alutacontinua: Pls, i need your advice. I'm a medical student in the carribean but want to do my clinicals in canada. My school is a canadian school (the head office is located in canada) but people say i can't because i would not get a visa dt wld last me for dt long (about 2 years). Most people just prefer to do their clinicals here in the carribean or go to the US (the school has affiliations with hospitals in the US). But, i'm considering going to canada instead of US (due to difficulties of getting visa). Most people say i can only do my electives (8 months) in canada. In summary, can i get a 2 year stay in canada for my clinicals? Thanks in advance.

That a whole lot of dough.
My uncle said 3M will do. my tuition and acc fee, summed about 2.4M. shocked anyways. cry

Tell ur uncle dt 3M will not do.
It is expected dt the money in d acnt shld be able to take care of ur fees+living expense and as well, ur uncle should have enough remaining to take care of himself and other dependants.
Apart 4rm d closing balance, the cash flow and source of fund is also important.

What type of visa do u think he shld apply for?
For study visa, it takes 4 months to process which might encroach into his clinical time and he needs acceptance letter frm d school in canada?
Please throw more light on how he shld go abt it.

Definitely student visa, processing time defers country to country, i don't think the op is a Nigerian.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by Nobody: 6:52pm On Oct 27, 2012
@justwise, i'm a nigerian but in the carribean rite now. D issue is dt would i be issued a student visa because i'm going to be doing the clinicals in the hospital, not in a school. Also, can i process the visa from here?

It does take annoying time in Nigeria, i don't know about Caribbean but i guess it will take less time there, if you have a strong tie in Caribbean then apply from there.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by TRVIJN: 7:04pm On Oct 27, 2012
@ Aluta, I'm not sure you can apply for a study permit (student visa) I remember seeing some clauses/ exceptions for some medical academic courses. To be suren please look at the 'who should/can apply' section of the study visa section on CDHC site- that site will answer most if not all your questions. I can't really check it out atm but may later in the day.

@alutacontinua,

For study permit processing time, check this link -

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp

In another words I think you are going for internship/work/IT as part of your curriculum, am I right?

alutacontinua that link will answer your question about processing time, though it depends on the Caribbean island you are applying from, Jamaican takes longer than Nigeria

Point of correction sir
Jamaica takes 10weeks max., Nigeria on the other hand is 19weeks (one quarter of a year to half of a year)

My dad is to sponsor me, not my uncle. Anyways, we just asked him since he studied at Canada. the tuition fee for my course is $4500-$7600($7600 for all science courses, then $4500 for my course) and accommodation is around $6500( for double, then one person will pay average of that). So you see why he said so?
Also, my family still got some to keep them going great.
Hope am all cleared?

Hello guys,
so i am in need of advice on what school to go to in Canada for my MBA. Here is my list of considerations and
i ll appreciate any advice. please be nice in words, I just need help here:
1. I am more keen about a school that offers internship opportunities more than how hard the school is
for instance in the US, Harvard is tough to get into but Drexel is easier but it is also not hard to get a job after Drexel
because Drexel has lots of co-ops and internship ops in d city of Philly and even NYC, MD and Jersey.
2. I would like a place that has quite a bit africans around
3. I would like a place with a system that is closer to the US education system than UK (I have been to UK and I HATED it, but that is just my own personal issue).
4. I got into Schulich but I am not how sure of its diversity which is why I am seeking advice here...Should I go to Schulich?
I havent been to the city where Schulich is and I dont know what is like...but its d business school at York Univ.
I am considering Uni of Calgary but I dunno how hard it'd be..
Any advice?

Cheers

To the best of knowledge ,what you are seeking is a placement in a Canadian hospital to do your clinicals,more like an internship if you ask me. It really does not have much to do with study because you will basically be in a working environment even though your intention is to learn while you are at it.

The best approach is for you to go on the internet and apply to hospitals in Canada. You have to identify the area you want to stay and do your clinicals in Canada,the province,territory or municipality and then limit your search to that particular area but it would have been a lot easier if you have some one or a contact on ground in Canada that would aid your search. If you are applying you state your case how it is. Would advice you make your pool of search wider though.

Once you have an hospital ready to accept you for your clinicals ,they would be the one to give you some sought of acceptance or employment letter that would be used to apply for a temporary work/residence permit at the embassy either from within canada or where you are located. The visa or permit when granedt would span the duration of your program

There lots of schools in Canada but you need to narrow down your choice to specifics like where you would want to stay and then start from there. You did mention diversity and a school that offers internship. They are a lot of diversity and multiculturalism in most schools in Canada . Also most schools do give information about diversity infos of their schools on their websites including informations about courses that offer internship and co-op opportunities,you only need to include that has part of your school search. I believe most professional programs do offer such in conjuction with the professional bodies in charge of regulating such disciplines in Canada
