish the first, I'll go for another Msc in another province. This is what I'd like to do if I don't get to see a 2 year Msc that appeals to me.

So, is it possible to run another Msc in another province after the first Msc and would it count as 2 years Msc in order to guarantee 3 years work permit? (I want to experience 2 provinces, culture, et al. before I settle down to work).

2) I understand that. grin

3) Do you mean that in Ontario, after any Msc, be it 1 year or 2 years, an international student will be given a PR or do you still need the work permit?

Concordia is in Quebec; Waterloo is in Ontario. I prefer Vancouver but their business courses are mostly MBA (I need work experience of 3-5 years; I have hustle experience of 4 years but I don't know if that would count because the street gave me no certificate). Those that aren't MBA can't fit into what I have passion for.

4) If by funding, you mean scholarship, in Concordia, they give funding between $3,000 - $10,000 (for those with 2'1 and above).

Thanks for your response so far.[/b]
