I can't really say for sure since it's since 2019 that you did your biometrics. Mine just changed to `Completed` this morning. It first showed we do not need your fingerprint then it changed to we have not gotten your fingerprint. Before now changing to Completed.

Mine also just changed to completed today after displaying "we do not need your fingerprints" for over a month plus

Hello Lekiboboe,

What about post baccalaureate diploma programs (2years).

Post baccalaureate dipoma is an Academic Progression for a Bachelor's degree holder

You can Google the word Post Baccalaureate for more information

So it’s either PGDip or PGCert to avoid the red flag from VO

Landing gist

Nigeria.

My flight was 11pm, June 27. I planned to get to lagos airport very early. I left for the airport at 3pm arrived

Lagos airport was very chaotic.
I willl advice you arrive very early. I figured I had excess luggage and what I was carrying as my carry on bag was too big. I wasn't perturbed I was ready for it. I rearranged my bag and paid for one bag extra

Then I went to check-in at Air France desk.
They said they need to profile my passport and ask for documents. (In my mind I was like when Naija start to dey sound sweet like this. In my mind I was like Oga which documents do you need im ready for you!)

He only asked for Arrive CAN..vaccination card and international passport. He signed and added a white slip behind my passport saying Im cleared I should go and check in.

Then we waited in this long Nigerian immigration ( before you join this line they give you a yellow form to fill..just join the line with your phone... The line was sooo long and their system was down for like 45 minutes. 3 or more people missed their flight... Again got to Nigerian airport early.

Then we proceeded to board at the right to time.
The food in air France was really nice.
Tasted like yam and stew porridge...the type in the Esau Used to sell his birthright loool. We landed in CDQ airport France. At 6:25 am on 28th

The airport was different, better and more excellent than the Nigerian airport. I had to plan myself for my next 10 hours layover. I asked if I have access to a lounge...they said I have to pay 50 euros for it. My seat mate at the lagos to Paris trip was going to Toronto too..so we were navigating everything together

France CDQ airport is very awesome no hassles. Everything here is computerised. Just swipe your boarding pass and direction shows in a computerised map.

But the issue was our flight to Toronto wasn't showing on the screen yet because it was like 9 hours away nor was it written on our boarding pass. We asked one of the officials..she scanned my boarding pass and viola! My Gate appeared.. Gate K55. We had to navigate to The K area of the airport...we used a train to get there.

When I got to the gate area....then Place was really soft and chill. They had normal chairs.. Sleeping stretchers... And sofa beds. I slept for like 3 hours woke up..got something to eat... Connected to airport wifi... Make calls updated my folks about the trip and all...

My flight to Toronto was 4:40pm...they opened the line to board at 3:20pm

Here they asked for letter of introduction. (I heard the Indians murmuring that this is new..they never ask that here)

I boarded.. We took off...at 4:50pm... Landed at 7:00pm Canadian time...but there was a long queue...so we had to come out of the plane at 7:24pm

There was a really long walk...to the self service machine before getting to immigration for the study permit.

Where you scan your passport..and print a ticket..this ticket is what determines the line you join.. They were a lot of people! Especially from Ukraine.

I joined the study permit line. They were like 50 people ahead of me. When it got to my turn.... The VO was looked calm... I told him he has a nice haircut.. The guy smiled..he was like no one has told him that all day... So he asked for my passport.. Said he will need my Letter of introduction...so I brought out my file..he was like wao I came ready.. I go..you bet! lol...

He said I had a back charge and PFL from last year....I was like yeah. He said he sees that I made the payment. I told him I have 2 friends that have the same issue and they have waited for up to a year (the guys are in this group) he said he would have asked for their UCI but there is some confidentiality clause around that. That they should send a webform stating all the details.

Then he went to print my study permit. Then he said welcome to Canada!

I left...my bags were waiting for me.

The person to pick me up was waiting. I left the airport at 9:16 pm (Toronto time)

What if I already got an admission for a 4 years degree course?
obaalasepe:
I think you should apply for PGD because it will show academic progression.
After calculating your expenses ( Tuition, living expenses and other expenses you will know if 10 million is enough.
Don't do any program lesser than PGD or PGC because the chances of refusal is high.

Your nephew could get admission to take on undergraduate studies (Diploma, AdvDip, Bachelor degree) with NECO result.

Majority of the colleges and universities in Canada accept NECO result. If I should list them here, I may be taking up spaces here unnecessarily.

Kindly type the word relating to "Universities and Colleges in Canada" in your search engine and start reading each institution's admission requirements.

In my own opinion , yes, as far as the PG program is related to your work experience.

I only know of a Bachelor's degree holder going for a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma, but I don't know if a Master's degree holder can go for it.

The applicant has a bachelors & masters degree in engineering. Working experience is finance but the course he’s looking at and the school is offering as post-baccalaureate Business Analytics.

If your school doesn't mandate you pay, it's not necessary.

There are occasions I do advise people to make a full year tuition fee payment: one of these occasions is when the VO is in doubt or has concerns about third party sponsor readiness or ability in releasing or committing the fund shown for study purpose. In fact, I do advice the applicant to add GIC if need be.

These options are fashioned for various specific case scenarios and does not apply to everybody.

Ok thanks boss. I appreciate

Admission shouldn't be an issue but visa.

It will do you great benefits if you listen to the advice given that a graduate of HND/Bachelor degree should go for a PGD/PGC or Master's degree to show academic progression.

Meanwhile, if you wish to proceed with your bachelor degree admission, you should be ready to do a lot of convincing as to why you decided to start post secondary education from the scratch after obtaining HND/Bachelor degree. Nothing is impossible though.

It depends on your Academic profile and Work Profile

Your response to the below questions can determine the Academic program qualification you should go for?

What did you study in the University or Polytechnic

Do you have a 2.1, 2.2, 3rd Class or Upper, Lower Credit?

What year did you graduate ?

Do you have a job, if yes what is the name of the job?

What are your Job duties?
