earthgreeners: In addition, you should consider 3things ; ranking, Tuition fee and cost of living before applying to a School....MUN is cheap and very competitive, d province of Newfoundland and Labrador has a reasonable living cost so is other province like Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, manitoba, quebec etc. Before you apply, ensure you meet the requirement for the course and Market urself well with ur SOP just as mercylicious said. Also check to see if u meet requirements for funding and awards cos some universities offers partial scholarship to students with good grade,...Early application might give u alot of advantage...


Allow enough time to apply for Visa (Atleast u should apply 4months before your start date) i.e those willing to start in Fall of 2013 should apply for visa btw March and May, 2013.....
visit www.canadainternational.gc.ca for more on study visa application..download the checklist on the Nigerian page for list of documents u are required to prepare for submission.

funny enough cost of living wen it comes to accommodation from wat all my friends have told me is basically the same around....the difference is based on the Tate of individuals...


Cool but someone like me intends applying this year for 20113fall in MUN

talktolaranow: I also like the fact that it's a small town and do not mind the cold.All will be well.

Am glad we appreciate the same things...


Here is my email okereke84@yahoo.com
Meanwhile an undergraduAte course in statistics s lo required...how serious is that requirement

abestine: @talktolara were u able to get a supervisor for ur course? I studied industrial mathematics, want to go for MSc statistics

Her course is course based and not research base so she doesn't need a supervisor at all......

@lara...MUN might be competitive but the weather there isn't competitive at all...lotsa pple are discouraged cos it's a small town and totally very cold....funny enough that is why I like it...I wnt get sidetracked or distracted at all.....

talktolaranow: Yeah I hope so too given how competitive MUN is cos of the low tuition and living cost.We can only hope for the best.

Oh really ...is it that competitive...well as for me competitive or not...that is what m father in heaven has signed and delivered to me on a platter of GOLD....IJN...amen

I wonder why I have not seen any uni of Regina candidate here...and they offer one of the best engineering graduate studies....pweddy strange....and I know a lot of Nigerians there...intact it was my second choice....

@talktolaranow...am sure health education will give you a very strong base plus the fact that your application came in the earliest you know...it shows how serious you are....

@abestine your letter of reference should be written with a letterheaded paper...am sure it wil give it more authencity.....truth be told

[quote author=earthgreeners]

If ur Masters is course based I dnt think u need to bother yourself about the supervisor...
But If research based, they usually advise u contact one of their faculty members whose interest is in line with urs...Norwithstanding, If u are unable to get response , u can go on with ur application.
In that case, they would pass ur file round to match u with a supervisor based on ur research interest stated in ur letter of intent. At this instance, ur chances of getting admission are narrowed...
It all depends on the Department u are applying to....[/q




Yes yes ur very on point....I see your very comfy with MUN...but you prefer Dallhousie Halifax.....

@talktolaranow....MPH with specialization in public health and population is open to pple from diverse course.....or are u looking at the nutrition and dietetics aspect

abestine: @talktolara were u able to get a supervisor for ur course? I studied industrial mathematics, want to go forMSc statistics

Hey up in mph u don't need a supervisor....it's the only course in mun that has that priviledge

talktolaranow: I studied Health Education.U?

I studied international relation n iplomacy

@sleek Bella...I guess ur at mun now..pls can I have your email address so that I can asky ou some questions plssss

talktolaranow: I paid the application fee with a friend's credit card.GT Bank Visa card should do the job.I also posted my references via DHL after I confirmed from School of Graduate Studies as my uni here in Nigeria does not have university mail but I ensured that the letters are sealed and stamped across.I hope this helps.

Oh I see...now am getting you both well....I intend doing same too cos I do not think my sch too has a mailing addy

abestine:
@talktolaranow, how did you pay for the verification fee($80) and how did you get both your professional and academic reference to access the refrence link? Cos i was made to understand that the academic reference letter must be sent through a lecturer having the school mail address.

Am a bit lost here..pls Lara and co...can u explain...

talktolaranow: My dear,u do not need to write GRE.I also applied for MPH at MUN.I made my application since June 2012 and indicated that it be considered for fall 2013 admission.I've sent all my supporting docx as well and my application has been updated on their portal.I wish us all Goodluck.

earthgreeners:

I say Big Amen to that, we shall surely fly on the same plane ...
*By the grace of the Almighty, the all knowing*..Have u written ur statement of interest and did ur department require u to search for a potential supervisor?
