Your school should know how they send official copies, they can send eCopy

Thanks Chief.

Please can anyone suggest a secure and competent delivery service I can use to send my transcript to Canada. My school suggested Parchment, but I dont know how they operate.

Hello Bobomaigida,

Please can I send a private message. I'll be glad if my request is granted.

.

@ JMG12 I sent you a PM.

Could you be kind enough to reply.

Bobomaigida:
Yes, you are expected to show what will bring you back to your home country Nigeria.

Also, you can only get work permit for him if you are going for Master's or PHD.

Yes sir. I'm going for a Masters with a first year tuition scholarship.

He is supposed to be my sponsor. My worry is if it will fly considering he is my sponsor and also going with me.

Hello,

If I'm applying with my husband as dependant, are we still expected to prove home ties?

If yes, what can qualify as such?

Integrity is a big issue in Nigeria.

Why would an organisation make commitments that they never had any intention of keeping?

Should this happen in any advanced country, Multichoice will pay through their teeth.

Bobomaigida:
1. They more or less the same thing- Your visa application is to get a study permit that will allow you study in Canada.
2. Nigerians are required to provide six months statement, even though IRCC website requests for at least four months but the documents checklist used by VOs to process Nigerian applicants demands for six months statement.
3. No one can state how long it takes to get a visa, IRCC usually publishes estimated processing times.
4. Your statement is needed to confirm your POF, it is assumed that your POF should be ready, in your account or your sponsor's account. You have to show how then funds were raised with documentary proofs and explain any huge inflow into the account(s)

Also, you need to go through the first page of this thread, to know more about what you need.
For your POF, you will need to show.
Your first year Tuition + Living expenses of $20,635+ flight costs and small change for miscellaneous.

Thank you Chief,

Please I'm a bit confused on how to proceed on my application.

I tried to create a login on the IRCC website but its requesting for an invite codita quite xomfusing for me.

What is the first step I should take on my Visa application process?

Good morning good people,

I have been offered admission to Simon Fraser for the Masters september intake.

My question is

1. which application should come first? study permit or Visa application.

2. Will a 3 - 4 month account statement with very heavy activities be sufficient?

3. How long does it take to receive Visa? This is to know when to start my application.

4. When do I need the statement of account? During study permit or Visa application?

I'll be glad if someone can be kind enough to help.

zubizareta:
There is absolutely nothing to be worried about previous denial. Declaring it doesn't affect fate of your Canada application except you committed a crime there which will be found out anyway whether you declared it or not. So best you declare it especially on that immigration form. Be silent about it in your SOP

Good day Chief,

Please will a POF of 30m be sufficient for me and my husband. Kindly consider that I have a scholarship worth 8k CAD which takes care of my first year tuition.

Thanks in anticipation

JustMellow:
Hello ColdHunter,

Your POF in inclusion of the full funding /scholarship is very sufficient. Your personal balance shouldn't be a problem because of the presence of the scholarship and sponsor's funds.

Any lump sums in your sponsor's bank account should be documentarily explained. Also, include your pay stubs for 4 - 6 months.

What is the level of the program and course?








Best Wishes!

If I get you clearly, the scholarship/funding is already part of my POF.

It's a Masters in Gerontology.

I appreciate you.

igmentality:
please how long did it take after applying before you got the PAL.

Submitted 20th February

JustMellow:
Hello ColdHunter,

Gather your documents that cover areas of finance, employment, home ties, etc. Check the thread for detailed documents others have submitted. Note that each applicant's situation is different and only select documents that relate to your situation best.

BTW, what is your course of study and program?


Things to watch out for:

• Avoid (unexplained) lump sum deposits, if possible;

• Pay the complete part of your tuition and have your living expenses in your account;

• ensure your account has historical inflows that amount to an accumulated closing balance;

• Work on your home ties and if using a sponsor, prove a strong relationship to the individual and the individual should try as much as possible to show financial commitment;

• Demonstrate reliable financial means by providing relevant sufficient documents;

• Ensure your supporting documents are legible and uploaded in the right column;

• Be sincere, and if there are any discrepancies in your personal information or situation, use the LOE to give clarity while using the SOP to elaborate on your study intent. If you feel like outsourcing your immigration letter(s), chat with GCMSWriters on IG/X;

• Declare any prior refusals, especially to the US, the UK, NZ, or Aussie;

• Lastly, avoid revealing too much information. Only give that which directly pertains to justifying your application. Quote me if you need additional information (or clarity) you couldn't find in the (previous) thread.








Best Wishes!

I really appreciate you.

One more thing please.

The scholarship covers my first year tuition.

Would this still need to form part of my POF?

My husband is my sponsor and he has an account with heavy inflow of about 25m balance. Would this amount be sufficient?

I'm a Nurse in a Federal Institution (1yr plus), but have less than 1m in my account even though my salary is close to 200k. Would this be a problem?

Hi All,

I just received a provisional admission letter FROM Simon Fraser University with an 8k scholarship. Classes start in Septwmber.

Please advise me on how to proceed and mistakes I must not make to ensure Visa approval. I'll be very glad.

Justmellow, JMG12

Watch how flood will ravage the same state that Gbola Tilumbu the fake accountant claimed that he singlehandedly built. created

Fixed

incogni2o:
Whoa, I never knew mods do anything on this thread.

It's like they just started taking action on reported posts.

I reported too and was removed

Post wasn't deleted. Reporting automatically hides the post from you, but other viewers can still see post.

Unless a mod actually deletes the post.

hapheeyxz:
I think we shouldn't be lazy to report them.
I just did now and it has been removed once again.

Lol. Doesnt work that way. Post was only hidden from you, doesnt mean it was removed.

Man United be playing total shiit.

Wonder if McTominay has touched the ball so far

Kelvin30286063:
Don't think you can successfully track it but I won't be so sure. If it's a Samsung, I can bet you can. I actually lost my Samsung S20 recently and I successfully tracked and located it on my other Samsung. It was easy and straight forward but all these Redmi, Tecno phones no get try.

Chief, please I was robbed of my Samsung s20 yesterday. Do you mind sharing information on how I can track and find it. My wife's iPhone 13 too.

I'll be glad if you can be of help.

She is more irritated than nervous or shy though.

Hopefully it's her first ever kiss and shes never being with a man.

Kelvin30286063:
I know. I have to also commend myself for my patience and apologetic mood after it happened. If I tried to argue that day, maybe I'll be dead now and labeled an armed robber.

Why is it wrong? I think that's the point of the thread. Is there any extent law prohibiting that?

NewBoyKhashoggi:
Hey 🤠

You have to be a prior (Permanent) resident in any state in the USA to qualify for in-state tuition OR you were a permanent resident in one state and transferred your studentship to another state ..then you can qualify for the in-state tuition of that state .

IN SUMMARY.... In - state tuition is liken to NIGERIA STATE OF ORIGIN ...ie a Sokoto indigen applying to Uthman Dan Fodio University will pay lesser school fees than a student coming from Lagos.

Back to USA... A Nigerian does not have to be born in America to qualify for in-state tuition but he or she must have graduated from a US HIGH SCHOOL and lived in that state after graduation for like 1 to 2 years .

In -state tuition is a subsidized tuition ...you pay lesser fees than others . Out -of -state is a normal school fees for ALL AMERICANS who comes from different states .

International student like you without any form of scholarship might even pay more school fees than Out-of -state students . Therefore, IN AND OUT-OF STATE TUITION DOES NOT CONCERN AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT .

Therefore, focus on every information directed
to international Student Applicants..



Best Wishes 🙏

I'm grateful

Can someone please explain this In-state and Out-of-state tuition thing. As an international student if I get admission to say University of Virginia and decide to live in Virginia, do I qualify for in-state tuition?

I ask because I noticed that the focus is on "State of Residence " and not origin.

Leftrightcenter:
While I have limited knowledge and information regarding this(as most schools I applied to do not have such prerequisite and it is not too common in MSc applications, except it is for research, if I am not mistaken), I think you have to go through the schools' website and then to the program(s) you're applying to and then look at the faculty members and see the professors or teachers there whose areas of work you admire or align with yours.
You can subsequently send them email(using their school contact email address) that you're interested in their works(mention specific works you are interested) and tell them you're applying to their school and will like to mentored by them if you're accepted into the program.
NB: Include a brief background of yours, and you can let them know it is because of your interest in their area of work that you're applying to school. The subject of the email could something like, "Request to be mentored by you".

Some may response, others may ignore. Don't be discouraged by that.
All the best.

I'm grateful.

Chiefs. So I've narrowed my search to 4 universities and will be applying to all 4 of them for MSc.

They are
University of Manitoba - Paediatric and Child Health
Simon Fraser - Gerontology
Memorial University of Newfoundland - Health Ethics or Public Health and
University of Alberta - Public Health.

My query is on searching for a supervisor as it's a prerequisite. When mailing the supervisor is there a template I should use or are there specific information I should to include to improve my chances of favorable response?

Leftrightcenter:
Well as I earlier stated, you have to define the path you want whether you want to enter into clinical field, academia or research.
Bear in mind that PhD takes time(≥3 years) and with PhD you will likely enter into academia or research. If time is not an issue to you, you may go for the PhD after or during which you can navigate your way into clinical nursing (writing NCLEX, obtaining licence, etc) but the little concern is loosing track along the way as you stated.
You can try masters or PhD in nursing, MPH, physiology, etc. You can research for schools that offer such.

Requirements for PhD programs as someone already stated depends on the school. But some schools I researched sometimes ago require GRE, minimum of 3.0 GPA, interview, etc. Most admit direct from BSc. However, for public health(PhD in epidemiology, biostatistics, maternal and child health, etc), an MPH or MSPH degree is almost always required.
Any health related field(like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, etc) that you took course in during your undergraduate program may not really be a deviation.

BigIyanga:
Per my limited knowledge, no 2 schools have the same admission requirements. Some do take intl students without NCLEX. You have to reach out to more schools.
Start applying to schools and stop looking at general information boards. One tested experience is better 10 scenarios posted on info board. You’re a unique candidate with your unique qualities.

Why are you considering other health-related programs… when ur nursing degree and NCLEX can you a multiple job offers in the US? It will also give you a path to citizenship.
Also, if you get tired of your PhD program, you can master out of it, and take your MS and NCKEX to job market. Either way, you are going to be fine. Good luck

Thank you Sir.

I'll keep in touch

Leftrightcenter:
I think your two options look great and promising. However, bear in mind that to practice clinically as a nurse in USA or Canada, you need NCLEX (if I am not mistaken).

As others commented, you can apply for MSc or PhD and you have high chances of getting funding. But you have to define the path you want and also know the timeline involved in finishing PhD program.
You can prepare and write the NCLEX while doing your PhD or MSc (as the case may be) and use the opportunity to also network.

Thank you Sir for your kind reply.

I already looked up MSC admissions in both countries for Nursing and found that I have to be licensed to practice before I can enroll and licensing requires writing NCLEX too.

I considered applying for MSC in other Health fields like Gerontology but I'm afraid it may be a deviation from my undergraduate field.

Also, for the PhD, what would be the requirement?

Sorry to bother you.

Experienced friends, kindly help.

I graduated with a 1st Class, BSC Nursing and currently working in a Federal Teaching Hospital.

I have two options I wish to explore:
1. Apply for a masters degree in either the US or Canada.
2. Go to Philippines for my NCLEX and then apply for jobs in either US or Canada.

Which would you suggest, especially on a budget of 12m.

Kindly assist.
