Hello Guys quick question i wanted to kindly ask your take on my profile. So for first degree GPA was 2.8/4.0. For my masters i had distinction, the UK equivalent of (4.0 GPA) please correct me if i am wrong. But now i intend to apply for PhD. My question is that if doing GRE and having hopefully a high score would that bolster my application to the point of securing scholarship and also what are the odds of applying to tier 1 schools. Thanks |
JMG12:Thanks for the heads up! |
Hello guys so i posted few days ago about not getting a reply back from the school i applied to for a phd programme after about 10 weeks in. They got back to me and said that they couldnt grant admission because there were no available supervisors. Now i am left wondering what really the case is whether its with alignment with my proposed phd topic or maybe they are extremely busy which i am unsure of given there are many potential supervisors on the faculty page of the school. When i messaged them they said that if i plan to reapply that it may be better to establish connection with a supervisor before application. This was infact the exact same thing i thought having read other peoples stories . however in the initial phase of my applicaiton process i emailed them that i had actually sent a mail to potential supervisors but ddnt get a reply from the 3 professors i mailed . They replied with an email saying that it wasnt necessary to email professors that the school themselves can do the connection with potential supervisors once my application was in their system. So i am the point where i am deciding my options for the next available term which is september 2025, i plan to reapply there and to other places . But for this school that i really hope to get into i am guessing one needs to hope for the best in establishing connection with a potential supervisor but then one isnt too sure whether the real issue with no supervior available currently, is really a matter of my topic area or not . Because knowing that would have helped to decide if i need to modify it or not. Any advice would be highly appreciated |
Bobomaigida:Uni of ottawa Ontario PhD I reached out to them last month when it was going over a month since application. I am afraid make them no go vex. Or hope it doesnt matter if i reach out again |
Timeofgod:Wow also applied april 29 awaiting response also for january 2025 |
Good Afternoon house. Pls i want to ask if anyone else has experienced a situation where they applied for a programme but havent heard back after 2 months since application. I applied for a phd programme and its going on 9/10 weeks since my application yet my application still says under processing. Would love any insight into this. |
Fantastic performance by the young chap. Just thought to ask what are you peoples thoughts . It seems these days JAMB success has become highly ubiquitous (which is great) unlike in our days am talking 2000's where (it felt like the fear of jamb was the beginning of wisdom). if you had 250+ you were the stuff of genius. Just curious like i said. What are you guys opinions? Is it down to the difficulty level been modulated or just better preparation across board which i find unlikely but then again just curious. Thumbs up to the young chap |
Good Afternoon . Please how soon can one start visa application i suppose my question is also around what are average timelines for now. Thanks |
For the temporary residence dont you have to be staying for more than 90days to qualify? Genevach: |
The issue is being able to stay for more than the 30days stipulation for a single entry Genevach: |
Pls I want to confirm the long stay visa is the minimum stay 3 months or can one qualify for it if their planned trip is for about 2 months |
Please how much are they buying dollar as of today |
Pls I’d love to ask I had intentions of going for a 2 months visit and last time I had applied for vfs visa they gave me 30days maximum stay. Is there anyway to have a longer time period. I read somewhere on here that one may have a longer time allowance on the Evisa . Pls has any one got info about this . I’d really love to know thanks |
Pls can anyone help with this bobodudu100: |
Pls is there is a limit on how early you can apply for Evisa. I was thinking to apply for Evisa for a trip on August 25 but from what I read on the thread for the vfs you are allowed to apply from about 3 months to intended travel time . |
Good Evening house. Pls when is the earliest time a person can apply for a visit visa. I was asking because I want to know if I can apply now for a trip in August 25 since one can’t predict the timelines and I plan to attend a 2 months programme . And given the 3 month visa stipulation if It comes out too early it may expire before the program duration is complete and that may mean missing the program since one needs a valid visa during the stay. I’d really appreciate advice if applying as early as now is advisable thanks |
Ok thanks Africankel: |
Oh I ddnt know that does it mean for the 2 month programme I have to go and come back or is there a way to extend the stay beyond 30days Africankel: |
Hello guys. Pls I am trying to apply for a visit visa . For programme to happen in August through mid october But not too sure when to apply because last year when I applied the visa came out after like 3 months and I couldnt attend the programme I wanted to go for as a result . Now I am want to apply again but I want to know from you guys thoughts and experiences, is it advisable to plan to apply for a 3 months wait time or is the wait time shorter these days ? Because ideally it would be good for my visa to come out around August so that I can attend the 2 months programme bearing in mind that the visit visa they give is for 3 months . S please what are your thoughts on a good time to apply . Thanks |
Wow thanks so much for such a comprehensive response. Super grateful JustMellow: |

Good Evening everyone. Please what is your advice on someone intending to apply for express entry and while in the pool also apply separately for a postgraduate programme eg I intend to enter the pool February and apply for a programe in March/April for a course starting in January next year |
Thanks OverSabiPikin: |
Good Evening everyone. I wanted to kindly ask can one enter into the pool before taking the IELTS and doing the ECA. |
Ok I meant can I do both applications at the same time . But instead of applying for student visa . I opt for the express entry pool. So I won’t apply for student visa just apply for the PhD programs in case the process takes a while . Vikkyexman: |
Hey Guys . I was looking to apply for PhD and also apply for PR so that once the PR is out hopefully one won’t have to pay high international fees. Please what are your thoughts on this . Thanks |
