EducationRe: 2020 PTDF Overseas Scholarship In France, Germany, China And Malaysia by dives(m): 11:54am On Mar 09, 2020
Do you mind if I message you on whatsapp. Perhaps we could exchange ideas. Thank you.
Anfieldboss:
My brother, we are in the same boat. The information I have about the scholarship, I got it from previous threads on nairaland. As per preparations, I think what we need to do is master our research proposals very well and do our best to convince the interviewers why our research is worth PTDF funding.

Oh i see, thank you. That's relieving. You seem to know about this application and interview, can you give some tjps for what a PhD candidate should expect? Thanks once again

Anfieldboss:
There are no awards this year, otherwise you would have uploaded it during application and you would have been asked to come with it to the interview in your invitation mail.

Hello house. I used to be a Chevron scholar while I was an undergraduate, which is a long time ago. Like 9 years ago. We were issued an award letter when shortlisted but I can't find mine. I think I have misplaced it. Any advice on how I can prove that I was a scholar to PTDF on the interview day?

Hello Newmum0615, compliments of the season. How did you go about this? I am in the exact same situation, were you issued the passport on his behalf? What documents did you need to take along?
Newmum0615:
Hi everyone,

My dad's application was approved today. Applied on the 15th of October, Biometrics done 23rd October. Biometrics Validity letter update 19th of Dec (don't understand the purpose of this letter), Passport request letter received 20th Dec. I thank God. It was silence all through, and they stuck to the 64 days timeline. E be like say dem remain say Christmas na next week and they rushed it out.

So, for those that have used VFS Lagos, I know that someone can submit the passport for him, but can someone collect on his behalf. He is not in Lagos and I don't want him spending flight money to go and collect the passport. The VFS site states that someone can collect for him but I have heard from people that they don't allow it. Can someone with experience confirm please? Also, where can I download the VFS Consent form? I can't find it anywhere on their site.

Thanks.

EducationRe: My Mum Is Making Me Depressed With What She Said To Me by dives(m): 4:01pm On Nov 13, 2019
Never, I repeat, never ever compare yourself with someone else. We all have different paths in Life. Comparing your self with others will not help you see how much God has blessed you in a way unique to only you. Just believe in yourself, always stay around people who bring out the positive side in you, have a lazer like focus and be the best at what you do. Also, you can apply for state busaries and scholarships that would be usueful in helping you through school. There are several of them. FGN, MTN, Shell, Total. Just google Undergraduate Scholarships in Nigeria. I hope this helps. And cheers to a bright future.

embarassed embarassed I'm writing this post with a heavy heart

So I'm 21 and I finished secondary school at age 17 (2015) and to be honest I just got admission this year to study pharmacy while my mates are in their final year and it hurts alot because my mum keeps telling me that my cousin is in final year and is about serving next year and I'm just gaining admission to a university, she even uses her friend's child as an example and it made me go into a Little depression, I actually felt sad because for the first time a comparison actually hit me...

She claims they (my parents)are supposed to be resting and not paying school fee. That I'm stressing them and ever since I was a teenager I always vowed that I wanted to leave my father house before 25yrs of age

Now I'm studying a 5 years course (7 years to become a full graduate) and by then I'll be 28 I actually feel ashamed because this isn't what I wanted since I left secondary school
I wanted to finish on time and remove the burden from them

I've never failed jamb, my least Score was 245 but circumstances kept dragging me back

I finished my ND program in 2017 (Distinction in SLT Yabatech)

So it feels more like I'm parambulating up and down and don't know what I want for my self but I actually do!!

I need an advice or something to make me feel better or confident about my self sad

EducationRe: Is A 2.2 A Bad Grade For A Graduate? by dives(m): 4:02pm On Oct 13, 2019
That's a wonderful course. You may try Germany or Georgia State Uni in the US. As a Geophysicist, I am sure you would want to work in an O and G firm so make sure you aim for a very top notch uni like Imperial College like a poster up there posted. Apply to PTDF OSS and then go to Imperial. All the best bro.

Good to hear this.. Would have loved to apply but there's no fund. Sir, do you know of any reputable school abroad that gives scholarship to second class lower graduate? I'm a 2:2 (3.2) graduate of Applied Geophysics.

URGENT!!!

Please I got an ADR today to provide proof of bank statements and pay slips for the entire period I worked in a Company however, I was paid cash throughout my stay at that company. When applying I uploaded the pay slips for the first and last month I worked in the company together with my reference letter. Would only the pay slips for the rest of the months, spanning all through my stay suffice as supporting docs? How else can I proof this to CIC?

Good morning guys.
Please I have an urgent issue to clarify.

I’m having date of birth discrepancy in my First degree, and it might be impossible to rectify, should I remove it from my WES profile, and stick to evaluating my masters.

If yes, when evaluating my masters with WES, will there be any mention of the first degree or anything relating to it.
You could swear an affidavit.

Thanks a lot joo

I believe LOEs should be adequate in both cases. In this scenario, you may also add the stamped visa pages of your passport when uploading your passport biodata page.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by dives(m): 4:46pm On Jan 03, 2019
Hello Guys, I have two issues

Firstly, I have an overlap of the date I put as my day of completion of my second degree, and my date of travel; I travelled at some point "äfter" my second degree. This is exactly what happened. I finished my second degree - lectures, exams and all - in March of 2017, but results were not approved until November of 2017 and my certificate says Nov 2017 so I put November 2017 as the day I completed my second degree. Unfortunately, along the line, June 2017 to be precise, I travelled out so my passport has a stamp of June 2017. Now I am trying to reconcile my personal history and there is this overlap. Do you guys think a LOE is enough to clarify this?

Secondly, my date of travel is June 2017, but I accidently filled July pre-ITA so I have correctly filled June in my post-ITA form. Is a LOE also enough to clarify this?

Thanks guys.

1. No hard and fast rule. I'm sure some did as you have done. Some will put employment. Employer: NYSC.

2. After you are done.

3. Don't over-think it. I don't think it matters. I will pick the exit.

4. Search the thread.
Thanks a lot Joo2018.

Can I go back to edit the form after I have gotten to the uploading documents stage?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by dives(m): 2:04pm On Dec 22, 2018
Hello guys. Seasons greetings!!

Please I have the following questions.

1. When completing the personal activities section what did you guys fill for the one month period in which we were in NYSC camp? I am leaving it as

Activity type -unemployed
Since - March of that year to March of the same year
What I was doing - undergoing paramilitary training
Name of Employer, school facility- National youth
service orientation Camp.

How did you guys fill yours?

2. I can't see where I am to upload supporting documents or the document checklist. Is it when I am done filling all the details of the form that it takes me to the option of uploading documents?

3. For travel history, where it was asked from when to when, if i want to fill the "to" period, is it the date that was stamped by the country in question as the date I left that country, or is it the date of arrival stamped by Nigerian immigration?

4. Please Is there any group for post ITA peeps?

Thanks guys!!

Hello Fam,

I have a police certificate from Brazil which is usually generated on Brazillian police website when one inputs his details. My passport no is A07...... but when their system generates this, it adds two more zeros after the A giving me A0007.... instead of A07. The Police report is in Portuguese so I have to translate it to English. I would have loved to ask the translators to correcr this, but the translators need to certify that every informationin in the Portuguese version is exactly the same as the English version. How do i go about this please?


Secondly, my POF is my savings which has been above the minimum 12,375 for well over 9 months now, but I do transfer to my other account from time to time. I hope this would not be a regarded as bulk sum since my account has been over 12375 for over 9 months and above the 6 months required?

Please pardon any errors

Hello guys, please can someone recommend a certified translator for me? I want to translate my police report from Portuguese to English.

Also, does one need to add any additional documents to the reference letter? Like pay slips or the likes?

Does a reference letter have an expiration period such that it becomes invalid after a certain period of time?

Thanks guys

I missed a letter in my name while creating my profile on WES and my ECA report carries this error. I hear an affidavit can suffice for minor errors but please confirm.

Oh! She has her ECA already? She should contact her school for the correction and send it to WES to effect the change.

Dont think its as expensive as 46k but if u're sure u did better than ur score suggests, then call for a remark. And if u get a better score after the remark, then u get refunded ur money anyways.

Its all up to you!
Hmmmm...if you were me would you call for a remark?

EducationRe: IELTS: Share Your Experience, Ask Your Questions, Tell Us Your Score If You Can. by dives(m):

Really?? 46k?? I thought the cost for Standard IELTS remark is NGN15,000 payable by Banker's draft or other appropriate means. My friend ask for remark and paid N15k. Anyway, it won't be a bad idea for you to do same. You will be refunded if your band score changes for any of the 4 sections.
However, for most people that has gone that route including my friend, it was specifically the speaking and writing they requested for. My friends got more score from those after the remark and was refunded. Just like you rightly mention, Listening and Reading are multi-choice answer type with marking scheme. The former are as deem alright by the examiner. You may give it a try, perharps, it might be no-of-count mistake smiley
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, for British Council it costs 15k. I took mine with MOD IELTS and remarking with them costs 46k.
EducationRe: IELTS: Share Your Experience, Ask Your Questions, Tell Us Your Score If You Can. by dives(m):
Hello guys. I wrote ielts the first time and i had a L-7.5, R- 8. S- 6.5 and W-7. Unfortunately i need an 8 in listening and 7 in other sections so i wrote again amd now i had
L- 8
W - 8.5
R - 6.5
S- 7.5

I am quite worried with the reading knowing that I had an 8 the first time I wrote it and OBJ questions are usually not a problem for me.

Now the issue is i want to request for an Enquiry on result and it would cost me 46k. I am ready to give it a shot because i am quite positive I did better than that but I am also having second thoughts because this is an OBJ section so it may be unlikey there was an error. The L and R section na pass or fail unlike the W and S where opinions may differ. Abeg how una take see this matter?

is it worth requesting this EOR?

Are there any chances my score will change knowing that this section i need an EOR on is OBJ? Does anyone know someone who has had a similar experience before?

Please share your thoughts. (Please pardon the typos)Thanks guys.
