At a minimum, tuition and maintenance costs for a year.

If you're presently working, it's imperative that you show a L.O.I from your employer.

thanks @Bamz but i doubt if my employer would give me letter of leave for that long. i intend resigning once i get the admission. Is is compulsory to get a letter from them?

Thanks everyone sponsor was my mom. I appreciate, God bless you all. I am happy it is just funds, perhaps, if it was some other ambiguous reasons, I may have been bothered. I will try again, if I am denied again, I will forget Canada and invest in agriculture grin

CIC just welcome my morning with my approval mail waiting on my CIC account. My dear you will not be denial again, I was denied last year for insufficient funds but i requested my Gcms file and found out the problems with my financial statement, very easy, i work on it and did not change any other document, then i was approved. wishing you Good luck in your next application and stay focus.

Bro here's mine. I studied mass comm initially at under graduate level in naija but the mass comm industry isn't exactly inspiring.

I then went to India for a year to study IT courses in a bid to switch careers (I've always loved computers and working with them) and I ended up getting 1 certification and about 13 trainings in networking and related areas.I plan on writing about 9 more certifications before applying to Canada for either pgc in information network security or information technology

In your own honest opinion, submitting the certifications alongside my application and probably a good SoP; what chances do I have using the mass comm as a yard stick having In mind the lack of correlation between mass comm and IT? How would the CiC people probably look at it?


All the above is after reasonably proving that I have the required funds of course


Thank you smiley

Get as many certifications as you want. It will go a long way to help with your application. Make sure you're not already doing some courses that will be part of intended program of study. Else, why're you coming to Canada? You dig??

Hi please in my own case I had a their class in elect/ elect engineering in my first degree from Nigeria. Now I want to go for my PGD in an IT related field like networking or security but some things are still not clear to me. Please kindly answer these questions for me.

* Will I be accepted to do my PGD considering the relationship between my undergraduate degree and the course I intend to study in my PGD.

* will I be able to get a job after my PGD to enable me save money to do my masters degree.

* What is the expected salary for someone with a PGD qualification

* How much does it cost totally to do a PGD program and how long does the program last?

* What is the cost of the cheapest and most affordable accommodation in Canada for a PGD student?

* I hope the Canadian authorities do not student or tell them to leave after completing their program. Or would I need to apply again for extension of my permit if I want to stay and work?

I have calculated it to be $19.5, I mean fund available., funding $8,000 per year, tuition, 3,700 per year, Board and ACC. 10, 000 and others $3,000
I have 4, 300 excess from funding. I just deducted 4, 000 from 13, 000, personally o, not in the form o. I guess, I have about 9, 000 to provide per year and that is about 2, 190,000.00 in naira.

Hello Yemdogg and others, sorry I wasn't on the thread yesterday, Yes I was offered funding of $8,000 from my school, my tuition is 3,700 per year. I am left with 4,300 to add to Board and Room, and others. My first sponsor has 3m in his account, and declare 3m for me, but 2m will be available for first year. Another sponsor has about 1.8 million, and but declare 3 million, and said for first year he would make available 1.5 also. My calculation is 4,000 remainder of funding, plus 10, 000 room and boarding, plus 3,000 other expenses, plus another 2, 500 in case of unforeseen expenses is equal to $19, 500. How is my chance with this? Pls advise on how to do it. Thanks

Exactly, I was thinking that too. Cos some of them are part of the curriculum. Maybe I'll just add some and not mention others so I can use for job hunt in Canada

* you would be accepted,I will suggest u use Maple education for your admission. It's fast nd reliable
* yes u would get a well paying job that u can save from and pay for your Msc. Msc isn't as expensive as PGD
* I can't say, it varies but u will get a good job
* it varies with diff schools, just budget $CAD 20,000 at least for tuition. Pgd last for 1-2years
* accommodation varies with d province you re schooling and ur taste. $400-600 per month. It could b less
* no they won't. After you study You will apply for a postgraduate work permit, which will enable u work full time for the maximum of 3 years depending on d length of ur program i.e
1year course= 1year PGWP
2years coourse= 2-3years PGWP

Boss I think you're good to go.

Below is your fund available.

8k cad + 2m+1.5m= 5.4m Naira

5.4m is an equivalence of 22.2k cad.

For the first year.

Your funding letter states 8k cad.....just leave it like that.

Your tuition is already stated on your admission letter am sure the VO would do the deductions.

Ensure that your sponsors explain and adumbrate further on how the funding will be made available to you. By that I mean yearly.

Your room and board should be roughly 10k cad...other expenses should probably be 2k cad or whatever. Just make sure your room and board is up to 10k cad.
