I'm planning to make my way to canada somedays. After my First degree. But the thing is I don't want to study immediately I get there. Wanna work first, Full time work. Don't mind any type of work. Tho would later study after making some money. Is it really possible ?

Royat1:

Its not possible @ all. You want to go for a study visa,then drop out of school and start working your name will be given to CIC and they declare you as an illegal immigrant ,once dey catch u ,naija straight .

Laido:
.

Not a study visa hommie. Just probably don't know how to put it cuz I don't know much bou travelling yet. I'd love to go as a permanent resident, Is it possible?? My aim is to be working there and getting paid.

Royat1:

They don't just give PR like that. You must some special and rare skills ,what's your level of education ? Work experience ,age ,English language proficiency ,Cgpa among others.

Laido:
.

I belive too that it may nt be that easy but if its possible, I will get the Vis by God's grace. That's just ma wish hommie. I'm about gettin thru with my first degree. My Cgpa is quite okay, 2nd class upper! I haven't done my Eng Proffy, but would do that when am about starting the Process bro. I just wanna get off this country and wanna spend at least 10yrs b4 thinking of visiting back .. Lol

Laido:


Sup bro. How are you doing? Plz wanna ask this, R you currently in Canada?

Royat1:

But you don't have work experience? Go for masters at the end of your bsc ,that's d only way

Laido:
.

Okay, U mean I should go for my masters in CAN right ?

Good evening all, I have a first degree in elect/elect with 2.2 I intend doing a PGD in project management at conestoga college to make up for my 2.2. I want to do my masters in elect/elect after the PGD. Please will I be accepted to do the masters after the PGD

Royat1:

Laido:
.

Thanks bro . I'd wish it be like that too. But cash is what am considerin. My sponsorer just wanna get me there, I'm all for myself when I get there. Like how much do you think Msc. Would cost? I'm currently studyin Plant breeding and seed Technology in an Agric Uni here in funaab. Enlight me more bro, Which uni could be offering such course over there and what r their fees range?

Your eligibility for admission into masters is mainly a function of your first degree result and partly your work experience. PGD does not qualify for you for masters. Its not even evaluated. PGD is just to make you employable in the Canadian labour market

With my 2.2 first degree result do I stand a chance of getting an admission into a master's degree?

Royat1:

That might be a little bit tough. Most MSC students that gained admission for MSC finished with 2.1 ,but I think its possible ,depends on your actual Cgpa ,work experience too ,you might look at university of Ottawa, make your research bro

browndegreat:


Is there no platform to make up for the cgpa b4 the masters

Royat1:

As an international student, your fees are very high. You can only work a limited number of hours during the school year, although you can work full time during the summer. However, remember you have to first find a job. When you do find a job, the money you earn on its own will not be enough to cover your fees. Remember you may also be working to cover your accommodation, feeding, transportation, clothing and other daily needs. Note that many Canadian students have to take out loans to cover their fees, even though their fees are much lower and they have more opportunities to work during the year. International students cannot take out loans, however. Therefore I would advise that you save as much as possible before arrival and don't plan on relying on working while studying to pay your fees.

Having said that, one thing I should point out, based on my experience: I started off working for my university part time and eventually got a full time position and took courses on the side, and the university then paid a major portion of my fees. This is not a very common scenario but may be worth investigating, to see if it is possible at the institution you intend to attend.

I know the money issue is not easy, and I wish you all the best as you tackle it. God bless!

Hi everyone,
just got in..

1. Bring your Nigerian driver's license. You'll convert it to the Canadian one and avoid some tests.
2. If you haven't got permanent accommodation prior to arriving and don't have a friend you'll be staying with. Pay/book for several days of temporary accommodation ahead. If you find a place within those days, you should be able to get a refund for the unused days from the hotel/hostel. I paid for three days and almost became homeless cos I hadn't found somewhere permanent when it elapsed. God just provided me an alternative that night and more.
3. Most foodstuff are here. Focus on clothes and necessary electronics.

I'll update more things as I remember..
