First things first..

You need to write a strong proposal. Draft something of between 2-4 pages. Once you have your proposal, the next thing is to identify schools and potential supervisors. I could help you by narrowing your scope. What specific area of Political Science are you interested in? Comparative Politics, Policy Studies, International Relations, Strategic Studies, or what?

Please I got a friend with a Masters GPA of 3.58 in Educational Measurement and Evaluation
Is it possible to have a PHD scholarship with this GPA & what areas of study can he further in & institutions.
Thanks

Hi guys, sorry it took this long.

Did not do covid test. No one checked my luggage in Lagos. Just went to the Ethiopian airlines stand, gave them enrolment letter, admission letter, arrive can receipt photocopy and I checked in my luggage. Begged the checker to put me by the window for all flights up to Newfoundland, he did and i just tipped his something. Went to have breakfast and then dashed towards the boarding gate. As expected, na only pilot no tax me. Plane left around 2. We got to Addis Ababa around 9.
Getting out of the plane, we rushed to the boarding gate to get set for Dublin. Plane left around 11 and we got to Dublin about 8 hrs later I think. This was so so long. There was quite a delay at Dublin I think because of logistics but from Dublin to Toronto it took us about 7 hrs. The journey was long for me as my max before now used to be around 5 hrs.

We got to Toronto, waited for about 30 minutes in the plane, went straight to border services, filled a few forms, showed our arrive can, boarding pass and passport and then we were directed towards immigration. The guy just came to us, asked us for passport, tuition receipt/enrolment verification, declaration form and admission letter. 10 minutes later, he called me, gave me back my documents and issued my study permit and gave me a paper to direct me on how to get my social insurance number, then that was all.

Checked in my luggage going to Newfoundland. It was still past 11 and my flight was for 9:30 pm so i just followed my Nigerian friends going to Vancouver to their boarding gate, gisted and saw them off at past 2. Then it was only me. This was draining. I then began to tour the airport and met a South Sudanese woman with whom I discussed the state of our countries and neo-colonialism. She's a Canadian citizen so she enlightened me a whole lot and when she realized i didnt have cash cause I was complaining on phone that i was hungry, she gave me 20 U.S dollars but the mumu me went to Italian to buy ham, bacon and coke. I forcefully finished it o.


Went to my boarding gate 2 hrs prior and saw a white guy. Moved closer to him and started a conversation. He was speaking fast so my accent also had to change. We discussed Trump, liberalism, Canada's plan towards development and economic expansion, American and Chinese trade wars and the beauty of data analytics in Insurance. A few minutes to board, we parted and he got to the plane first as per him seat be like first class.


I later got on the plane but when the plane paced around the runway, i think it began to have issues so the captain said we'd return to the gate and do a system refresh on the plane. It delayed for two hours. I sha know say after like five minutes wey plane move up, i don sleep. Before I know, e don remain 8 minutes to land. Landing was thrilling cause the journey from Lagos was long. I got to the NFL border, took my luggage, approached the border official, submitted my passport, travel declaration form and my GT atm card for indentification. She spoke her English and then freed me. I met my greeter and he put me in the cab but failed to tell the porter i was coming cause he was attending to two others.


The cabman dropped me and I knocked and knocked but nobody came through. I was just on a shirt. I languished in the cold, shouted for help but no one came through. I saw a car pass by and slowly approached the car and an Asian lady listened to me, asked me to wait and she called her supervisor. I ran across the road for like five minutes to limit the effect of the cold and then she drove towards me and gave me a number to call but that was when the other two guys came and the porter came around. I went in, called the greeter, fuckling blast him and he apologized. I was then shown my room and I checked in for isolation. I am in quarantine.
A mix of experiences you see?

Thanks for sharing. Wish you the best.

You right but sharing your profile exhaustively would help a lot. there some great minds here would pin point some error before the GCMS note corroborate every thing.

Do you mind sharing your profile ?
What program you went in for & list of documents submitted.
Thanks

hope4brym:
The length of PGWP you get is dependent on the length of your study, not the type of institution you studied in. If you study a 2-year program at a college, you still get a 3-year PGWP.

Greetings.
How about people with a 1 year study program.

I’m not a Visa Officer o, but I don’t think your statement of acct should be in ur SOP, SOP IS YOUR TRYING TO CONVINCE THE OFFICER THAT AFTER UR STUDY YOU WILL COME BACK, it’s to show ur academic research and goals, it’s to make the person have a mental picture of you by reading

I feel ur money shouldn’t be there!


Adjust that..... what I feel souls be there is “if ur sponsor is not ur dad or mum” explain the relationship and make it convincing that the person or company won’t sly you!

Ur money is okay!

Travel history - in not sure you can “plan to travel now” just write in a very convincing way that if you go you’ll come back!

E.G, I’m a journalist, going to study journalism, I highlighted how pained I am about the Nigerian system, How I have contributed my small quota to the journalism sector in Nigeria, and how I’m STill contributing, I explained how Nigeria is my first Nationality and no matter where I go, I’ll still keep telling African stories


LONG AND SHORT - DO LIKE SAY YOU LOVE THE COUNTRY!

Even if me and you don’t

Then since they have send u back once.... explain all those things the VO highlighted


Na my small 10 kobo be this!!

So you are a journalist. No doubt you cook those your stories well well. Hahaha.
Nice.

After about a year of pursuing my work permit, I am happy to announce that I finally have my passport in my hands.

It's been a nerve-racking journey. Unfortunately, I only found this group last month. I wish I have found it earlier because there is just too much valuable information here.

One thing I can do for those that will come after me is these:

1. If you need to pay for school fees and your card is not going, I can help you pay from next year
2. If you are coming to Toronto and need a place to stay for at most two weeks, I can accommodate you from the 26th of December this year
3. If you need a friend in Toronto to gist with, to cruise with and to have fun with, I will be available for you after my quarantine

I have benefitted a lot from this group and I will like to pay it forward.

If you are ever transiting through Toronto and need a place to crash, let me know. I am paying for a 1 bedroom + Den in Toronto after I leave quarantine and I will be glad to accommodate you as long as it is not more than two weeks.

I am travelling using Ethiopian Airlines on December 25th and I have already booked a whole apartment for quarantine. Anyone is free to stay with me during that 2 weeks.

It has ended in praise peeps.

Your generosity is much appreciated. Thanks for the beautiful tips.

topacs:
Just be clear with the word edit do u mean to forge figures?

Hahaha. Aaaah. This is sarcasm hère

Popoolam:
To anyone that wants to give up, I am begging you not to. Believe me, I can understand the mental torture these applications can give someone.

I am so thankful, I just received my PPR. It feels like I am just breathing well for the first time in months.

I also received the NSE letter, but I submitted only the my Bank statement certificate. In the case of the IELTS, I forwarded them a letter explaining how it was not possible for me to do the exam and get a result before the timeline and attached a waiver letter/mail from my DLI. Please note that this was just my case and I’m not declaring it as Avenue to bypass the IELTS requirement but it is an option in an extreme case.

I got my upfront medical uploaded in a few days by bombarding any and all international IRCC mails I could find. I did this as well as the option of waiting for them to pick my web forms

I want to thank you all for the relevant information. God bless you

Now, onto the passport submission phase.
I would really appreciate any and all information I can get on this. The only thing I know at this point is avoid Lagos vfs.

Congrats. Are you a first / second time applicant

Rootiab:
honestly I don't know why you guys keep saying when someone has 2.2 he can't get admission for master's. I know people who had 2.2 and with there experience and sop they got admission, rather you can say let him apply for both pgd and masters in different schools and see the outcome

Nice opinion but note this. The chances are very very slim to get a masters admission With that GPA. You might just waste that application fees.
The university wouldn’t deny. Just wait & see the outcome. “Sorry you didn’t meet our eligibility” & don’t qualify for the program.

adeenzo:

This morning, I went out briefly and I was about 15 minutes away from home. Suddenly the call just entered .

Ups man: Hello! I am the UPS delivery man I am in front of your house.
Me: Argh! I went out briefly can you please come to the location?
Ups man: Do you have your collection slip with you?
Me:which one is collection slip again? I sent everything together at once.
Ups man: If you don't have the collection slip, I can't deliver I am returning it.
Me: Baba, please give me 2 minutes, I will join you now now!!

Na so I carry Okada o sharperly. I got to my house I saw UPS bike I didn't see the rider. I just moved closed to the UPS bike and hold it as if na my papa get am.

Opposite my house they are selling akamu and akara. The man was there sipping his akamu and he sighted and just holla me.

Me: Madam, please give this man more 1000 naira akara and 1000 naira pap.
UPS man screamed aahaan Oga you wan kii me.
Me: Oga free free all bills on me. Madam please satisfy this man and no collect one naira from him o

Ups man: Bros I am okay, I have been waiting for you and thank you for the payment of my meal.

So, I took the man to one corner and educate him well that I sent all my documents through DHL, your company should even be thanking me that I didn't do 2-way bill. And there is nothing like collection slip.

He now said what do we do? He doesn't want to be queried at work.

Me: Baba what do you want me to do? I have been waiting for this thing since God knows when.
Ups man: Can you do a photocopy of the front page of your passport, after you have opened this parcel?
Me: Baba that one na smallest thing in this life, I will do 30 copies if you want

Photocopy center is very far from house but I don't mind. We got there, opened the stuff, I shown him the visa page, is this where you want baba? He said yes.

Generator of photocopier no gree start o. At the end Gen start we made copy of my visa page.

Baba said my digital photo is not showing. I said but that's the page you requested. Well no problem, I think you need my passport datapage?

Ups man said Yes, I'm very sorry.

That's how the datapage was done for him and I collected my parcel.

Na so the story goo

To God will always be the glory.

Thanks for making my day.

I am a living testimony to this. Although they are right that you should go for post graduate diploma but I went for ordinary diploma at NAIT and I have been working for 3 years now and I got approved yesterday... just a few tips
1. Make your SOP concise and straightforward, 1-2 pages should be okay
2. If possible pay your first year tuition
3. Build a good bank account.
4. Read more on this thread (I can’t emphasize this enough)
5. Fill your form righteously don’t hide anything.
6. Last but not the least be prayerful

Nice outlined here. I stand With you.
My sister had a BA and I went for a post secondary diploma & not probably a PGD, Tuition was quite high & no Tuition paid. Straightforward refusal. I discovered this after I had deposited & one time wanted to redraw the application but said let God take the wheel.


But to be save, let him/she go for a PGD so we don’t hear if I knew like me. Better fix now than after refusal.
One last thing don’t rush because you want to deposit, take your time.
