Hi everyone, I recently moved to Calgary from Lagos, Nigeria, and I’m looking for guidance on the process of getting a driver’s license in Alberta. I have a few questions and would appreciate any insights from those who have gone through the process:

1. Is it necessary to obtain my driving history from the FRSC (Federal Road Safety Corps) in Nigeria, or would my original Nigerian driver’s license suffice for the application?
2. Are there any specific steps or documents I should prepare in advance to make the process smoother?
3. If anyone has gone through a similar process lately, I’d love to hear about your experience and any tips you might have.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Contact details please...

MrAAA2:
VPD is an entrance qualification assessment of a candidate based on secondary education, vocational training, tertiary education (HND, BSc).
To be able to study for a BSc, a candidate needs his/her SSCE evaluated (for grading in the German scale) and at least have a 100L transcript, a HND or a BSc.
These are minimum requirements (according to the updated anabin database of recognised qualifications for Nigeria).

In your case, only the one who just finished 100L can be admitted into a German University because evaluation of that transcript (hopefully good enough) can qualify him/her for a university study in Germany.
The other one has to gain admission and finished 100 L or have an HND before being considered for a university admission in Germany.

Just SSCE and OND will only qualify the person for a 1 year Studentenkolleg which requires at least a B1 German language proficiency. A few private institutions offer Studentenkolleg courses taught in English but cost about 9,000 Eur.

1. VPD evaluation takes 4-6 weeks after uploading the required documents and payment to uniassist.
2. If their causes will be taught in English, which is usually few for BSc engineering courses, some schools accept Duolingo, while others do not bother since their secondary education was in English (a simple letter from Covenant University and the secondary school can work for both of them RESPECTIVELY), other schools insist on IELTS or TOEFL.
3. The one just finishing 100L may be admitted if s/he uploaded his/her 100L full transcript to uniassist for VPD evaluation. The one with WAEC have virtually no chance because s/he doesn't meet the University entrance requirements (100L, HND, BSc).
4. I don't know if Covenant University uses a phone, but I'm sure they have a computer room. The one finishing 100L can spend more time understanding daad.de/en and maybe better than you do and if there exist further needs, you can share.

Thank you So much for the response, I do appreciate. The one in 100L is actually in Bowen, and I will upload his transcript on uni-assist this morning. The deadline for winter 2023 application is on Friday. with this 4-6 weeks for VPD, will he still be considered for admission once we apply through Uni-assist for his VPD or we set our mind on January admission ?

Good morning house. I am relatively new here and I have a few questions. I have two wards, both I would like to study in Germany. One is Covenant at the moment, he just finished his 1st year, while the other just finished WAEC. They both want to study Engineering in Germany. I see acronyms like AL, AD etc and I am lost. I have gone through the daad for schools offering thee courses they want to study Andi am a little bit lost.
Can someone explain to me like a 5year old, how long it takes to get a VPD from uniassist, If Duolingo is acceptable as proof of English proficiency in Germany and lastly what are their chances of getting admission for Winter 2023. Thank you

@Xris74 I'm sure you are learned, do you need to bring in your tribalistic side into this ? Come on !! You should know better.

Its unfortunate that some Nairalanders don't reason at all. The story itself shows its a cock and bull story. Can't you read between the lines ? The story is lame and its getting so much attention.smh

Went for my interview in lagos yesterday and it was quite a painful experience for me,

Couldn't print my sevis receipt online before my interview, but payment was already made.

My appointment was for 7a.m got to the consulate around 6:15 / 6:20 a.m. Was called in for the regualar checks and all, behold, my visa application receipt wasn't with me, was given 90 Mins to go get it. Dashed home like a mad dog, had to even take a bike back to the consulate to avoid running out of 90 Mins. I understand they do interview just one set on Fridays, nothing like 10a.m apptment. Made it there before the 90Mins elapsed. Was part of the last 10 to be interviewed.My tally number was 127 that last person's number was 134.
