Hello everyone,


My undergraduate background has nothing to do with technology, but I am currently working as an IT support specialist in Germany and I would like to continue my studies in Canada, but this time I would like to take an IT course.

Please, is this possible for me.

I have also applied to some colleges in Ontario but my status is "no decision".

I would also appreciate if someone could add me to a whatsapp group.

Hello Omoboriowojay

I have already answered your question on "No decision"

And i said it means the college is yet to give you a final decision as regards your admission to the school..

Since your proposed course of study is related to your Job, then you are good to go..

But you will really need to work on your SOP and LOE..

And to your request for you to be added to a whatsapp group, I do not thin that move will favour you.. The information you will get here is not compared to any information on any Canadian study whatsapp group.... Do not deny yourself of vital information here..

Peace

Hi Omoboriowo,
Straight to the point - No Decision simply means the College hasn't decided yet.

The waiting period feels the longest and I know exactly how it feels.

Since you're currently working in the IT industry, then I think you're in the right direction.

However, your SOP must reflect how your current work experience has influenced your decision to pursue the program. Also, you've to link it to what you intend doing after the program (i cannot exhaust the points in this comment).

My advices -
1) Apply to more than one school (maybe a university and college)
2) If possible apply to programs that has a co-op/practicum
3) Prepare a strong graduate cv and sop

There's an Ontario based Educational Firm (email: contact@1grad.ca) that offers free services except if you need their assistance in statement of purpose and graduate cv write-ups.

Wishing you the best!

No more paper Form A transaction. It is now electronic. You are now the invincible officer to initiate it online on the new TRMS website. This is the new policy from CBN that was rolled out in November 2021. You have to create an account on the TRMS portal using your BVN and the email or phone number associated with the BVN to receive OTP. If the BVN is recognized but no email or phone number is associated with it, then it means you have to go to court to get affidavit to update your BVN email and phone number

Hi @ Ifechidi and other May applicants. Are u guys for students visa of work permit

jennifarh:

I am aware of all this I just wanted to know what bank processes faster because although you do it online it is still processed by the bank

ifechidi:
I am for study visa. May 14th applicant.

Hello guys
Am applying to the these two colleges
Durham college
Assiniboine community college
Hope they are good ones

mrprolifik:


Durham college is better. But beware of study gaps above 5years if you are from Nigeria . In other not to loose your application fee.

bola01234:


What can I do sir...
I mean about this study gap

Greeklinkweek:
Hi Bro,
Give consideration to the following before making the choices
- Can I get a co-op/practicum during the program?
- Can I get a job after this program?
- If it it is difficult to get a job, will the program make it easy for me to switch/pivot within months into a Management/Consulting/Community related jobs etc?
- Are there abundant job offers related to the program in the province?

Check out the following courses:

- Adult Education and Human Resource Development (AHRD) - University of Regina
- MA in Leadership Studies - University of Victoria, British Columbia

However, since you are willing to pivot - then I will be inclined to ask which area of study would you consider (Management, Business etc). This will guide appropriately in the choice program, statement of purpose and visa application process.

Your statement of purpose has to be carefully written (that is your biggest joker to appeal to the admission committee). Appeal in this context doesn't mean "beg."
You have to craft it in a way to mention your low grade but without excuse. You have to display that you were faced with some dauting issues and yet you pulled through. You have to own it and display courage to go into the future with the lessons you have learnt in the past. You have to write about your passion without using the word passion in itself.

An Ontario based Educational Partner assisted a friend too (email : contact@1grad.ca). Surprisingly, they didn't ask for a dime (they offer free services) except you want them to re-write your graduate cv and statement of purpose. They even gave out free samples of sop, cv and templates.

Wishing you the best bro.... reach out if you need more guidance.

Hello guru's in the house,

I learnt it is best for one to apply for a two year program like Masters rather than a one year program while planning to apply for a canadian study permit. Reason being that in the long run it gives the candidate more time, which is usually 3 years to apply and process for a PR.

The point am looking at clerifying is, is it possible to do two separate post graduate program in a college at different intervals and get eligible for a 3 years PGWP?
