Currently doing a one year master program in new Brunswick, canada. Which means I will only get a one year work permit, what else can I do to stay back.

Due to essential purpose being the one of the reasons why one can be granted entrance into Canada. How can I show paper works that internet provided by service providers in Nigeria won't be efficient to study online here in Nigeria.

wizzywatever:
Yes you can.

Which bank here in Nigeria will one be able to access in Canada

If one is in Canada, will one be able to withdraw from a domiciliary account created here in Nigeria

I am looking to rent an apartment in Frediction, New Brunswick...I am an international student.How can I go about making sure I don't make a wrong choice in the process.

congrats bro,currently schools only do online classes, try get in touch with your school

I'm just wondering if I would be able to do the online class in Canada instead of in Nigeria.

My Visa was issued before March 2020, does that mean I can still go to Canada for my fall session

I have obtained masters admission and thinking of accomodation. Which is better? To live on campus or rent an apartment outside campus.

Is the Canadian Embassy still working during this period of covid 19.Can I still apply for student Visa during this period or do I wait. Admission is for September 2020.

Hi good afternoon,post secondary or graduate? Just put all in a pdf file and send to them

Send to who? Seneca or WES....I am applying for graduate certifcate program

Seneca and centennial college on their website say that the transcript has to be sent to WES for evaluation, I want to know if this compluslory, Has anyone applied to the school with nigeria transcript and got an offer....

Hello Deveid,

Prior to the completion of your Graduate Certificate (often referred to as PGD/C) you can then go for a Master on the grounds that you already possess a first degree.

All the best.

Thanks, but the reason for going for Graduate certificate now is because of the low cgpa of 2.8/5. And most school say you must possess a 3.00/4.33 in a degree program and not a certificate program.

JustMellow:
Hello Deveid,

Its a good move.

All the best.

Please How is it good.Can I use a Graduate certificate program to apply for masters or pgd.

Is Graduate certificate program in Canada a good thing having a low CGPA in Nigeria

I have a 2.89 CGPA in a BA English degree. Does it make sense to do Ontario Graduate college certificate in Canada.?

what's the equivalent of PGD in Canada

I have a bsc in English here in Nigeria but with a low cgpa of 2.8. It seems I can't do masters with this CGPA in Canada. I think I do PGD, which course/university can I go for

dekere:
Please don't attempt that you will be returned on arrival.

If I am in you shoes after considering all cons and pros I have to pick admission in another school that is ready to start earlier than Sept and transfer from your previous school to another one because No one knows what the immigration rules will turn out to be.

All the best.

I don't have admission is any other school or do you know any other school that I can apply to that's resuming before September and offers a MSC in computer science or any other MSC in the field of IT?

I recently got my passport stamped but the school resumes September 2020, is it possible to go to Canada around February and while away time.

Visa is issued, and has been sent to vfs Abuja, do I have to pay money to collect my Visa even after i still did biometric in Abuja office. I submitted my passport for stamping the same place I didn't biometric, and they're asking for 15k to collect passport, is that how it's done....just want to be sure

zamony:
When did you apply? Congratulations to you

I applied August

I have been asked to submit my passport, my passport expires Jun 2021 but the duration of my course is from September 2020 to September 2021.....Should I submit my passport like that knowing it expires Jun 2021.

how does anyone suggest this be handled?

I submitted a letter for sepetember 2020 to embassy for school A and now school B has given me admission for January 2020 session. Is it possible to send the new letter from school B(january 2020 session) to the embassy?

JustMellow:
Upon the issuance of the visa, as long as its valid, you can facilitate your entry to Canada where at the port of entry your study permit will be issued to suit your admission intake.

So, for as long as you have a valid visa and a new admission letter, you can easily change your program intake by updating the new admissions letter in your gckey online account.

Good luck!

Thanks. I understand but what I'm trying to avoid is after submitting this updated letter for September 2020 now won't the embassy issue a Visa that's valid beginning for june 2020 and if that happens and another school gives me admission for January 2020 then the admission for January 2020 would've been a waste then.

Vesment:
i am not sure your visa will come before april or may. i think i have read a case where someone submitted new LOA and he was given visa by June the next year

And if the Visa comes by June the next year (2020) and I then get a new admission letter from another school for January 2020 then applying to another school would've been a waste then.

Why try to stress yourself. You can submit the new updated admission letter for September 2020 and during the wait for a decision from the embassy, you can apply to other schools for possible January 2020 intake.

But won't the embassy issue a Visa that's valid for September 2020. And when they do it would not mean anything even if I get a school that resumes January

I have done the medicals requested by the embassy. But the admission letter I submitted was for fall 2019 but now the embassy said is asking for a new admission letter dated at least January 2020 upwards. The school has given me an updated admission for September 2020 but I am looking to apply to another program ('Msc computer science )which will resume January 2020.

1. If I get another school which will resume January will the embassy accept the new admission letter from a different school?

2. Does anyone know any MSC computer science program still open for application to resume January 2020

Naijaforeigner:
Yes if your visa is still valid till September 2020. Your visa is just for entry and exit. Your study permit will be issued to you at POE and it will start from the day you arrive Canada. Just make sure your visa is still valid.

Assuming its valid till September 2020 and I go September 2020, it would expire at that September but the program is 2 years and which means it would have expired at the point of my end of program. How do I make that work considering you said it must be valid at the point of exit also.

Owoch:
Finally got my visa but a bit late to resume school. No January intake for my course which means next year September is the next intake.
Frankrobbn1 you once told me it's possible to change school once you get to canada, is it possible to change it right here in Nigeria so I can find a school with January intake.

Is it possible to get a Visa now and then use it for September 2020 session? The school has resumed already also but there's visa
