My Tips:
Before you start contacting any professor read their research publications deeply have 90% understanding these may take some time. Just Google their names, you will see their work.

Now write a good research proposal(Yes please write) send me a PM from next week, I will give you tips on how to write it.

Include your transcript, your previous research work if any, if you have attended any conference, and you presented a paper be sure to include it, if your undergraduate project was published include the paper and journal, also let a professor in your school write in your school letterhead to the supervisor describing your research potential and how passionate you are for research (Exaggerate).

More options: Write GRE. Although not necessary in canada but trust me, if you hit a high score, you are game.

Attach all these + your GRE score (optional) to your E-mail and send. 8 out of 10 times this brings success and most importantly a reply. No one neglects a good student. The world loves EXCELLENCE and doing all these shows you are serious.

If these tips don't work use the M.Eng. route and follow my earlier tips.

My sincere appreciation goes to God for sending Horpsy5 to me in mid-December.

She came to me, via this platform, seeking help to get supervisor(s). I told her my strategy of bombarding all professor in my field of interest with well drafted email, no matter the school or location, so long it is masters.

In an attempt to provide her with list of some potential universities in her field, I realised I haven't emailed any Prof in Calgary. Immediately, I sent an email with my well drafted research proposal to about 4 profs in my area of interest there, telling them I need supervisor for the research. Amazingly, I got two yes in less than 24hrs.

we Africans especially Nigerians are too way spiritual and this why we aren't going far, Nigeria has the highest number of churches in the world and expensive edifices for that matter while western worlds are using their money for developments and betterment of the masses lives.

Genius000:
@ Surgee, we should understand that grace of God comes with being proactive & informed. Faith without knowledge is a pipe-dream.

In Nairaland travel section, the purpose is information sharing.

If you have ideas on writing superb research proposals; you share, you have a unique way of writing that brings opportunities; you share.

You have ideas on getting internships that can help, you share.

That way everyone becomes more knowledgeable, more enlightened, more useful to themselves and overall become better for the purpose of "TRAVELLING TO CANADA AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT"

Cheers.

Name one such person abeg.

gozzlin:
Nah, they will never contest an election if they're eventually convicted of the alleged crime. Ex-cons cannot vie for a political office in Nigeria according to the constitution.

Austinpee4:
At what instance have you made this judgement?@bold

Better chance here should mean level of study, in-line with previous study or current activity (work, research) and not necessarily something else. Any offer with a DLI code on it is very well approved and qualified to seek a study permit be it top ranked or least ranked school.

Austinpee4:
You can and will follow the procedure of changing programs or institution.

Nevertheless, you should wait and get admitted to a program that will give you a better chance of obtaining a study permit be it your "dream school" or any other one as it is one thing to get admission and another to get a study permit.

If your "dream" school offer will give you a higher chance, you should wait for it and apply for a study permit with that.

Wow....you really took time to package your applications this year. For me I don't have any supervisors in UofT. How do u think this will affect my application? It's stated on their site that international applicants will need to secure a supervisor that will guarantee their funding in case one isn't able to secure a research lab after the 3 rotations. So does this mean its possible I may be given a conditional admission (with the above condition to fulfill) and if that be the case will it pose a problem for TRV application.

Hello house, am down and scared after going through posts stating here that there must be academic progression. I dropped my CIC TRV /STUDY permit app few days before I got to know about this forum. I am a graduate of industrial chemistry 2.2 with G.P.A 3.25. Having worked as QC officer in the manufacturing sector for about a year I saw the need to develop myself in process control. I applied to NBCC diploma program for PROCESS CONTROL but hope to do a master after the diploma program . my TRV application Completed with the following doc: affidavit of sponsorship, offer letter, statement of account,sponsorship letter, tax clearance, landed properties, BSc cert, waec, LOE stating career path, current employment letter,work ID,Full tuition payment receipt. Please can someone tell me something?

wealth360:
Thanks but you dont get me right. why will he send me money? for wetin nah? all am saying is that when I ask him to be my supervisor last year before gaining admission, I did not ask him for funding for my research MSC or whether there is funding . I only ask for supervision. That is the reason why am seeking advice if I can actually ask him if he has funding?

hope you get my question now.

Do you mean you want him to tell you the details of your funding or for him to send you the money now?

wealth360:
Goodmorning Everyone and the Gurus in the house. Please I want to ask if it is advisable to tell my supervisor I have gotten my Visa to resume school. Also can I ask for funding at this time from him for Fall term oooooo.

What do you think Gurus and everyone?

lollmaolol:
Hello respected housemates,

Please I need an answer to my curiosity, I applied to the University of Saskatchewan sometimes last year October with all requirements fully completed, but I am surprised I'm yet to hear from them. Getting nervous.

My program is scheduled to start by September fall 2017, till now the Graduate administrator told me I would be inform on the admission outcome as soon as the committee sit.

I will be glad to know if there's anyone with experience of what I'm currently passing through. I'm concerned with the visa processing time. And funding is one big obstacle ahead.

Thanks as you respond.

Oyebanks:
Good afternoon house, I have applied for admission at NBCC awaiting to get admission.but I am.confused the person helping on the process said he will stage my brother as my dad since my dad does not have a SOA that has up to 15m, I have changed my birth certificate in the sense that my brother now stands as my dad and his wife as my mum because most of his documents has his wife name on it also. Please am getting confused as I dont want to be denied a TRV.

Kindly help.

Austinpee4:
There is a little contradiction btw CIC website and the Visa office for required SOA. 4 months and 6months respectively.

I'll advise you present that of 6 months since it will also meet both the website and the Visa office requirements.

Blackanada:
Please what exactly is the difference between paper and online route?

As in is anyone better? I understand online is meant to be faster but seems a lot of people get it faster through paper route.

How do you decide which to use?
