New immigration rules to be in effect from January 2015. Now I dunno if this rule is gonna have any direct effect on study permits but I know it affects it indirectly and positively too i.e. for those that are hoping to get the permanent resident under the Canadian Experience Class. Good luck to every one waiting patiently for their study permits to be approved. I pray you all get it.. cheers

This is disturbing; i have applied but they are still demanding for ielts or Toefl, what should i do now, can't be wasting money unnecessarily now

Yes, mun asked me for toefl last week Friday, after series of emails and arguments to waive it for me, I called the assistant registrar and he said Nigeria is a complicated country with plenty languages. That even though our language of instruction in schools is English, we don't speak it outside the classroom and in personal/social interaction - that's exactly what he said... I just fashied the school.

stick to what you started with,include any evidence you have of your business, registration papers.You can use 2 sponsors and they don't have to be related.

My husband's friend has offered to be my second sponsor. The challenge here is how I am going to define my relationship with him. How do I justify why he will be co- sponsoring me since we are not related?

Please guide me as you have always do.

It is possible to further your education in a Canadian University but the only thing I know you can do first is to apply to a university in Canada to upgrade because you cant really do much with a third class. Now getting admission to upgrade is not an easy task as well because there is always competition for limited spots and admission is not guaranteed. The other option you have is to look at doing an advanced diploma program or a pgd at a Canadian college because some colleges accept third class.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 6 by osemobo85: 8:10pm On Nov 25, 2014

I don't know any college at the moment that offers PGD in chemical engineering but I know some colleges that offer Advanced Diploma in Chemical engineering tech. look at Mohawk College (Chemical Engineering Tech, Advance diploma Program) and Lambton College (Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology )

I mailed the head of computer science department

Told him about the none reply of depmtal staff to my advisor request, he said that I should try and convince them that I have interest in their work and will stay @ their lab(s).

Guys wetin me no knw na how I go convice these men say I like their research and am interested in it, when most of their research I don't even know what its all about.

Guys that have gone tru this stage abeg helep oooo

ah ah Check google and the school's official site. Look, if you really want to do this thing you can. Each department has its own site, on the site, there are profiles of each of these Doctors. On their profile, and interests you can write your SOP to them. Please do as I said.

On the other hand, thanks for this post, you just opened my eyes to the need to contact potential supervisors again. I now know what to write in the bid to show them I am the ideal student they want. Please do same.

it seems the IELTS issue has to do with the program of study. I applied to Eng'ring dept in August for Fall 2015, I only used English as medium of instruction. Yes for MUN

Aunty Gbemi, if you really wanna join this family, you can. Your CGPA is NOT an issue, abegi. Google this ' Universities in Canada that offer pgd in Chemical Engineering '. Don't tell us here you have searched ALL the internet. Sometimes, your answer is on the 50th google list of answers - that is what I call research. Feeling Lucky with google may not be what you need. smiley :0
