...greetings
To answer your questions:
1- what scale for CGPA(i am guessing 3.6/5.0).
For Admission it actually depends on the School and Course. Some Schools accept 70% into a masters program for last two sessions of Bsc(that would be 3.5/5.0.....but some require higher line 80% or 85%)...
So browsing the Schools requirements is key.
If it doesn't look good then he should take the Graduate Certificate path.

2- Yes they do get Visa Approvals

3- You might wanna look into Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) and Humber College...

Kindly look out for the Gurus input on these.
Cheers!

Thank you very much. MUN has MENG and graduate diploma. I don’t know if I should go ahead with graduate diploma application since it’s a graduate program. I don’t need know if it belongs to the category of diplomas that VO don’t give approval for.

I’ll check Humber college.

Good morning from Nigeria.
You don’t have to stress yourself for a grown man, simply tell him to join this thread and read from the beginning. I’m certain that if he is serious about it, he will answer all your questions with ease. I wish him all the best.

Thank you. I’ll ask him to read the thread. Since fees will be on me I’m just doing my part to ensure he gets into a relatively cheap school too.

1. Most likely graduate certificate
3. Most schools in Canada are competitive with the increase in international applicants, but you can check Memorial university of Newfoundland, university of Windsor, British Columbia Institute of technology (BCIT). check their admission requirements very well.

Thank you. Most relevant engineering courses I saw in these universities are advanced diploma. I don’t know if it’s different from diploma (the one that visa officers hardly approve visa for) �

Hi guys,

Good morning.

Please I have a couple of questions.

I am currently living in Canada as a PR and I intend to apply for a post graduate program for my brother. He graduated with Second Class, Lower Division (CGPA of 2.8 ) from Mechanical Engineering, but his last 2 years CGPA was 3.6 (I heard it matters).


1. Please guys I intend to apply for MEng or Graduate certificate program for him. Which one is he likely to be accepted in considering his CGPA.

2. Also, all things being equal, do people going for graduate certificate program usually get visa approval?


3. Please if you could also give me suggestions on schools that are less competitive, that he will likely be accepted into without too much hassle, I would be overjoyed.

I am glad to answer any question in regards to Express Entry.

Thank you so very much.

hi guys, I am getting worried. I haven't gotten any information as to the status of my application in University of New Brunswick. Isn't it getting late, considering the visa processing time.

I have already started contacting supervisors for January Admission in other schools. Please who is in the same shoes as mine and what are you doing about it?

If you can explain with a good SOP then the VO might consider you. Btw I know it's quite difficult to get PhD admission with one year masters degree, however I would also advice you to spend more time developing yourself, try and partner with a professor in Nigeria to get a paper published. Read more about researchers in your chosen field before contacting them. I don't think one year masters is a problem, if you have a good research record you stand a chance of getting PhD offer.
All the best bro.

Thanks alot. Yes I've a back up plan of taking up a lecturing job in my undergrad university after my NYSC. But I still pray the Canadian stuff works out.

Thanks a lot. I'm a sis though

Good morning guys,

I have applied for my second masters in Applied Heath Services Research in University of New Brunswick. I had my first masters in forensic psychology and I did my undergraduate in Psychology.

The problems are:
1) I haven't heard from the univeristy as to the outcome of my application.
2) will doing a second masters raise a red fly? (I mean in terms of visa application, if I happen to get the admission by the grace of God)
Note: I applied for a second masters because my first masters was just for one year, and some schools I applied for a PhD rejected me, because they didn't consider my one year masters deeply research-intensive.
Why Applied Heath Services Research? You may ask. , I have been doing some voluntary work (through my NYSC CDS group) in a health related sector, so I developed interest and decided to apply for the course. Also I feel it's related to psychology somehow I mean, psychology deals with human behaviour and mental health, then health services research deals with an interdisciplinary approach to healthcare, mental health and community health. Ok I'm talking too much.

I got my visa yesterday and I will be going to London tomorrow . But my prolem is where to buy pounds. I went to my bank and they said they have stopped selling and they stopped PTA as well. pls someone advice me on what to do Cox black market is quite expensive

@justwise, pls my application was tracked and i was told its still waiting to be assessed by the entry clearance officer. pls what does that mean

I'm planning on travelling on the 21st of this month. is that still feasible depending on the level my visa application is in.

Did you use the priority se8rvice?

that's the mistake I made. I didn't

Oma12:



Maybe their system has issues. I haven't got an update since Friday and I did the interview on Wednesday (through priority).

ok. I guess it's due to the rush

Oma12:


When did you apply?

I applied on the 26th of august and got an appointment on the 1st of September.
Have even gotten a mail from Sheffield stating my application is with them

OtseD:


After youur online application you are required to register on tlscontact website. So you login on the website and click on track application and you see the various steps your application will go throught and where it is at the moment.

I have done that. But they keep taking me back to the Home page

Please how to you track your visa application.
Pls someone that knows should answer

ebakwest:


They can't deny you visa as 21st is JUST the course starting date. processing time without priority is usually 15 to 20 days max so you're definitely on track. sit back, relax and don't freak out. Good luck.

thanks alot dear.
