Maybe you did not scope here well - am just kidding.

I see some Naija guys with white girls and some Naija girls with white boys and also naija and naija but u know relationship issues can be complicated so am not really sure is that is how naija girls deny boys.

Life is very okay here, atleast one can eat,pay for accommodation and survive there are international students here and everyone is working hard to make ends meet.

thanks. Well i will try my possible best to be in Manitoba next year. But the visa processing is getting difficult for we Nigerians daily. Are Nigerians commiting lots of offence in Manitoba?

Have actually done my research about Manitoba and i love Manitoba alot. I have friends over there too. How's life in Manitoba generally? I actually asked a girl that's in Manitoba out but she declined. She's a Nigerian though. Is that how girls in Manitoba deny guys? Moreover how's hustle over there? Just give us the necessary info about Manitoba. Thanks.

Brother, don be too quick to make the conclusion as emboldened. If there is a need to verify a document, IRCC will. It is part of their bilateral agreement with governments of mation that will help both government foster their relationships available.

It's been long I posted something here. Lautech is really delaying me but let me be prepared before then. It is advisable to go for a pre masters course before going for the main course if someone didn't meet the requirements? Like am studying agricultural extension and rural development but want to go for a pre masters in agribusiness and agric economics in u of Manitoba

Osemigho:
lol, continue your job o..... I want to sit with elders to watch the room and comment once in a while.

However, Let us know if you need a break. You had been seriously helpfull so far. The house will be glad to grant you one.

Shalom!

which university are u going to?

manlikegb:
Uni of Waterloo
McGill Uni
York University
Uni of Saskatchewan

Looks like most of Canada Universities consider it actually. Just search for Universities, check if they have your intended program and read the Admissions requirements carefully. You’ll find the info there if they consider it.

Reads like this "A cumulative weighted average of at least 70% in the last two years of full-time study (e.g. 60 credit unit equivalent)”.

All the best.

thanks brother mi... Your head dey there. U have given me hope. God bless u in every angle.

manlikegb:
I'm sure you have this info since you mentioned U of M above. Here it is again so don't be confused,

http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/admin/569.html

There are other Universities in Canada who consider the last 2 full years of study, provided its up to 60 credit hours.

kindly tell me the remaining two universities in Canada that considers the last 2 full years of study

likeababygirl:
Your result from first year to last year is used. some schools give special consideration to last two years cos they believe that is when you did your research. However, even if your last two years is great and you don't meet their general cut off point of 3/4, you may be bounced.

haba....well let's see as it goes. Cos my first to third year isn't encouraging at all.

pennstate:
You must use first year to last year.

but some people here said we can use only 400 and 500level result. Even some schools in Canada like Brandon university and university Of Manitoba consider 400 and 500level result. Am confused now.

pennstate:
You CGPA should be somewhere around 3.2-3.4/4!

is it a must to use from first year to last year or we can use only 400level and 500level result only? Because my 100-300level worst.

CanadianNurse:
boss ya sighted jah bless

what about people like me that used double result both waec and neco?? Hope the vo won't use it against us if we going for masters??

dejol88:

Update on my application:

Application approved and passport request - just now!

Thank God and I pray that we all receive good news this week.

How do I send my passport?

which university and what masters course??

likeababygirl:
Thank you. I think the documents are good enough to stand as home ties. I wish you success.

is it a must to submit secondary school transcript for masters program??

chimah3:
No! No additional document outside the ones outlined on CIC website is compulsory. Only include documents you feel will favour you and sell your story better to th VO.

If you noticed, the last lady that shared her success story didn't even include a SOP/LOE because she felt it might work against her.

So advice to all packaging their application, no 2 application can even be decided on the same ground. Everyone has a unique story and package to present to th visa officer...present yours the best you can! Not because someone was approved you then go an submit All the same type of additional document he included...what he might be trying to portray to the visa officer with those documents might not b in tune with what you are trying to tell the visa officer...thus making your application look stupid in th eyes of the VO.

For example I might be trying to make the VO see that I am a top class professional in my field going for a program to boost my knowledge and get more experience to add value to my company back I Nigeria ( it is only proper I include more of my work place documents like CV, employment letter, letter of recommendation, study leave permit etc. And leave out unnecessary things like NYSC papers and Co. Because NYSC papers are not in line with this image I am trying to paint to the VO).

I hope I'm able to make small sense. And I hope this guides someone right.


Sorry for all the grammar under your simple question. Lol

OK boss... If going for masters must we submit secondary transcripts too??

likeababygirl:
As at the time I applied, i was still a corp member. So i just submitted it to show my current employment at that moment.

oh okay....congrats once more. Safe trip to Nova Scotia

I give God all the glory. He did it for me and he will surely do it for you too. Thank You so much Nairaland family, you guys are definitely God sent. Even the 'littlest' contribution helped me in packaging my documents, so no matter how small or irrelevant you think your contribution is, it will be of help to someone out there.

Also, I didn't write a Statement of Purpose because i felt my application was quite straightforward and writing a SOP could result to shooting myself in the leg while trying to explain things that needed no explanations.

Is it a must to submit nysc call up letter?? Or nysc certificate??

Reporting live from the city of Brandon manitoba Canada



Speaking about a a dream come true.................
I just want to say a very big thank you to my nairaland family for being there for me..
A big kiss goes to @prolificjude*********

ABOUT THE RIDE
it wasn't really so bad ....thou I just took drugs for virtigo (motion sickness......I didn't want to fall hand as the nurse Weymouth I be...lol).
I flew Ethiopian line and their services was pretty cool (na my ist flight sha).
Didn't have any hassle at Lagos international airport...I was all smiles so them nor too worry me (girl power)
At POE....the officer wanted to be used by the devil.....she asked you if came so damn early and said I should give her an explanation (she was so serious looking at me like say she wants drive me go back)....I gave her one and she left to communicate with her colleagues (as the Bini Gerl that I am and the daughter of a prophet; Bishop David oyedepo and prophet chinedu Anthony.....I begin Kabash for my mind) next thing she came back starred at me for a while and then said that I should make sure I am actually studying........so she handed me my permit and I let out a sigh of relief......(nor be small thing ooo)
From there on I had to go locate my connecting flight (tip....if u have a connecting flight try to get ur luggage on time so u don't miss ur flight).


Had a welcoming and homely crowd in Brandon here....they make me feel at home (plus my winners pastor too here at Brandon as LFC just came to the town).

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
for those of us still expecting our TRV just believe cos with God ALL THINGS are possible.....don't just say it ...believe it. A word was spoken into my life by his servant prophet chinedu Anthony(life of freedom int) and I got mine. Now it doesn't matter ur church cos I am a believer of GOD not the name of the church.....just have faith and it would come to pass. Every person I have met here doing the same course as myself had a 1 year TRV but by his word which doesn't return to him Void even after an initial refusal I got 4 years TRV in 12weeks on the dot (btw....that's the time frame I asked God for) . KEEP YOUR FAITH STRONG......I hope I have encouraged someone here today......remain blesses

Canada is indeed a very beautiful place......***wink***

Thesoj,prolificjude....et al.....thanks for ur input

can we talk privately?? Am so much interested in Brandon university. Need your advice too. My email is atitebiridwan@gmail.com

maziude:
Will check boss.

I have also pm kindly send me your sop.

theafk:
If i may ask, do you have the two years work visa right now.
Sorry to burst your bubble but if you are applying from Nigeria and you are Nigerian, I don't think we qualify for the two years visa (please confirm very well so as not to hear stories that touch) But incase you have the visa, yes, you can work then apply for permanent residence or even use the express entry route which will serve as a plus for you cos you have Canadian work experience.
All the best

why don't we qualify? Why is it difficult to get a job first and working there before immigrating??
