Greetings house!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to this trend. Your positive advices, remarkable suggestions and all. May God almighty answer your secret prayers.

I graduated with a 3.01 GPA in civil engineering. 2018. According to the reviews I've been following here considering a masters degree will an be unrealistic move but I'm rather opting for PGD or GD in an affordable colleges or universities particularly in the following area with a 2 years degree.

Project management
Building construction
Construction project management
Or interior design.

And also I need your advice too. Do you think the job prospects in this field of study has a promising future if one eventually get job there.

My main aim is to get graduate, get a good job and settle permanently.��
Thank you.

Story;
Admission was gotten thru an agent, long story. We Nigerians just lyk easy way out. Anyways, it got to d point of paying deposit and d agent started saying she will confirm from d sch d acct no and get back to me. 3 days later, no response. I switched off my mumu button and followed d steps thru d sch website and paid thru flywire(d agent now refers their clients to me for assistance). There and then, we decided I was gonna apply for d visa myself.
It was like all indices where against me. BSc industrial design with specialization in glass technology ( an unfamiliar course wt little or no avenue for progression) wt a 4.5 cgpa. Switch to MBA (uk sch, Malaysia campus, and finished wt a merit). Now applied for a pgd Global business management instead of a master's or PhD. My designation at work is Planning officer. I'm sure u now see how disjointed my history is. Mind u, I have a 6 yr gap btw finishing secondary sch(all A's) and d uni, (studied medicine for 5yrs but didn't finish so I didn't include it so I don't further complicate my issue). I knew I had alota work to do wt my SOP. It took me 2 weeks to finish writing it, wt input from my hubby and bro in-law who both love essay writing. I linked d glass tech wt business and my present work schedule. Explained how even though it's a pgd, it has courses wc where not present in d MBA. I took each of d courses and explained wat gap it's gonna fill and how it's important to d aim I hv of starting glass production from rice husk. (Ample raw material in nijja, new method wt plenty intricacies, etc).
Wen I saw wat ppl upload, and how straight line their academic progressions where, and d rate of rejection, I almost gave up. Hubby kept asking me for plan B. But I kept hope alive and continued praying for d best, and d efforts I put in d whole process not to go to waste. U read everything irrespective of how lengthy or how far back it was written. D day medical request came, I called hubby 1st cause I could not open d mail immediately. He said, just pray and open it, d decision has been made irrespective of wen u open d mail. Lo and behold it was medicals, I was smiling all thru, my colleagues kept wondering why I was extra smiley (I always hv a smile on even wen angry). I went for medicals and BP was 160/110 @ 1st. Did some breathing exercises and calming techniques but it was still above d 140/80 recommend by IRCC. I became very worried wen I researched abt high BP in medicals and found mixed responses. I saw CIC guidelines for physicians and saw dt d physician shld write a B on d form if any high BP found. This got me all worked up again and dt weekend became extra long but alas, it all worked out well.
In essence, all I'm trying to show is that we shld just do our best and leave no stone unturned wen applying. Try to answer all d rejection reasons given by VO as much as u can. I was told my best bet was to omit my MBA but even if I do, my undergraduate degree can get me a master's, and then I wouldn't hv been able to show travel history for study purpose and not violating immigration laws.
Be as truthful as possible. No two applications and d same especially since there r different VOs.
Above all, everything is ultimately in God's hands.
It shall end in praise

Sorry about ur refusal bro
1.Is this ur 1st time or re-application
2. When did ur BVL drop before this refusal
3. Did u do Upfront medicals, if yes, when was it passed?

You can order for ur GCMS note to know the actual reasons why ur application was refused.. Peace

Jus4c:


Thanks. I am actually in a city in the USA very close to Canada. I am considering continuing my studies in Canada due to ease of immigration after studies: H1-B Visa sponsorship is getting more difficult to come by these days . Getting a Canadian visitor visa from the USA here is very easy.

Jus4c:


Thanks for your response. How feasible is it to apply for a study permit while inside Canada? I mean for an individual who already has a visitor visa to Canada, later applied and got admitted to a university in Canada.

bennyg24:
see as this thread just quiet!
chai! Canada just they dull people with refusals
I remember when I joined this thread in 2018, it wasn't like this

makano:
Hello, what is the essence of posting ur picture here? Is it that you dont know how to post on nairaland or is it that you are a fashion designer advertising ur attire, if its the latter, then I assume Fashion designers have their own forum on nairaland, cos personally I see no reason for posting ur personal pix here, cos it does not in any way relate to this thread. Not that u even took it in Canada to show us around.. Please be guided.. Peace

Molly90:
Good day Nairalanders , this is my first time dropping a message here but I have always been on the background reading. I appreciate everyone contributing here for the knowledge shared.

My question is to those currently in Conestoga College or recently applied to the school or have knowledge of the application system of the school. I will like to know if it's compulsory to send my Nigerian transcript first to WES or the other body for evaluation before applying on the Ontario College application centre OR can I upload my official transcript in its original form directly?

I will appreciate your kind response. Thank you in anticipation.

Sakasakas:
Reasons for refusal is exactly as @phatkings

Well in a way, I strongly have a feeling they barely attended to my application and a decision was made ahead regardless of what I presented. That's scandalous but one is powerless and that is quite discouraging to attempt making another application.

EDUCATIONAL Docs
Full Transcripts (I have 2:1, Computer Sc, going for Information Security (Masters))
BSc certificate
NYSC
O Level

Family Docs
( I am married with 2 kids, oldest is 2, youngest is not yet one) They are not accompanying me.
My marriage certificate
My wife birth certificate
My daughter birth certificate
My son birth certificate

Office Docs
My salary is not huge (normal civil service package) but in a very stable career. Good career progression professionally too (I work in the ICT Dept) and I am given full study leave with pay of all entitlements (salary and other little allowances) while I am studying.

Letter of Introduction from my agency Director General Office
Letter of Study Leave WITH PAY
Letter of Promotion
Appointment Letter
Admission Consent Approval Letter (mandatory to inform my agency you want to further your education and approval be given)
Confirmation of Appointment
3months payslips
Previous job appointment letter
Etc

Sponsor
Sponsor is my brother (Citizen of a top European country)
His birth certificate to show we share parents
His letter of commitment (he sponsored me thru the uni.)

His Treasury bills details rolling over monthly (over 20million NGN)
His 5 months payslip
His statement of account where he lives

Canada Docs
Letter of admission

Other mandatory Documents and some other ones too.
What else could I have done differently?
My SOP was decent.
My resumption is January for the Masters program.

Sorry for the typos, mostly on nairaland hurriedly. Typing in way to work now. I appreciate what you guys are doing. Thanks big.

I will check back later in the evening or during the day if time permits. God bless.
