@berexio1....I have a good CGPA but i don't have a relevant experience in that field. I have been in an IT and Software field since i finished my BSC but i see myself as been able to come up with a reliable SOP.

What do you see about my chance now?

ganiyuadeoye:
Am applying for the master program, kindly update me of any information.

Hi,

anyone recently submitted SOWP?

Hubby's application (online) with upfront medicals submitted on Friday.

Please what the average processing time?

Thanks

berexio1:
No supervisor needed. I am going for a course-based program.I hope u know the difference btw research-based and course based masters..The later don't require a supervisor. If you complete all that is required, u should get ur admission under 3weeks

benefe:

Okay,thanks.
My research interests makes me go for graduate study in engineering as I have a science background,does my sop have to be extremely strong
Kindly reply.

ganiyuadeoye:
I there any penalty if you mail more than one supervisor in the same department asking them to be your research supervisor.

Congratulations.

Thanks man.

Hi Chichi, I will like to know how long does admission process take for engineering graduate studies. secondly did you do TRV, I am a bit confused because on CIC, I saw that temporary resident visa is for visitors but here I can see students still apply for it. kindly enlighten me. thanks

No, having a science background does not require you to stick to science course work for PG. You can go for MSc in Engineering if you want. All you need is to be able to explain in your SOP to the admissions committee what synergies you see between your science undergrad and proposed research area in the engineering course that you use.

In fact, it is extremely common for people with science BSc to do MSc in a related engineering field. Lots of physics BSc people do MSc in several engineering areas. Lots of chemistry BSc people do their research MSc in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, etc. And the list goes on and on. There are large overlaps between several scientific fields and engineering, don't let the department boundaries limit your research interests, so long as you can justify it. These days a lot of research is interdisciplinary and you should leverage that.

Hello my great guys, please which of the season indicate january admission application.

Hi!
I'm not an engineering student but it took me a month + to get a reply from the school. The important thing is to apply before the deadline set by the dept for applications.
Yes TRV is what you will apply for from Nigeria. It is the visa that allows you get into Canada because you really are a visitor. At the POE you will be asked to produce certain documents and asked some questions after which you will be issued a study permit; an important piece of paper that will be stapled to your passport. It is the study permit that gives you status in Canada . TRV is more or less a travel document.

To clarify, I believe its the study permit form that will be filled and submitted in Nigeria but a TRV will be issued.
You'll get your study permit when you arrive in Canada. I hope I haven't confused you.

Hello house, I want to apply via online route. Under which category can I upload my academic documents WARC, Neco, Transcripts, NYSC, CV. Should I put them all under LOE? Will appreciate a prompt response.

If I consider paper route, can I do my biometrics same day I go to VAC to submit my application?

EmmaMsc:


I am also applying online..

I am going to upload those docs under Letter of Acceptance since they are "academic". Then CV under LOE.

i suggest you also upload a one page doc under LOE itemizing all the documents uploaded under each section and the order to make it easier for the VO to understand

Hello NairaLanders,

Please i need help, I have sent close to 30 mails to different professors all around schools in Canada, asking if any of them can supervise me. Most of them end up telling me that they need students with extensive research experience, or students that can apply for external funding. Please biko, how do i go about this? I am a final year medical student, where am i suppose to get such experience? or does this have to do with the way i write my emails? Some of the professors do not even bother to reply me. Another question is that, how do i write a research statement for heaven's sake. This is getting frustrating. Please kindly help.
