When will your friend’s study permit expire?

P.s Nigerian Embassy Ottawa is officially closed due to COVID 19 but they still process very urgent applications. Your friends situation is urgent. Try every means to contact the Embassy and book an appointment.

A friend of mine was given an appointment for tomorrow. He just travelled to Ottawa this afternoon.
I will give you details when he is done tomorrow.

Austacus:


Hi, I might be going to the embassy today hopefully, how can I help you? I live 6 mins drive to the embassy.

Tell your friend he/she has nothing to worry, if the visa expires, your friend has an additional 90 days (3 months) to leave Canada. So upon the 3 months, your friend will apply for visa restoration and extension.
Restoration: 200
Extension: 150

That's all, and get back to me, that's if the visa has been expired. I will help your friends with the application and SOP.

If your friend 3 additional months in Canada expires, your friends need the popular twin Nigerian brothers in Ottawa to help you (they are lawyers). Or any immigration lawyer in Canada.

US has over 5000 approved universities. Not all the universities requires you to have 2.1 to get admitted. Did I made mistakes? Yes I did and you learn from your mistakes. Have you ever asked why you have many Asian in US/Canadian universities? Why do this universities have so many Asian professors in STEM departments? Are they superior to us in knowledge? No they are no but they believe in helping themselves and sharing information freely. You need to see how they live as a community. Nigerian? We are wonderful made. We hold information to ourselves just because we want everyone to see us as the boss. What is so bad in all of us been at the top?

Below are few universities with admitting with GPA 2.75 (2.2) Mathematics Department with full funding at at least $10k stipend. Check it out.

1) Georgia State University

2) Georgia Southern University.

3) University of Akron

4) Minnesota State University, Mankato.

LightandDarknes:


Hello, thank you very much for this tip off. His permit will expire on the 30th of July (about 17 days). I have been trying to contact the embassy by phone and mail with no success, how did your friend reach them? And how did his appointment go? Thank you again.

The below universities are all above 600th in the world university ranking except Georgia state university.... around 500th!

Funny enough some are still very poor in the US University ranking like Minnesota.... 800th!

what does this mean? this are very poor institutions like MAPOLY, if Nigeria is used as a context.

How does an institution fund a student? STRICTLY on MERIT!!!!

A school like the schools you have don't have sought after departments, or Lecturers or any world class thing to it, its standards is very poor and they rely greatly on school fees to run.

Schools may get government funding anywhere around the world but that school must be very competitive and bring in very very good students in order to receive such funding.

It is easier for a state School to charge 20k (dollars) than a private university that is ranked around 200th to charge 10k(dollars), because they don't get anything exceptional being at that level, lecturers are basic people and not some world record PHD holder from Japan, if at all the lecturer wants to be at YALE, or QATAR, OR SOUTH AFRICA with a school around 200th-300th position!

Where is a school at that position getting such money to spew? how much will they award some one with a 1st class? 1m dollars?

How many citations do they have?

How many research are they publicizing or advertising?

One university in Luxembourg will easily pass before any university at that level in the united states .... How many international students and professors is in such a school?

I stand solidly on my argument, A strong 2.1 will not even get you a FUNDING in this schools unless you can write exceedingly well, convincing them to grant you a FUNDING, The truth is , You have to be very good and also have a good reason why you cannot afford to pay fee, then you are considered , in this kind of schools ooo!

@vibrant99.

Why are you this negative? No grain on positive. Why are you discouraging others? If it is not working for you, you don't have to drag others down. Are you been paid to be an obstacle to others. I pray that God touch you.

I wish you a blessed day. Regards

Thank you for this...
Please do you know the universities in US that offer same for biological sciences graduate studies?
5000 approved universities is alot to search from. Kindly streamline it for me please.

vibrant99:
Don't misunderstand me brother...

My problem is with 2.2 and HND lower getting a FUNDING.....

It sounds like a Convert prostitute, ...

I have no issues with your high flying status.

Naijaforeigner:



Let your friend fill out the form online, print out those forms, get 2 passport photographs, take his study permit, passport and every other document as requested on the Nigerian embassy website and travel to Ottawa first thing tomorrow morning. He should also get a registered return envelope from Canada post. I am very sure they will process his application with or without appointment. He should be there as early as 9am.

I called my friend just now and he told me they attended to every one that was at the embassy today (about 20 people). He was told his new passport will be sent out tomorrow morning via the return envelope he submitted.

vibrant99:
will take a while for me to do that evidently ....

But take my advise , look away from the US ,... for now

stevedestiny:



Thanks this was helpful.

I got the info from a legit agent. He advised me to defer because people who were supposed to resume in May semester are yet to get their study permit and priorities will be given to them before those going for the fall semester, but I called someone who works directly with someone from the embassy and she said the resumption date is yet to be confirmed. That's why I didn't want to believe that 1st September. I don't know if anyone has something different, wishing everyone the best!

Please as regards marital status, do I pick the "married-physically present" OR "common law" option?

https://grad.usask.ca/programs/find-a-program.php

Some of their Admission requirements jz looks like the one in the screenshot u posted.

Hello, thank you, his study permit expires the 30th of July. We have been trying to find a way to reach the nigerian embassy to ask for help with a new passport but we have been unable to reach them.

We have tried emails and phone calls but we have not been able to reach anybody we can explain the situation to. Is there somebody you could put is in touch with? Thank you very much once again.

Good day All,

I will like to encourage sometime with a little about my story.
I graduated from a Nigerian university with a second-class lower division degree in STEM at 24 years and finished NYSC at 25 years. Unfortunately, as peculiar with Nigerian environmental, I got my first job at 28 years after 4 years in the wilderness. The delay in getting a job was my mediocre degree (i.e., finishing with 2.2) and lack of working experience at 25 years (how will I get the necessary work experience when I have never been employed).

Fast forward to a decade later, after working for over a decade, got frustrated with Nigeria society placing a limited to what you can achieve, I decide to make a change to my family situation by returning to school in US/Canada. Initially, there were few obstacles, I got admitted into a fully-funded master’s degree program in the US with an average stipend by God’s grace. I left the shore or Nigeria with my entire family and started the program at 40 years. I graduated with a master’s degree with a GPA of 3.56/4.0 at 42 years. Fortunately, I was admitted into a fully-funded Ph.D. program in Canada’s top university with a very generous stipend and started the program at 42 years. I have currently completed the program required coursework with a GPA of 4.0/4.0, passed candidacy exam, five publications, and 3 manuscripts under review in top peer-review journals.

What is my point?
Despite where you might have started from, the environment you live might not be favorable to you, age or family commitments might be barriers. However, do not give up, please hold on to your dream. The grace of God will see you through. If you quit today, you have failed tomorrow.

Please note
My story is not unique; I have seen many tremendous journeys of beautiful people who do not quit/give up and achieved great heights. I am sharing my story to encourage you that no barrier is big or strong enough to stop you from achieving your dream.

I hope to challenge someone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

vibrant99:

Please Forgive Me...
I don't believe this your story!

It is ok to say things and make it look perfect, but this sounds just too perfect to be true.

FULL FUNDING in the US for why? because you worked for 10yrs?

2.2 will not even get your application viewed, did you write the SAT? TOEFL and had exceedingly excellent grades in them?

Unless probably in an artisan school where you probably have to use your hands to work or do your courses or Vocational School that directly relates with you 10yrs work experience, else ....idonbliveit!

Moving on, ...

How did you sustain in the US with your family?
You had to work and go to school and still made that CGPA? Oga a lie!

You have to be extremely good to achieve that and that means you are even a 1st Class student in Nigeria.

If you work and study in Canada, You have to be extremely good too because you cannot even meet up with assignments.

A guy on this forum has been expelled from his school in Canada, he cannot even Fail, he literally doesn't have a presence in the class.

I don't know if you did that write up to encourage someone, but the frailty of the composed is way over the TOP.

Please Forgive me once again if I came in strong.
