Chechem,

While you wait for Makano response...

You do not need IELTS or Any English Test to apply for a study permit.

Thanks very much Sir. No need of waiting anymore. Thanks. Thanks too Nakano, if you have anything to add, please do.

Dear Makano,
Please I need clarification on something.
The college I am applying to does not need me to prove my proficiency in English because I already possess a degree.
But I want to also ask if ielts or any English test is compulsory when applying for a study permit, after I must have gotten admission?
Thanks in advance...

Frm question, I guess it was 1 year program and you want to do another one so as to qualify for 2-3years PGWP?

Sometime ago, there was a debate here as to is it ok and safe to work before your School resumes. Many adviced against why many said please the person can go ahead, that nothing will happen that others have done it and are now PR holders. I waited to see the person who did same to come give us first hand, but non came forward.

Now I will be sincere with you here. This a faceless forum and as such people can tell you things that even them wont do for fear of being denied PGWP at the end. I do tell my peoole that if one can stay jobless in Nigeria for 2 years and more without dying, why then will that person want to risk his dream because of few month 40hrs weekly job that may deny you lifetime 40hrs weekly income.

So my candid advice, to qualify for 2-3years PGWP, and about to start his next 1year studies concurrently, let him chill please. He is lucky he is already there. Let him be receiving atleast cool weather breeze till Sept ok.

My humble opinion though.

A one year certificate program does not qualify one for a PGWP?

Hello Chechem

Most schools do not make IELTS compulsory for Nigeria applicants cos they know we are an English speaking country, so you should submit your WAEC, just to show that you were taught in English language in your home country..

In addition, a graduate certificate program is a lower degree to M.Sc., this doesn't show Career progression..

You are expected to apply for a PhD, or at least another Masters...

Except you wanna hide your Msc and apply for the graduate certificate program..

Peace

Thanks very much. I opted for the Graduate Certificate Program because I wanted a change in career. M

Goodevening house, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this...

I want to apply for a graduate certificate program in a college, I have BSc and MSc, will I be asked for ielts?

Please house, how much is 2022 Jamb form and when is it starting?

Its urgent please.

Maypearl:


Bank statements (MBS if sponsor is from Nigeria)
Bank reference (not sure if this is mandatory, but I think it helps)
Letter from sponsor stating willingness to support you financially
Employment letter or business Doc to show source of fund

Thats all? I see people adding land documents etc
Please what is MBS and what if sponsor is not in Nigeria?

So sorry for the many questions, I am new.

Please house, what are the typical documents needed from a sponsor.

I have read alot from other members but some are just many, so I truly need the mandatory ones.

Thanks in advance.

Osemigho:

Yes you can, but it will be technically too much documentation to prove their income source and your relationship to them. Considering that visa officers are already biased against Nigerian applicants, I won't advise anyone to have more than 2 sponsors. It can easily be interpreted as poor or limited financial assets. All the best.

Thanks alot. I thought it will give me more points, especially if there are enough funds in the accounts.

Ketima:


Hello Chemchem

Sorry I will have to use question to answer your question.

First, are all these sponsors related to you like parents, siblings or are they 3rd party sponsor's like aunt's, uncle's and friends.


Now putting yourself as the VO, if you have your 3 siblings willing to sposnor you, it will be more convincing to the VO that your parents and or siblings are coming together to sponsor their child or sibling in education which can easily be believed and accepted. But when you have three 3rd party sponsors coming together to sponsor you, I will be frank with you, VO will see it as you have gone to gather funds for DEMONSTRATION PURPOSE.

To even use a single 3rd party sponsor for an application is hard to prove not to talk of 3 third party sponsors.

Okay. Thanks very much, 2 of the sponsors are my siblings while the 3rd is my wife who is already a permanent resident in Canada. However, I am having doubts about using my wife, since they may see it as against the home tie policy. Please further advise me on this.

Better

Please house, can I have like 3 sponsors?

Shespeaks:
No, not all! I'm waiting for endorsement by the Newfoundland provincial government. Haven't had anything to do with police character report yet. But I sure will during visa application, that's after endorsement.

Okay dear. Please can I get your contact, it is very important. My email is ejiykzazi2007@yahoo.com.

Thanks

On my way back from work, driving on a highway, I noticed two cars reversing. This is usually a sign of FRSC officers ahead but i couldn't see any so I trottled on.

A short distance ahead I sighted a police van then I came on VIO checking. I was told to pa4k which i did and the checks started.
They checked my tyres then went to my papers. The lad then said my papers look suspicious and went ahead to send my plate number to his office to authenticate my papers.

After a delay of close to an hour, hia affice called and he told me the data they have with them shows my papers ought to have expired in february 2021 but what i had with me is to expire in february 2022.

Arguments ensued and I was told the fine is 50k. I have a lot to do with the car next week and besides children's school's resuming so i couldn't allow them take the cqr to their office.

To cut a long story short, I parted with 40k to the lad and gave him 10k to get me authentic papers by monday next week.

The said 'fame papers' was issued to me at Board of Internal Revenue office in Uyo, Akwa Ibom Stage, where one is to renew his papers. I actually got there and gave a lady i was introduced to the money and she went ahead to make payments- as i assumed, and gave me the papers.

If a government agency can issue fake papers and a sister agency collect penalties what's the hope for Nigeria?

Honestly i don't think i can let this slide i have to pursue this matter, only wish i can vividly recognise the lady that got me the papers at BIR.

This is my worst experience on the road so far and ita happened when i need money. Sad!

Next time don't give any agent money, most of them have their own fake printed papers and receipts. They will collect the money, get to their houses and write them for you...

Work into the agency, locate their Motor Licensing Administration office, they will attend to you within minutes. The funny thing is that, it will be cheaper that going through agents.

I work with a State Revenue Service but not in your State. I would have thought those VIO officers a very bitter lesson.

Please house,
I have a fiancee that's a PR but she was invited by someone and as such cannot invite me yet even when we get married until 5 years. She is coming back this year for us to get married properly.

So I want to ask, after we marry officially, can I add her to my EE profile? If its possible, will her residing in Canada give me extra points or just normal points as a spouse?

Please dear, so sorry that I can not help you with your questions but I really need clarification. In your aipp processing till when you started waiting for endorsement letter, was there any stage they asked you to submit police character report?

No Ph.D PCR currently in NOUN.

I didn't mean in NOUN, I was only trying to know if it is in line.

POLITICAL SCIENCE(BSC)- PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION(MSC)- PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION(PHD)

Goodevening House,
I have a question that needs urgent answer...

I have a BSC in Political Science from UNN, I also possess an MSc from NOUN. I want to proceed to PhD but this time I want to go for Peace and Conflict Resolution. Can I gain admission directly into any University to study this new interest?

Please how much is Rav 4 1998 model engine and gear. Please state the price separately and number to call you with...

Is it still available? I am offering 1.050m... Deal?

Please house, is it a crime to do 2 jobs in Nigeria? I have a job that runs 6pm to 7:30am and I just secured a govt job that runs from 8:00am to 5pm.

I am a young man and I think I can combine both for the main time, the govt job keep insisting that we resign from any other jobs we are doing.

I just want to know if its a crime to combine jobs in Nigeria, evennif none is clashing and none is affecting the other...

I know some people might say that I am greedy but I am not, the salaries are small and bills/responsibilities are many.

Thanks everyone... My choice is leaning towards lecturing already. But I am considering that being a State Polytechnic, the pay may not be okay.

I truly have enormous passion for lecturing, I am a teacher as a side hustle and I am enjoying the professional but for the pay...

Thanks once again for your contributions and corrections. God bless...

Thanks for everyone who contributed...

I seek your advises in order to make informed decisions... For me, I already know which one to go for but someone's advise or suggestion may lead me to a more favorable path...

I truly need more inputs... Thanks.

Please house, I need your kind advises...

Which one is advisable to go for?

1. Assistant Lecturer in a State Polytechnic.
2. Assistant Superintendent II of Prisons.

I am a MSc holder. Thanks...

Please are you an alumni of unizik postgraduate school? Please i need help on what to expect in the entrance exam meant for postgraduate studies. Thank you

Are you an applicant? Please how can I meet you or call you. Thanks...

ejibaba:


Well your questions were not directed to me but let me help. As for Acceptability and Validity trust me it's 100%. However, there is always the tendency to make you feel less of them that did their Masters in other institutions. It will all finally be based on your personal ability and what you know an how you can defend what you know. Do not let anyone make you feel less because it's an NUC approved institution to run postgraduate programme. Check their site

Thanks Sir. I have been in dilemma. Now I can go ahead. I appreciate...

true talk

Please bro. I sent you a PM... What to discuss something with you. Its very important...

Please house, anyone with experience running a postgraduate programme in IMSU? PhD to be precise... Please share...

I am contemplating starting a PhD programme with them...

Good evening everyone,
I am so pleased to have found this thread. I am contemplating going for my PhD programme but what I am seeing here is really making me scared, as if it will be a very challenging task and if I will be up to it. However, from observation, the thread consist of more science scholars, I may be wrong as I have not gone through the entire pages.

I am an intending PhD student, with
B.Sc Political Science(UNN)
M.Sc Public Administration (NOUN)

I am considering Public Sector Management or Human Resource Management for PhD but in Imo State University(IMSU)

Areas I need clarification are:
1. Are there possibilities to get funding for Social Sciences courses and for Nigerian Universities?

2. What are the procedures for PhD? Must I first get a supervisor, get research topics and have published works before I can apply?

3. For my chosen areas for PhD, following the trend, which area is more promising to venture into.

4. Can I be working and running a PhD programme?

Thanks everyone. God bless us...

Obviously, this thread have been abandoned. No one is coming to give updates anymore...
