@pampem, any news from MAEP MUN, my friend is yet to received a decision email despite being told decision made since last week weds, any update from your side ?

Original certificate or transcript (if it has the degree gotten on it) sealed and stamped across the seal of the envelope. It can be sent by person or the awarding school itself.

akanni:
Thanks bro, finally, if the school says they require original certificate, what do they mean? Is it a certified true copy, notarized, or just the original that is with her?

You can't renew a nigerian passport until 6 months to expiry, so apply wt your current pp and later renew at Ottawa. To your first question, you can try to get a study leave and then link your current job activity to a need for an MSc in ChemEng.

kol1234:
Good People,

I studied chemical engineering and would be going for MSc (chemical engineering) but I dont currently work in an engineering firm, do you think getting a study leave is necessary? and hope it will not reduce my chance, considering the fact that my MSc course is not inline with the the company's service(s).

Also my passport would expire by 2017 but not up to the time I would be completing the program. Is it ok to use it to file in application or a renewal would be necessary?

Thank you

Bro, I would suggest she waits till she gets an unconditional letter before she extends her study permit. Once she submits her official transcripts, she will be issued one. She has to attach theunconditional to the initial conditional one to apply for study permit extension.

akanni:
Bro, i get sister wey wan cross from Ontario to Regina, were you given conditional offer letter or was it unconditional?
She wants to extend her study permit but not sure if the conditional letter she got can fly.
What are your thoughts?

Bro mi. I av sent you a PM. Pls we need to discuss as per accomodation things

Snappyfingaz:

Medical results are only valid for 3 months. Cheers.

Sholaystar4me:
Thanks bro...for instance maybe I did medicals 3yrs ago(and passed) so for one reason or d other (perhaps due to some missing documents) d application didnt go through and am fortunate to get all d documents back so what I want to know now is that is it possible not to do any medicals again this year(since I did one in 2012) and just add the missing docs and submit again or do u think the medicals I did in 2012 will have expired and not valid again?

Thanks

Congrats bro. You be correct guy!

mrnilobrawn:
Thank you dear, am still here to help as much as i can. Its never over until we ALL hv got our visas...

opsynusy:

Checkyink thanks o ,ur last minute prayer probably sealed the whole app cos I got the mail few hours afterwards...(a mail I almost deleted, cos I was busy clearing the junk mails preparing my mailbox for the medical mail,if to say I accidentally deleted that mail,then the witches in my village for dey dance skelewu right now)

bighead1 sure,u must carry that bighead come canada

Congrats opsynusy! I told ya ma'm.

Lagbara Olorun, you will get your TRV this time around. Mark this !

opsynusy:
Congrats checkyink

It is difficult but not impossible getting a PhD position with an MEng, the problrm is research experience which the MEng does not offer thus, most supervisors would be wary to take in an MEng holder into his lab for PhD studies. An MEng with distinction will help tho your PhD program will be longer coz your first year will involve taking MSc level courses.

KELVIN086:
hello house, pls i would be applying soon but i don't know which option to pick from between Msc electrical engineering and M.eng electrical engineering , i studied elect/elect
this decision has prevented me from completing my online application since like 4 weeks ago
case 1
Msc is research based and gives me the opportunity to start my Phd(which might even be fully funded) immediately after completion of the msc
but it is just too competitive and more difficult to get an admission than M.eng. I have a cgpa of 4.02/5.0 but i dont believe that is competitive enough to get the Msc admission since most research supervisors in canada only accept outstanding students because of the amount of applications they get.

case2
M.eng is just based on course work i.e the normal reading and writing of exams we did at bsc level. Getting an M.eng admission would be quite easy for me .
M.eng would not give me the opportunity to start a phd immediately i would still have to do that bloody msc before i can start a phd that would make it a total of 4 years before i can start a phd although i have age on my side(21 yrs old) but that does not not mean i should kill myself in the university.

another question i would like to ask from experienced msc and meng peeps in the house is if someone gets distinctions in his M.eng result can he be admitted for a Phd if he wishes considering his result.

If you have enough cash, take a cab. It will take you to your exact destination.

tweeny24:

MSc (food safety) certificate and transcript (UK uni)
Birth certificate,
Certificate of origin

Letter of explanation showing reasons for choice of PhD program and canada
Intl passport and photocopies of UK visa page

Bank acct statement ending with 25M
Notarised letter of sponsorship with sponsorship offered at 5m

Phtocopies of sponsors intl passport and visa pages.

Despite coming with a distinction masters from the UK, OAU only offered me an MPhil, I told God and I believed Him that Ife would never be my bus stop in life. After several email exchanges and skype meetings with my new supervisor, he offered me a PhD position in his lab and the rest is history. God is the Greatest!
My dream is to graduate with a PhD, get a postdoc and subsequently become a Professor in a Canadian uni. Guys, if your dreams and aspirations in life don't scare you, then they are not worth it, go for the impossible.
Cheers,
Yinka.

Apply with it. When you get to Canada, you can renew your passport at Ottawa. Cheers. You can't renew your pp until 6 months to expiry.

Snappyfingaz:
That six months full time employment has got to be a job related to what you studied and it applies to any one who studied full time for at least 8 months. Where you dey for this town boss?

When are you planning to re-apply, I'm sure you will get it this time.

opsynusy:
torontofinest,you don reach here...lol

In saskatchewan, once you get an MSc or PhD degree and work for six months, you can apply for their provincial nominee program. Same for Manitoba. They have the best PR programs in Canada. Don't know of others. Cheers.
