Please quote the law from Poland. It’s a different thing to say people should desist from plagiarism (which I agree) and another thing to assert fallaciously that it is a crime when it is not.

I believe that's not what this forum was created for, let's face what brought us here and be contented subjects of our kind.

I received a message from CIC this afternoon. It’s rather strange for CIC to be writing saying there have been no updates to an application when I never wrote them and the only few messages I have written them in the past have all been replied to. I am wondering has anyone ever received similar message? I redacted my personal contacts from the email I received attached below.

Frankrobbn1:


This is normal and shouldn't be called for much alertness. It could be that you activated the monthly update on your MyCiC account that's why you're getting such an email notifications from them.

jnyuwa02:


Thanks, I appreciate!

Ps: But this is the first time I ever got such in the many months my application has been pending.

uyplus:


So how many years of post graduate work permit will a one year masters qualify someone for?

Dwebb55:


Why not try doing express entry? You seem to have everything to qualify so why go for another masters when you have one already?

@Frankrobbn1,

Thanks for your candid advice.

The business was duly registered with CAC which I attached certificate of incorporation but not in my name since the business has been registered before joining as a partner.

I will consider a 4 year Bsc in Agribusiness or 2 Year Diploma in Agribusiness.

What is your final take on this 2 Option

@mcbex: I didn't intend to draw your attention to this and am not trying to misinform people here. I have done my research and I not not trying to scare anyone. I stand to be correct "it is more difficult to get study permit if the applicant has more 5 yrs study gap" even if your intended course of study over- match the previous one.

Many people can not tell why they have been refuse even after doing all the needful when they applied. In one of my previous post. , I mentioned the VOs are not sentimental but professional, they have templates and guidelines. I am extremely sure that study gap is one of them irrespective of other conditions or factors.

I totally agree with you that SOP is a way out but menh that SOP must be "bulletproof".

CIC do send such messages to applicants once in a while bro. Don't worry, your approval will arrive soon(hopefully before 25th of this month).

mcobex:
Bro o don't think you understand what I was trying to say on this matter. Haven't you been working during the 10 years(study gap)? If you have, then it's not a gap cos you are working. Your case if I remember is, you studied computer science and working in an IT firm(related field) but wants to go for a management course now, right? You don't have a gap, once you can link your intended program with your previous course/current job your chances will increase or better still you apply for masters in computer science or something related to your current job.
That's what I have been trying to explain.
Explain your case to me if I didn't get it right above

This is very true. The longer you have been away from school and the older you are, the more justifications you have to provide to the VO. With a ten year gap away from schooling you have to have a very compelling case to provide that you can be successful in school and in fact that you would be a genuine student if the privilege is extended to you. This can be tackled by a very compelling SOP backed by strong evidence. Perhaps talk about your upbringing with devotion to learning and how learning is a lifelong affair for you and you can foresee yourself studying in one form or the other, the rest of your life.

Most people I have encountered with ten year gap, were found wanting on purpose of visit. It’s a very tall order to succeed with ten year gap, but it is possible.

Frankrobbn1:

Hello dinho10,

Check MUN (Memorial University of Newfoundland) you can be lucky to get a Master's degree with your CGPA. I know of few applicants who got theirs with such grade(2.2). No program can guarantee you visa approval. It's very important to apply to programs that are relevant to your current employment/previous studies.

Shizzleadedapo:



Hi, working is not considered to be a Gap. Gap is when you finish a course and then sit idle. If your work experience is in line with the program you are applying for in Canada you stand a chance.

But the decision is always with the VO whether the work experience is considered for the approval.
Thanks.

dinho10:


Thank you sir...I understand very well now....but still have one information don't know if its true...is it possible for school to write embassy to assist someone's visa approval?

Working is a gap from your studies. 10 year gap working means you have been away from school for ten years. By this virtue you have to justify to the VO that you intend really to go to school and that you have what it takes to succeed.

dinho10,

The school has no right whatsoever to expedite the processing of a Student Visa application.

kpizzle:
Thanks attorney, we are on it. I definitely will come and testify here.

Am just trying to create awareness on the study gap issue, I never knew about it until now and it will be good that all applicant are concious of it.

Thanks for taking time to read my post.
Well, to answer your questions
1. I dont even intend to return to Naija until maybe i get a life over there
2. I also do not intend to tender my previous MSc too in order not to stare questions in d mind of the VO
3. No Uni offer an extensive course in Naija .NB the course is quite different from a normal Masters degree in Education.
4. I have taken several online certificate course but all are not as detailed as having an MSc (the type im going for)
Àll these are the points i will have to tackle in my SOP.
Apart for purpose of visit , what other obstacle could i experience with the list posted earlier.
How about having sponsorship from the school i work(i could make them do something).
I really need advice please!!

Kaydee87:


The kind of dilemma one has when married to a hubby like mine. He doesn't want to go thru the stress of studying for ielts of having to process transcript. He graduated 1998.....
Hope you now understand my predicament

@Frankrobnn1

After rigorous search, its only university of sask that is offering 4 years Bsc and 2 years Diploma in Agribusiness. There is no institution in Canada that offer Pgc/d in Agribusiness according to my Investigation.

Your candid advice here

Best regards
