Hello family!!!
Please, I need your advice.
Q1: I studied something relating to Maritime and I want to change my career path to InfoSec.
Should I apply for pre-master/PDG or I should apply for MSc in Computer Science or I should apply for MSc in Maritime/Marine related courses then I can change later?
Q2: If a prospective school waived English Proficiency for Nigerians, do I still need t to submit an English proficiency test score during visa
application?

Please, guys, I need your view. Thanks

1) if you apply for a masters in Computer science, I do not beleive you will be admitted because you dont have the prerequisite courses needed to admit you into a masters program in computer science even if you have the experience but if you go for a pgd and you have the experience, you have a chance cos they consider your cv more a times but its a 50/50 situation.
Again I will humbly suggest you go for a pgd or masters related to maritime because you will need to convince a visa officer that you have a career progression and academic progression.

2) do you have evidence you were waived English proficiency? If yes, you can attach it along witj English proficiency from your school in Nigeria. Mind you, NBS is optional meaning you mustn't submit ielts if you dont want to.

Harrzhan:
sorry, what do you mean by webform? Is there a link or something

Google canadian webform

Harrzhan:
Thanks... okay, I understand. But what do I do on my end after this period?

Were you given a slip? If yes,

Send it via webform asap

Harrzhan:
Good evening everyone,

Compliments of the season.

I had my upfront medical today and I thought IOM would just send my results to IRCC directly. But IRCC was like I also need to contact IRCC because I have already submitted application earlier so they don't send medical request again.


Kindly advise, what do I do next. Please.

Have you submitted your application. If yes and you just did your medicals today , then you need to chill cos IOM sends results after 3-4days.

Or you send the slip you were given via webform

childgodly:
Is it advisable to submit my NSE requirements at once with my application or should I wait for request
Please I would really appreciate further input on this I literally have my card in my hand

Just submit it once so your app will be processed faster

TheUnknown2020:
Thank you very much for the swift reply. I checked their website and they stated that they're in compliance with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) directives regarding refunds. Upon looking at the policy, this is what I found. What do you think about it? Thanks!

What program are you going for pls..

I will advise let other gurus go through this. The refund I know is $200 for administrative fee is deducted from the tution paid and the balance sent to you

BaaleOfOntario:
Anon. Be calming down. With 3rd class, she will surely get PGC admission from Fanshawe and Conestoga. She will.

I would have recommended same but the chances slim o. Best I can advice is make a pgd first choice and advanced diploma second

Lekiboboe:
Good afternoon honorables

Quick enquiry!!!

@Frankrobbn1, @JustMellow @Anon123 @Honorable members

I have someone who intends travelling to Canada by around early July. Her school is in Ontario, she would be doing her 3 days Hotel Quarantine & the Remaining 14 days in ONTARIO, then after the 14 days, she would travel to SASKATCHEWAN to stay with her aunt (for like 1.5 month) before she resumes to her school in ONTARIO by early September .

I want to know the possibility of this owing to COVID-19 Pandemic.

Thanks

Its possible as long as she obeys the rules (quarantine protocol)

Hi nairalanders

I had my biometrics on April 21. It got uploaded on the system the same day when I checked my IRCC account, but up until now, the biometrics section on my application still says IRCC has not yet received my biometrics. Anyone had similar experience ? Should I be worried cos my colleague just did his 2 days ago and it is already showing biometrics completed. Do I need to send a mail. Honestly, I am worried

Yes till its corrected

Hello All,

Need your help on the correct path for my wife.

She graduated with a 3rd class in chemistry but have been working as an insurance sales Agent for about 6yrs.
We plan to apply for a Post graduate diploma in either Manitoba or Nova Scotia.
Please can anyone help with courses which are most relevant for her and are there other states where her application may be more favorable and the fees are more affordable.

Thanks in advance

The best bet for your wife is an Advanced diploma. She should look out for marketing courses like global business management, business and sales management, strategic marketing communication etc. These courses are offered in Conestoga college shaa.. If its Novia Scotia, look at Novia scotia community college.

face3t:
hello house, please i tried filling my Canadian student visa application online but there no place i can pay the fees
I have done all that is on the platform except the medicals. I thought i can submit my application then do the medicals later
please help

You mean you are currently answering the questionnaire that comes up when you open a visa account, you have uploaded all docs and currently want to pay the visa fee?

deeteeneey:
the relative is my dad but he's in UK.

Can he act as a sole sponsor then since my mum doesn't have a personal account?

Yes

TheUnknown2020:
Hello, guys. Thanks for the job y'all are doing - I wish all of us success! I applied to George brown university and just got my admission letter for an Advance Diploma course there. Now, I'm all set to apply for student visa. However, I have a couple of questions before I get started.

1. I don't have an IELTS result now. Can I go on and apply on IRCC while I register for IELTS and write the exam?

2. I have enough funds for both my first year program (C$19,000) and the additional 10k. However, I don't have enough to foot subsequent sessions. Would that be a problem?

3. Should I go ahead and pay my first semester school or is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks! Sorry if I'm asking questions that have already been answered.

1) You can do as you stated
2) you have covered the required amount. The 10k additional is for your living expenses
3) you can pay but ensure you are familiar with the refund policy of the school o(very very important)

.

Ketima:
Yes. In her case, is through a 3rd party flywire and not directly to the school as they school only pay tuition through flywire

Did you indicate the student number and chose name of school while making this payment. Flywire rate is more expensive than bank or black market but 100% secured

darey360:
Pls guys what is the best way to request for a nomal bank statement , going to the bank I guess ?

Ahhhh yes of course. Or you can get online but it won't be stamped

honorableron:
Hello good people here .. I just realised I didn't upload my birth certificate showing my parents names in my application .. since I used them as sponsors

Gracias

Yes

Dear Anon123, please I need your advice.
Hello sir,
Thanks for all your write ups I have been following this thread,they have really been of great help to me securing my admission to a school in Canada. I applied for admission to study and I got the admission in 2nd of March 2021 this year,in the letter am suppose to resume May 17th...I was able to submit all my documents by April 20th 2021,paid visa fee and have done biometric. But am worried right now, I don't know if I gave the Embassy enough time to make a decision on my application knowing fully well I will be resuming in May 17th. What can i do right now,I need your advice. Thanks sir.

Good day Chief..

I will advise you defer your admission to September or January.

Anndav:
Any rate that is too cheap to believe
Pls be careful

?

Steph1738aye:
Wow thank you so much for responding again.
Do you think it would be necessary to write it now, considering the fact that it’ll only be valid for 2 years? I’m asking because my program is for 2 years as well and if I intend to go for PR after the test score would’ve expired and I would have to write it again.

The bolded is your answer. Writing it now, it will still expire after 2yrs.

Steph1738aye:
Guys I have a question.
Do I have to write the IELTS for the study permit? I’ve seen some people who said it’s compulsory and some who said it isn’t.
Also, in the case of PR after studies, is the IELTS necessary?

Its not compulsory for study permit.

Its required for PR after studies

Steph1738aye:
Yeahh but do you have an idea of the current rates? Bank & black market.
I know it’s lower than the US dollar which is 485

If your plan is to pay for application fee.. Your best bet is to be paid someone in Canada or anyone with a dom account. Finally, the bank Rate as at last week was 340 while black market is 400.

onomss:
Good evening house
Please how long does it take for biometrics to be updated after it’s done.

Same day...

Callioge:
285 TO 1 cad.please be sure because cad since last year hasn't been that amount

Thats why I replied him with okay.

Steph1738aye:
Bank rate and black market. I just want to get an idea of the rate so I can use it when converting my tuition and as a guidance when I want to pay my application fee of 100 CAD

Okay.. But you know it fluntuates. The rate today won't be the same tomorrow or next

SweetJJ:
I guess I should use my friend that told me N285/1Cad. Thank you for your help anyways. I was only looking for a cheaper option.

Okay

Godlives1:
No

Then why is there need for Another person to fill the form apart frok the PA. The PA is going alone therefore he should tick NO
