Hello Activated

This decision is totally on you..

Using your HND certificate now to apply for a PGD for next year Fall.. With this you can get your Visa approved before then and probably leave Nigeria before September next year to resume your Post graduate studies in canada..

You can as well be patient enough till next September when you get your Bsc and apply for your Masters degree...

Either ways, you are good to go... So the decision is totally on you to make...

Peace
