Good Morning beautiful and handsome people of God. Happy Sunday to you all.

Please I will like to find out if Canadian embassy can still grant study visa to someone who gets master programme in any college in Canada.

Secondly Is it possible to get a work permit after a ONE YEAR MASTER program in Canada

Thirdly, does Canada share information with Ireland.

Thanks and God bless

Thanks.
I tried browsing sku website but couldn't see any info. Are you sure its not typographical error.
Please confirm.
Secondly, is like CIT does not offer post graduate courses, I tried browsing it but could not see any info on that
Thirdly does Canada share information with Ireland

Wolesantos:
you don't have to apply separately it comes in when you have been given admission and it's based on academic merit. check the sku website too

Thanks and God bless

Hi Chibabe. I did PTE (there's TOEFL and IELTS);prepared within 4days (because i didn't have much time) and had overall score of 69. I would suggest starting early if there's more time to prepare . I could remember using some PTE android apps i found on google app store as well as Youtube videos and some google search as well.That was all.
One benefit of PTE is that you get your results within one or two weeks or even matter of days- for this reason,i chose PTE.
Wishing you all the best.
Cheers.

Wow!!!!!Thats great... Thanks for the info
Did you apply separately for the scholarship? Please how did you go about it?

Wolesantos:
Dear sir I have applied to CIT and I guessed there scholarship is still available which I got 25% off my tution fees worth €3000. I will be happy to have u apply too hoping u and Everyone gets the offer too.

@icas may d Almighty God bless u now and forever.

I appreciate even as I never start visa application but your words of encouragement and advice is overwhelming

Wow!!!! 8.0 !!!!!!!!!! Thank God for you oooo... thanks for the info

CODEDBARREL:
I have heard people say PTE is easier. For sure I know IELTS is kinda tough, but I got 8.0 as overall bandscore. I have not heard of any discrimination to any of the English tests.

Good luck.

Thanks and God bless

Chimamanda24:
With preparation all is easy to write actually. You just have to study, get familiar with the question patterns, learn time management! You will be fine

PLEASE HOUSE WHICH OF THESE ENGLISH TEST IS EASY TO WRITE

God bless you... I never said you were rude oooo...hahahhahahaha..I was careful with my words. Allthesame thanks and God bless.

ICaSNg:
Let me answer you as an elderly person;
No age limit for PG -postgraduate programs
Relevance of PG course must correspond to previous UG course and work experience
Proof of finances for married applicant is much more than single applicants- its not 1 answer fits all.
DIT/TUD and Griffith may not require IELTS / other english proficiency test,
CIT requires with outstanding results in BSc


English proficiency test for the last time is required for visa application.

Am not rude , just excellently brilliant at what i do to the glory of GOD!!!

Good day @ ICaSNg .... Before I sent out a question, I have gone through but couldn't see any related answer. Honestly you were rather harsh with your words. The energy and strength you wasted by demoralising and discouraging me typing that below is enough to answer just yes or no or rather simple tense to edify my soul. Please be polite next time we are all hear to learn and acquire knowledge so that we can impact on others. If all the answers are here, why do people ask questions and you replied?
Why referring me to an agent? honestly you have spoilt my day already..... see me trying to go to nairaland with excitement to meet my people.... only for you to.... any way........IT IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!

ICaSNg:
Please take time to read through the thread, no one has the luxury of doing your research for you. So its either you speak to an agent or READ.
Cheers ma

Hi Guys

I am sharing this to encourage someone.

About 15 months ago, I took the brave decision to travel abroad for better opportunities. Brave because I had a decent job as per naija standards but I was pretty stagnant and making no genuine progress in my career. I considered several countries but eventually settled for Ireland as it was less competitive than other countries and they offered graduates a genuine chance to get a job after graduation. I barely put enough money together for visa application, flights and 50% of the tuition. I came to study a Masters in Computing(Data Analytics) at DIT, I did not know much about the school but the deciding factor in picking it was that they allowed a 50% down payment of tuition for registration.

It was a very intense period while I studied, I was lucky to be get a part time job almost immediately after I arrived and it was extremely difficult juggling this with full time study especially as the masters degree was extremely packed. I did not need any extra motivation to dedicate my whole being to studying, this often meant I had to hang around all night in Starbucks, completing assignments and studying.

Now to the testimony, about 2 months ago I graduated and I actually had a job offer as an Analytics Consultant in a top Consulting Firm here in Dublin before I graduated. Now this is nothing but God's grace as I know for a fact it is not easy. On accepting the Job offer, the company wasted no time in preparing a critical skills work permit application(equivalent of green card) on my behalf which got approved about two weeks ago.

I used nairaland a lot when researching study destinations and putting together my visa papers so feel free to reach out to me if you require any information.

Good day @ Dizzynet...

Hi Guys,

I am about sending in my application for study visa.

I just observed an "evidence of english level" requirement on the requirements page , and they require test results like ielts, toefl etc.

I was offered masters admission without having to submit any ielts or toefl certificate and so I never imagined It would be a compulsory visa requirement.

Please gurus in the house or anyone that has gotten approved study visa , is it compulsory to submit ielts or toefl results with visa application ??

PLEASE @ ATTRACTION WHAT DID YOU SELECT AS YOUR PURPOSE OF VISIT OR TRIP. MY BROTHER IS ALSO GOING FOR A CONFERENCE BUT THE DROP DOWN ON THE PURPOSE OF TRIP DID NOT MATCH HIS OWN PURPOSE OF TRIP. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP.

Attraction:
I'm genuinely going for an interview on Feb 4th in Abuja, I have a youth assembly conference in New York on Feb 14th, I'm going for 10days. I'm a banker, earn above 350k monthly, I have been to Indonesia 2015 and Dubai 2018.

My situation. I have a Sister on a H4 visa, even though visiting her is not the purpose of my trip. I applied for tourism purpose and I have never been to the US and this was my first application. I got my degree and master’s in the UK and I still have valid UK visa. However, I have a new passport and the visa is on an old one. In fact I had two old passports in the file with me and I was not asked for them. Interview was in Abuja and while on the line, the slim Black American lady quickly rejected three applicants, while the other windows were still occupied. She did not spend more than a minute on any of them. I was praying not to be directed to hers’ and to be honest, I did not hear the responses of the three because I tuned out. I was now directed to her window.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning, I have a bit of a stutter, I will need you to be patient
VO: That’s Okay
V.O: Are you travelling alone?
Me: Yes
V.O: Where exactly are you going to?
Me: Atlanta, New Orleans and New York
V.O: What are you planning to do when you travel?
(I have a full itinerary and I took my time, pls note the WE in my response)
Me: Arrive Atlanta on the 2nd, WE will take a road trip to New Orleans on the 3rd, Plantation Tour and steam boat cruise on the 4th, Mardi Gras parade on the 5th, Back to Atl on 6th , fly to New York on the 8th, Catch Chicago on Broadway on the 8th, two days tour on 9th and 10th, back to Atl on the 11th, 5 hour sight-seeing tour bus on the 12th, Southern food tour on the 14th, fly back on the 15th.
V.O: Who is the WE?
Me: My friend that I will be staying with
V.O: What do you do?
Me: I own a …………….we work with mostly Government Parastatals like…………
V.O: How many staff do you have?
Me: I have X number of staff and when needed I use adhoc staff
V.O: Are you single?
Me: Yes, but I live with my nephew and my two dogs (I had plenty pics of me and my dogs, but I was not asked for any document, not even my other passports)
V.O: Who is Ifiiiiii?
(the V.O was trying to pronounce my Sister’s name, so I helped her out with it)
Me: She is my Sister
V.O: Not your friend?
Me: No, my sister
V.O: What is her status?
Me: She is on a H4 Visa
The V.O typed for about a minute and in my head I was like oh! dear! Now she’s gonna refuse
V.0: When last did you see her?
Me: 8 years ago
V.O: Are you planning to see her on this trip?
Me: She will be in Michigan at the time I plan to travel, but I will see her in subsequent trips
V.O: Where else have you been to?
Me: I have been travelling to the UK since I was a year old, I went to school in the UK and I have travelled extensively within the United Kingdom and I still a valid visa (she didn’t ask to see it)
V.O: (hands over a white sheet) this paper explains how you can pick your passport, enjoy your trip
Me: (In shock) thank you, thank you

When people say Visa is God’s doing, that is not a lie. A Pastor with extensive travel history, was denied Visa. I had everything going against me, Sister in the US, Single and of marriageable age. I stammer, especially if am in a tense situation but for some stroke of luck, once I told her I stammer, I did not stutter throughout the interview. Honestly, I avoided any US visa thread on Nairaland for four days before my interview, because the rejections were depressing and I just was reading US visa success stories just to create a positive vibe in my head. I also knew it was not do or die, since I am going on holiday, I figured if they said no, I will go somewhere else. I planned to smile all through but I did not, I was just formal in my responses. Interview was yesterday and this afternoon I got a message that passport is ready for collection. Good luck with to all the applicants, just ensure you know your travel plans and be confident.

GOOD AFTERNOON AND HAPPY NEW NEW TO WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF GOD.....
PLEASE MY BROTHER WANT TO TRAVEL TO US FOR CONFERENCE.. WHAT WILL I CHOOSE AS THE PURPOSE OF TRIP ... I DID NOT SEE ANY ONE THAT MATCH THE PURPOSE WHICH IS CONFERENCE.
PLEASE I WILL APPRECIATE IF I CAN GET AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE

Thanks so much sir............
