I am a bit worried here....I have made application to Memorial uni. for M.Eng Elect Engr. I have a CGPA of 3.71 / 5 in Elect/Elect Engr. do I stand a good chance to be admitted due to high competitive admission we do hear about schools in Canada? Please can one suggest schools dat can easily give me admission for M.SC in Electrical Engr with such a CGPA. Thanks

MacMaster01:

What a great thread spanning over 2years...wow...i read from 2012 till now and I must say that it's really been an experience reading all through. I must commend ifegy and Femmmy and many others for their calm nature in answering some very annoying questions lol. God bless you guys abundantly.

I applied to Memorial 2years in a row and wasn't given admission. Those people way na WAEC lol. I advise anyone applying to MUN to be very careful. I met all requirements for Aquaculture MSc and they ddnt give a concrete reason for denying me.

The thing about MUN is that (cos I have a close buddy over there that did MSc physics) if you are going for MSc that has thesis attached to it you will need to have a strong application and also referral from a supervisor present at the college to ease ur application and possible admission. This task of getting a supervisor isn't easy as I have been thru that process. I'd advise u go for a diploma relating to the MSc u want to do (which is 1year) as it'll afford u a better opportunity to be present at the college and possibly and easily liase with the supervisors there one on one. Doing this from Naija is hard make i no lie una... I mailed up to 25 supervisors, it wasn't easy. But the thing about life is u may never know. My good friend applied 3years consecutively and got a supervisor the 3rd year. He is presently doing his PhD at Simon Fraser Uni after finishing at MUN.

I tried the non thesis route the following year and I still ddnt get it (200dollars wasted Nna me vex ehn lol). But it may work for you cos I made a 2.2. So maybe if u make a 2.1 or 1st class then that non thesis route may work for you.


I got into Niagara College Ontario just 2weeks after applying this year September and I am awaiting my visa hopefully it comes in before my start date Jan 2015.

Femmmy I hear Niagara Falls aint so far from Toronto so if you know any good people that can link me to get good off camp accommodation I would be glad. Surfing through kijiji and Craigslist is crazy lol I would appreciate any links.


Wish all of us here the best of luck and see u all in Canada soonish... All in favor say Aye!!!

Hey guys, Phemmy Hi,

I applied to Royal roads Uni in Victoria BC and got the admission for next year sept. I will start my visa application early next year...now my question is i have 2 boys who are american citizen and i want to come to canada with them....for obvious reasons not to deny my visa my husband wont apply with us, he will probably do when we leave. is this a good idea?

Secondly, will my sons be privileged to all benefits as american citizens...they are both below the age of 2 presently but at the time of travelling they will be 2 and 3 respectively. if not what should i budget for their pre-school?

Any 9ja community in Victoria BC? need to start sorting myself out and plan ahead.

saxywale:

American citizens do not receive any privilege in Canada. Just as Canadian citizens do not have any privilege in the US. Although, they won't need to apply for visas but would be stamped in at POE.

oduado:


pls can u kndly assist me bro.....will like to knw if i can get admission nto MUN for pgd safety and risk engineerin....wif CGPA 3.59...on a 5point scale

saxywale:

You should normally be admitted to a pgdip with your cgpa. You should consider posting on this thread as there are more experienced guys on there if your query is related to admissions and students visas.

@Hottstepper.
Her children are not up to age for elementary or high school. They would need to attend a daycare and daycare fees are subsidized only for Canadians and PR.

In Alberta, she would need circa $900/month for each child. It may be more in BC, you know BC is an expensive province. Babysitter might work out cheaper for her.

Hotstepper:

True! I didn't read the age part of it. Unless she finds a private person that babysit for less

How r u going to bring the nanny? U say this things like it's so easy to do

uote author=9jabiggurl post=27880653]@Saxywale and @Hotstepper.....Thanks for your info...will prolly consider the babysitter option or try and apply for my young nanny to come over later when i am more settled. as it is i will apply alone first go and settle then have my husband and the nanny bring the kids and have the nanny stay back....hopefully that might work

9jabiggurl:
First of all with God everything is easy.......then i will indicate in my sop that my husby and kids and their nanny will be visiting during my break....i am applying alone and going alone first....then the rest will be easy by Gods grace....
