you are just trying to discourage that young man
Which one is 30M?
Bros abeg!!

Jeffrey12:
leave that guy. He has never processed visa before. There are universities in Canada that accept as low as 3700 Canadian dollar per year(about 1.2m) and even cheaper seff. It’s not as if the guy will just study. He’s also allowed to work 20hrs per week.

She was never determined to be a bomber, make she park well.. Who ibiyomie help??
After his sermon did he create jobs for those boys to get employed??

By the way, who no be thief for this country? Even the pastors find a suitable Bible passage to twist the minds of their gullible followers who end up paying tithes/first fruits, etc, and that’s also Yahoo.

Yahoo no be only when person use laptop.

Teemenzo:


False in what sense, is 24 outside the age bracket i metioned. All these you have mentioned works for only those in canada. And the candidate in question is 19 and only has a two year diploma certificate without any canadian work experience. Mind you the work experience needed has to be with a company that has LMIA.

So where have i gone wrong? Me i don't understand you people sha.

Good morning peeps, happy Sunday to us all!
I am a prospective PhD applicant and looking at studying in Canada. Though I already completed a course based research prog in Nigeria with cpga of 4.53 but presently I am undergoing a masters by research program in South Africa to conclude this year.

I will like to know if I can apply to Canadian schools now while my prog is still ongoing in South Africa?

Also A friend told me Canadian schools don’t consider PhD for international students except I enrol for masters. How true is this my people?

I really want to tap into this opportunity this year.

Teemenzo:


PR application is best for someone around 24 to 35 as the person could attain the highest score. That you studied any type of course and have any type of degree does not guarantee PR. Diploma has no chance at all as its course is low.

Search google for CRS calculator and do an eligibility test. You will understand better

Hello Wasky

To enter Canada is difficult quiet alright, but once you enter Canada, then the rest is history..

In fact within your few months in Canada, you won't remember you waited so long to actually get the Visa.

My story
I got my admission into Conestoga College to study Construction management with coop (2 years program) Admitted for fall 2021. I deferred almost immediately to winter 2022 so as to enable me have enough time for researching on how best to submit a nice application (i have later realised that the success of this journey is in no way by my power, it's been Grace)

Prior to applying to Conestoga, I had gotten admission into Carleton uni for meng prog in civil Engr. I also had $25k loan from MPOWER financing for my offer at Carleton.

I was about preparing my visa doc when I stumbled on some posts on Nairaland emphasizing on coop opportunities. Since my offer at Carleton did not provide coop, I opted for Conestoga. This choice was also at the expense of losing the loan from MPOWER as they do not offer loan for pgd/pgc programs.

As a self sponsor, Frankrobbn advised that it's best to show pof of the total duration of study as against showing pof for first year only. Tuition is approximately 18kcad per year (36kcad for 2 years) + 20kcad for living expense for 2 years. Frankrobbn insisted that I show a pof greater than 56kcad for total duration of study.

This seemed impossible but God in his infinite mercy provided assistance as well as the wisdom to solve the challenge. Myself and Frankrobbn brainstormed on how best to tell a convincing story to the visa officer as follows;

I theoretically expanded my dads computer engineering firm to include a construction arm. Since this will not reflect in the cac document, I had to do some serious explanation in my sop. I deliberately did this to help strengthen my home tie further claiming that id return to fully manage the biz (just as most of us applicants would always say ). I then compelled/convinced/forced/pressured/begged my dad to send me some money monthly (salary simulation) for 6 months (from Jan to June). Not that he was financially buoyant enough, God did His thing.

Employment
1. Project director at my fathers company (part time) - Gof tech Ltd

2. Construction sales engineer at a multinational company (full time) - Mbcc ltd

education
BTech in civil engineering 2016.
_Note that I was almost about to complete a masters in civil engineering at Uni of Ibadan, but I did not disclose this in my application._

_I also ensured that my Linkedin account as well as other relevant social media profile maintained these stories._

Special appreciation
First and foremost to God and my parents. My dad used to pray only on crossover night. The intensity of his prayers increased when I applied for my visa. My mum, she loves prayers more than her husband.

Frankrobbn. Really, I can't stress how good he is, especially when it comes to telling stories and brainstorming ideas to convince the visa officer. Yes I paid for his service, I was more than willing to - considering the high number of success rates and testimonies shared all around by several applicants who have employed his service.

Other particular gurus on NL such as Ralphudoh, Chocs, Justmellow and Lekiboboe(now canadaboboe ). These gurus helped in answering my tonnes of questions.

My bosses at work were so understanding and helpful. It's a peaceful feeling to have non toxic employers.

My friends Aminat (now at Cornell uni, New York), Mujib (uni of Toronto), Mubarak (uni of Alberta). These 3 idiotic geniuses helped me a lot on my SOP with corrections & proofreading's.

Lessons learnt in this journey
1. A cheerful giver will never lack. Showing good deeds has it's way of coming back to bless the giver in multiple folds.
2. Be hungry for knowledge, do a lot of research (homework). Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
3. Having and developing a cycle of good friends have a powerful impact on ones intellect, financial and physical health.
4. God factor can never be overemphasized.

To all PPR hopefuls, God will grant you all your heart desires. To all approved applicants, may we all excel globally.

ClixMaster:
Hello guys,
Though it has been 5 years since I rounded up my NYSC, and ever since then I have been hustling.

I want to further my studies abroad and I would like to know if I can be able to secure an admission for Masters degree with my HND(Upper Credit) result directly without PGD?

Maypearl:


Thanks David,

It’s sad the Canadian visa process is so discouraging.

But I’ll have to take your points into consideration. Thank you once again.

Maypearl:
Hello everyone,

I got 4 admission offers for Master programs starting in January 2022. I am only interested in two of the offers; one from London met university in the UK and another from Ryerson university in Canada. I am more interested in the offer from the Canadian university because I prefer the curriculum there but I’m a bit reluctant because of the Canadian visa process. I am 99% sure I’ll get a student visa for the London school but I really prefer the Canadian due to its curriculum and opportunity of a PR. I can’t accept both offers because I’d have to pay a deposit to receive my acceptance letters which I need for my visa applications. So I am here to ask for you guys opinions.

I will advice if you are young let's say less than 27 years,go to London metropolitan university, you can work for two years after study and subsequently apply for Canada PR. Furthermore, you have a sister there who can guild you towards getting a sponsorship visa. Architectural related jobs are in the work shortage list.

Should I take the risk and go for the Canadian visa or I should go for the London admission. Here is my details:

It boils than to age as I said above if you don't have age on your side go to Canada you'll become a PR in 3 to 4 years. What I detest about Canadian student visa process, its not the delay but how long it takes to get the delay. Waiting for 5 months just to get delayed is heartbreaking.

Education: Bsc Architecture 4.04 cgpa

Academic IELTS score: overall band score of 8, Listening - 9, reading - 8, writing - 7, speaking - 7.5

You have a good CGPA, as a graduate architect my self I envy you, you don't need IELTS for both country Visa's with C6 in English in WAEC you are good to go

Finance: I have little to nothing personal savings compared to what needs to be in my account. I would be sponsored by my sister (blood sister) she resides in London and is a manager in one of the big 4 auditing companies. Her savings is way more than enough for my tuitions and living expenses. So my sponsor is more than capable.

For Canadian study visa it does not matter how much you have in you account. Just show your personal SOA for UK tier 4 visa you must have total tuition and about £9207 for upkeep for 28 days in your account

Employment: I have been employed since I graduated in 2016, but they’ve all been on contracts, no official employment letter, no contract documents, but from my bank statements you can see transfers of money over the years with remarks of professional building fees, payment of building materials etc (I design and build houses). I don’t know if this is enough as proof of employment.

For Canadian visa process this may be a problem, you can't use job as home ties, since their is no employment letter or documents showing you are employed. But since you said you design and build on contract basis get a CAC certificate.

Ties to Nigeria: I am not married, but my two younger brothers (who are 21 and 19 years old) have been living with me for 2 years, I take care of them and I am their legal guardian on their school documents (because they live with me not my mum, the school consider them my wards and put my name as their parents/guardian) I have bank statements proofing I pay their school fees as well, is this enough to consider them as my dependents?

I don't think you can use them as home tie they are not underage I.e less than 18, VO will believe with or without you they should be able to fend for themselves. Most times this guys use their system to judge us, in developed countries an 18 years old is already working. If you have land, building or you are a strong member of an organization whether religious or social. You can use those as home ties.

Finally my master program is not in architecture but in digital media design management. It is related to my course because I would be specialising on human oriented design and visual and augmented reality production which most digital architects are opting to study. But I don’t know if the visa officials will understand the connection.

I don't think this is a problem as far as you can write a convincing SOP that highlights how you job experience relates to your study, you are good to go.

Thank you in advance to all responses.
