[Amen boss. Ire à kárí lágbára olorun. quote author=Jejelaye01 post=57076183]

Congrats. Many more trv to be released this month of June.[/quote]

I can't speak categorically about this cos there are several dependant variables. The program you're applying for and the departmental entry requirements are key. It is also popular knowledge that although not impossible it is difficult to get a masters admission with a second class lower from Canadian universities, I think the same applies to most programs in U of M. You can try University of Ottawa tho, seems like someone on this thread go an admit from them with a 2.2.

atiteb4:
do they accept second class lower in university of Manitoba?? ?

Lol. I wouldn't bet against that. I have a partial tuition waiver of about $5400, tuition fees is about $10200. Overall I would say was just God. Was already expecting the proof of exportable funds mail.

LightandDarkness:
Congrats, do you have funding. It seems there might be a new vo that graduated from Manitoba

Boss, nothing like that o, the statements of account I submitted were naira denominated. Sponsor had about 9.5m

AAOL:
Congrats bro. Its like that Accra VO woke up in a good mood today. Please were you sent the CBN mail as well. If No, Please how much was in you or your sponsor's statement of account?

I just wanna thank God and all the wonderful folks on this thread.

I remember seeing this particular post which says
'".. A thousand SoP will never be able to drive any relationship between Economics and Human Resources Mgt.
I've sounded this severally.... be careful about your choice of programs!!!...
These things may only work in places like UK but not Canada!!!.... Guys, choose rightly plsssssss!!!!!"

I am here to tell my story that the battle is not for the strong neither is the race for the swift but for the Lord that showeth mercy.
Using this to encourage someone on here that your case is different, and you can break protocols if you believe.

Baba, you sabi!

Mcowubaba:
Most Canadian Universities don't accept below a Second Class upper 2 1 for a Masters program.

But there are very few exceptions, some Universities (University of Alberta, University of Manitoba, University of Saskatchewan, memorial and Newfoundland University etc) accept a Second class lower, PROVIDED THE CGPA OF THE LAST TWO YEARS OF FULL-TIME STUDY is significantly high...

In percentage like over 75%
Or a CGPA of atleast 4.0/5.0 scale in your last two years of study.. I hope you know how to calculate that...

Just get your transcript or if you're very knowledgeable about your grade and units, you can do it.

For example if your course of study was for a duration of 4 years, remove year 1 and year 2, and just calculate your CGPA for year 3 and Year 4..

Also depending on the type of Masters program you're applying for, I'm sure you know about the 2..
(Thesis/Research based and Course/Taught based masters), in a Thesis based Masters, if you can get a Supervisor that is willing to Supervise you or even sponsor your program, my brother, you don hammer ..

A Supervisor can also recommend you to the admissions unit for admission, despite you not having 'Some' requirements..

But note, getting such a Supervisor is like getting an IMSU/Unilag girlfriend that can spend lots of money on you without complaining or cheating....
Or waiting for your crush to reply your lengthy love message with a good response not "K"

A taught based masters doesn't mostly need a supervisor prior admission, so you are left solely in the hands of the Admissions Unit...
There are many other things about this 2 types of Masters that you will still need to take into account, before you proceed....

Or you can simply apply for a PGD program, in a related course, look for a very related course. Try Niagara College, their admission decision timeline is quite fast..
Or try any other college like Seneca, Fanshawe, Centennial, Langara etc

Also Note that Most deadline for Fall (August/September) 2017 Masters program admission application has passed

Success Sir

Great job with the free flow of information guys, been a passive follower, wanna become active now tho.
Anybody here also expecting news from Uni. of Manitoba on March 15 as regards funding??

Exactly same as urs. 17th or 21st. Nothing different. Hopefully by 21st we hear from them.

Inyeneobong:
No I have not. The mail said 17th or 21st. By 21st, we would surely hear from them. I hope all this stress and suspense will end in praise for all of us. Did your mail say something different dapoddon?

You seem to know a lot bout Saro. You have any ideas bout remuneration?

SarahGee:
Congrats...the training will either be in Ibadan or Lagos but I am suspecting Ibadan tho. The trainees will be lodged in an hotel. There will be exam after every course so it's better one focuses well. Hope to see u soon.

Yeah, got the mail too. Uve heard anything new?

Inyeneobong:
I have heard from Saro. I got their mail this afternoon inviting me for a 3 days in house training. Who also received the mail here? Does anyone have an idea about what the in-house training entails? Will there be any examination after the training?

Nope, not at all. When I called HR about 2 weeks ago, was told they would get back in 2 weeks whether successful or not.
Please do well to let us know if they contact you. SarahGee as well.

Inyeneobong:
I haven't. Have you dapoddon? Do you know anyone who has?

Anybody heard from saro??

From Ikeja, board a bus to Maryland. From Maryland board another bus to Anthony. Alight at the Bus stop and walk forward, you'll see Jkk on your right after walking some distance.

handsomeclouds:

Safari29:
they have one of the best staff welfare-ism. i have worked there before as an ad-hoc staff.They were Associate Discount House, then got approval to be a merchant bank last year. believe me it is a very nice place to work. Better than most commercial banks by far, even salary-wise. Also, they recruit based on merit, if u pass the interview then congrats. if i have opportunity to work there again, i wont think twice

Wish I did my man. Also looking out for help. I have been to their Head office though, that's why I am so sure bout their genuinness. If u have any help on the test, please let the house be informed. Thanks.

Db55889:
