Hi All, a quick one please to Ontario college applicants. I'm planning on making an application to 5 Ontario colleges (with one application fee one can select max of 5 institutions) for Project Management (Graduate certificate). Do I need a transcript assessment to complete this application.

Please I need your input. I think it will be expensive to send the transcript to 5 different schools from Nigeria.

Have you seen any?

None yet. Still searching though.

Do you know of any??

Hi All,

Please I need schools that offer PGD in petroleum engineering.

Thanks for your anticipated support.

How does this work?? I checked this link and all I can see there is how to make payment. How credible is this agency?

Hi All,

A quick one please to Uni Ottawa current students/admitted students. Is it mandatory to do transcript assessment before applying or should I just send the transcript directly to the school.

I'm currently preparing an application for Engineering mgt Msc. winter 2017.

Excellent advice. Germany is an excellent backup plan. Don't know if I agree with your arguments about Germany being better, especially as you ultimately will need to learn a new language (tho a lot of their MSc programs are in English) as opposed to Canada where integration would be easier. Yet, I wholeheartedly agree with you that it is an excellent second choice to Canada because of its excellent economy, fantastic engineering tradition, ease of staying after school, and more.

@ Bandeco, @thesoj, please do you know schools in Germany that offer Msc in Petroleum Engineering. Do they accept Nigerian graduates with 2.2?

Close to NONE....
The VO will think that after a BSC in elect elect...what does a diploma in the same field have to offer you

Go for PGC

My dear, with a good SOP, he can state what he wants to achieve. We all know that Bsc's lack practical experience which most diplomas offer, especially the ones with co-op opportunities. If it is convincing enough, the VO will see reasons with him.

It is not compulsory. Just go with a photocopy of your passport bio page and passport photographs.

Thanks a bunch. Submitted on feb 4th. Like I said earlier I am 29, graduated 2010(bsc quantity surveying) and I am interested in proj management in humber(graduate cert) may intake-already paid first term tuition as the deadline expired march 9th, funnily enough my passport got dispatched from Accra same day.is that just a coincidence? I couldn't pay in time to attach my receipt to my app. docs submitted as follows:
1. Degree cert.
2.passport
3. Birth certificate
4. Soa sponsor's (pops) over 8m closing
5. Sop
6. Police character cert
7. Cic forms
8. Uni transcript
9. Waec and neco certs
10. Sponsor's pension statement
11. Letter of support from aforementioned parent
couldn't submit landed prop docs cos c of o not ready. Will they take survey plan and so on? Currently unemployed but was working with a construction firm btw 2012 - 2014. No payment slip or employment letter submitted. How can i make my case stronger? i want to reapply asap.I hope I can get good advice cos I don't want to waste my money and time if I can't get visa on a second application. Thanks all.
I don't see anything wrong with your first degree and course you are going for. Did you submit your resume. In your SOP, explain why you stopped the work. Honesty is very important.

The mail means ur passport is ready for pickup at Lekki....the vfs office

My cousin got a similar message today and it is less than a month he submitted his application. He did upfront medical though. Since he didn't get an approval mail, what does this mean?

Going for project management after studying engineering is not strange because engineering work environment is based on projects(e.g roads, buildings). I expect the visa officers should know this.

I concur. Engineering is all about proper project management.

Gurus in the house, please I need your take on something. I submitted my application yesterday.(Used two sponsors). My primary sponsor (brother) gave me his biz account statement with a little over 4m balance but the 6months cash flow is almost 500m. Co sponsor also my bro gave me both salary account and saving account, both have a combined balance of almost 5m. I also submitted mine with a balance of 600k n cash flow of over 4m in 6 months. Do you there will be any case of insufficient funds. Applied for an Diploma program at Nait.

You are applying for a student visa, yet you are already talking about working there after your studies. This implies to the VO that you might not come back after your studies should you not be able to Canada any longer.



@thesoj, is it better this way? My bro who is my sponsor has a coy that is into oil trading, haulage and logistics.

"After completing my studies in Petroleum engineering, I would return to Nigeria to contribute my quota to my country’s oil and gas sector as a seasoned field engineer in upstream and downstream operations. While at that, I would look at addressing issues associated with gas flaring which is predominant in the oil producing regions of the country by suggesting/implementing ways in which the gas that is flared can be channeled into storage facilities, from where they will be redistributed to homes and other industries for usage. I also envisage the future as working together with my brother at his company, K****** Petroleum to set up an engineering department that will render oil sector engineering services to the IOC’s and other indigenous oil companies and will also act as a consulting firm in Nigeria. I would also like to contribute my share to my country by taking up a teaching position, possibly a part time one at a university in Nigeria."

You are asking me to answer your question yet @vickyehi already told you to read my old posts for the answer. I'm sorry but you need to be willing to read the thread even if to a limited extent. Anyways, read from page 380 to page 383 of Part 8.

@thesoj, thanks. That really helped. Saw this also online from a visa representative in Canada. Thought I should share.

Just saying you'll return to Nigeria after the course is absolutely not sufficient. Anybody can say that, you need to be absolutely and unambiguously convincing. The burden of proof is on you to state what you would do in Nigeria in the aftermath of your program. Do you have goals or ambition on what you could do in Nigeria with your Canada training? What are the economic opportunities that you would gain with this Canada training? You need to apply for the visa with the assumption & mindset that you won't be getting PGWP or PR (which is actually a real possibility fyi). It's ok for plans in the future to change, everybody (including the VO, they are not stupid_) knows that. I previously explained this here.

You also need to closely link your past educational trajectory and work experience with both your Canada training and your future ambitions. You need to be as specific as possible.

PS: I received your PM and read the SOP. Make the changes I recommended above and send another version. Take your time and don't be in a hurry.

@thesoj, please is this ending part of my statement good enough. I need your advice ASAP because I'll submit tomorrow morning.

After completing my studies in Petroleum engineering, I would like to obtain work experience in Canada to get exposed to the work culture, the difference in the technology involved with respect to Nigeria , and professional work environment prevalent there. Having done that, I would like to return to my country Nigeria and implement what's been learnt in Canada. I envisage the future as setting up my own consulting firm in Nigeria. I would also like to contribute my share to my country by taking up a teaching position, possibly a part time one at a university in Nigeria.

@churkie.......wat I read somewhere on the thread is for u to put the amt for just this ist year except ur course of study is a 1year programme then u will have to show the entire money for the programme.if more than 1 year just show funds for 1 years duration. But make sure whatever u write as total here your sponsors statement of account can cater for it while also having enough change remaining.

@thesoj, please can you confirm this info. I really need your help on this and a few other things. Pls how can I inbox you.

Vickyehi the first is a letter O not zero as in 0

Still on this application form, the section that has the fee breakdown, is the amount available for your stay supposed to be for the two years or just a year. I read on their website that a minimum of 10000 CAD is required for a year. Since I'm going for a two years program, is it right if I put 24,000 CAD.

First Post, learnt about this thread 7 weeks into my application and just wanted to give back;

Visa Application: June 11th (Online)
Medical: Upfront May 29th (did mine outside the country)
Biometrics: June 11th
Medical Passed: 21st August
Passport Request/Approval: 25th August (submitted same day)
Passport Collected (with Correspondence letter): 27th August (2yrs TRV)

Going to SAIT, BAPT (Applied Degree) program, don't know why it took so long but glad I got approved.
I guess they are still attending to Fall Applicants, so there still hope for those waiting...


Please is this your first degree? I want to know because I'm a B.Eng holder going an applied Diploma at NAIT.

[quote author=favourmic post=39835447]

I had a similar issue. You can only do this at NIS HQ Abuja. Go to Glasshouse, write an application to the Comptroller General and state on your application that the year of birth on your passport is an error.You will have to pay a non refundable application fee of about N35,000. Attach your WAEC cert, birth Certificate, Your university transcript with your DOB clearly showing on it. Get an official to help you track your file. If you have not traveled with your PPT, you stand a better chance of having your application approved. If approved, you will have to pay a passport fee of 24500. Good luck with your application. I got mine approved in a month.

Please note that paying huge sums for it to be done is not a guarantee that it will be approved. The immigration big boys (DCG or ACG) will have to approve it. So please choose the right path to it.
