Why dont you just list out the documents you submitted and you will be advised on whay needs to be added or removed. Break it down in three categories:
A. Sponsor documents
B. Education credentials and work experience
C. Misc. Documents

Lastly, you could get someone to review your sop if you have one.

Hello everyone. Pls I will like to get a scholarship or funding in any Canadian university that gives such offer. I am thinking of uni of Manitoba. Is there anyone that can give me updates on what d funding is like? Pls i need a contact. I studied Industrial Chemistry. Tnx
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 15 by ILoveDLord(m): 9:20pm On Apr 06, 2019
No I didn't get a supervisor.

My MSc is not thesis based, but course based. Per information from MUN, course based MSc is not eligible for university funding. I didn't want to go through the stress of seeking for university funding, even though I think I may have been qualified for it.

Also I wanted a programme that is fast track, shorter duration compared to a thesis based programme

So if you want funding from the university you will have to apply for a thesis based MSc or if you are going PhD you are eligible for funding too.

But one can still apply for scholarships from other sources once the program commences.

xcaper:
Congratulations on your approval, did you get a supervisor before you applied for the program at MUN and did you get any scholarship or funding?.

If you were rejected based on financial reasons only then tackling that shouldn't be difficult. I also dont think you needed to change program. But as long as there Is a reasonable progression in your studies and work experience then you are good to go. I'll also suggest the following:
1. Get a sponsor, no VO will believe you can sponsor yourself as a student in Sweden.

2. If you have a registered company or parent company (Lets say a registered engineering company) then you can use this in your favour and state in your sop you wanna bring back innovative ideas to your company/parent company.

3. Make sure you pay tuition deposit or if possible a full tuition deposit for a whole semester.

4. If you are capable I will advise you contact banks in canada and get a GIC (Guaranteed Investment certificate) to pay your living expenses for a year that way you've cleared the VO's doubt about financial capabilities.

5. You have no issues with travel history so you are good to go.

6. You need a detailed SOP and you need to stay a clear and passionate reason why you need to go over to canada for the program rather than sweden or even in Nigeria. You can state the breakthrough in welding techniques in Canada lead you to the choice, a high demand of highly skilled welders in Nigeria etc.

7. Don't forget to get a sponsor letter and 2-3 property documents.

All the best......

Good day everyone, I wish to appreciate each and every one of you for your kind efforts in helping one another, more especially the monikers; austacus, justmellow, frankrobbn1, makano, 042viber, and host of others.

My study permit for post secondary diploma in environmental science at a college was refused dec 25th based on purpose of visit and family ties. I graduated with a sharp 2.1 in microbiology (4.21/ 5.0). On January 4th i applied for a masters program in pharmacology at University of Manitoba and I have been accepted .

Currently am done with my SOP , then while writing my LOE (addressing my refusal reason purpose of visit ), I became confused if am to give any reason(s) why I abandoned my previous post secondary program (Environmental science) for an entirely different MSC course on (Pharmacology).

Will trying to explain complicate issues for me? Or should I just focus on my current program without mentioning or bringing the previous program into the picture?
Please I need your kind opinions..
Thanks.

It is neither a good nor bad idea.
You just have to weigh the pros and cons.

Personally, I would do the medical at my earliest convenience, just to get it over and done with because then you can just immediately upload the results / paper you get from the hospital when you get the notification to do the Medicals instead of having to secure an appointment at that time.

A con is your medical is valid for a year so in the case that your application is refused you have a shorter time period to reapply using same result.

To a large extent getting the medical request is a sign that bar any red flags in your eligibility/background check (I forget which step comes after now) you would be granted the study permit, so actually waiting to get the request if it comes might help calm your nerves and put your mind at ease.

Hope this helps

UPDATE

I just read that your resumption is May 6 and you can’t defer again. I would definitely do the medicals if i can get it done so I can just update when/if you get the request. If I’m not mistaken, I believe you can add the results of the medical to your profile even before you get a request ? I would need someone to verify that.

Thanks.

I was previously denied based on purpose of visit, and this was because I didn’t explain the lack of progression between my previous course and my intended course. Your GCMS note would shed more light on your case but if I were to guess I would think it’s a similar reason.

In order to address the reason for your previous denial you need to explain the change in program in a way that should not complicate issues because it should show your circumstance has changed. The fact that you chose a logical progression MSc after Bsc and a health science subject Pharmacology should help your case if explained convincingly.

As per your previous choice, you could say you chose it because certain elements of the course appealed to you but after the refusal you discovered the pharmacology program and realized it complements / is a progression to your previous degree. There are numerous ways you could spin it.

In your LOE you should try to explain that since you were denied, you reapplied to a program that shares similar foundations / courses with your previous course and also shows progression and how it benefits you and how you intend to apply that knowledge in Nigeria (that whole spiel). I’m sure you would have already gone into details in your SOP on why you chose Pharmacology.

I think one would have to read your GCMS note and LOE in order to say/know for certain how you should go about explaining the change in course but I think you should definitely talk about it in your LOE.

I have a first degree in electrical engineering since 2014, after which I went for nysc the following year 2015. Three years on since, I have been in the UAE working but in quite unrelated field to which I studied. I, in two attempts, couldn't get a masters admission in Canadian university with CGPA 3.4
Now I have admission in energy management for 1year graduate certificate,
admission in electrical engineering control system for 3year advanced diploma,
a fresh bachelors degree admission in Environmental engineering,
and admission for a 2 year advanced diploma fast tract in energy system engineering. All admissions for Fall 2019.
Please, good people, I need advice on which one to follow for best study permit/visa chance considering my odd job and study gap. I want to apply from UAE. I got no wife, kid or business firm and am self sponsored. My budget can comfortably take the 1year and two year programs.
