Please be careful with credit card info oOoO.
I have paid for someone before with my Nigerian debit card. You can even do a funds transfer to the school with the help of your bank.
The risk is too much should your credit card info be compromised. Beware of online Fraud. The reply you got could have been a man-in-the-middle attack. Prevention is better, safer and much more convenient than cure in my own view.

If u hv relevant work experience(s) you need to include your cv, letter of intent, 2or 3 reference letter from ur formal school lectures/supervisor/professor.....etc

This must be the fastest moving part of this forum's series. It's normal tho; that's how records get broken.
Sorry, if I'm digging out a buried issue. I think a school with relatively low competition in the intended course will admit a 3rd class degree. But such schools are very hard to find, especially in a developed country like Canada. It could be true that there's no ratio or formula for CGPA conversion because really, there's no valid basis for comparison between our education system and Canada's. So what they look at are the prerequisite courses for the programs. Even if you didn't pass them as required by the program, and there is room to still consider you, then you may be offered a provisional admission into a program (sorta like a pre-masters), which is not the real program and is NOT FREE. Every school has its own strategy so don't bank on these concepts I'm suggesting. When it comes to issues of low CGPA, it's better to mail the department directly. If you're lucky, they'd tell you your chances straight up without requiring you put in an actual application, which is usually NOT FREE.

This is not for debate purposes, they are just my thoughts and I hope it answers the question someone came here asking about his chance with his 3rd class.

That being said, I know of some people that got admission into dip and adv dip courses in Canada.

Meanwhile, CIC is still hanging our list o. No medical call yet. *fingers crossed*

Yeah, we know it might be hard for him to get but make him try first. When i was considering to apply ppl told me i cant be accepted with my HND, but I applied anyway. The rest is history. CGPA is very important but trust me other criteria like work experience/CV, recommendations from ur school prof, LOI etc also count.

My man, the best advice for gbemislow is to focus on a College doing Chemical Engineering Technology and it will even be a bit difficult to get a College immediately but he will get one if he packages his application very well...let him save himself time and leave universities out for now considering the low CGPA.

The major factor that schools consider to admit a 2.2 candidate into Masters directly is Years of related work experience or a good performance in ur last 2 years of UG study believing you've gone into ur area of specialization by then (depends on the school though)...3rd class is completely out of it bro...

See you in Canny soon...

Shyee:
such can go thru the PG diploma route, I suppose. And that is the hope in it all.
Peace

Shyee:
to proceed in your studies, please try and get admitted to PGD first. From there, you can find your bearing. All the best

Shyee:
thanks bro, I was worried I might have misled @gbemislaw by my previous posts. Thanks for sharing your experience, God Bless.
One more thing, which school evaluated your transcript or is it WES?

Shyee:
gbemislaw, please check this out.
God be with you. https://www.nairaland.com/1851578/travelling-canada-part-6/458#28351143

Ok, check Usask they hav PGD in chemical Engr. Though when I was applying the program was suspended dont know if its now open.
Try and exploit all uni offering the course (also consider there fees) before looking into colleges.

You need to take your time, no rushing.
Very importantly, pen down your letter of intent ready and try to correlate all your work experiences, research and design project into it. I would hv sent u mine as a guide, but am stil in the process.

This site will list all school that offer chem engr (both MSc, M.Eng, PGD & PGC)

mrnilobrawn:
Of 5 or 4?
Do you hav any relevant work experience?
Sometimes Cgpa is not the only thing they consider...

mrnilobrawn:
Usask will giv u pre application form to fill, try not to request for funding/schoolarship. Though u might b lucky.
They denied me admission.
On that form, your cgpa is the first thing u ar to fill.

Whats your CGPA?

akanni:
Try and contact USASK since they offer pgd, or you do a diploma or you pursue another pgd in a similar engineering line.It will be a bit tough really but just try and research well.

Shyee:
there Hundreds of Universities in Canada, please don't relent. I read somewhere that Naija cgpa tend to weigh more than Canadian's. Why not continue your effort. Please don't relent

mrnilobrawn:
What are you applying for, MSc or M.Eng?

mrnilobrawn:
Plz Apply to a uni first.... Dont just conclude that u wont b accepted.
Apply to M.Eng, dont bank on geting a schoolarship.

Try Uni ottawa, UNB, Usask dey al hv M.Eng in Chemical Engr.
tnk me leta

demoah:
I don't know any college at the moment that offers PGD in chemical engineering but I know some colleges that offer Advanced Diploma in Chemical engineering tech. look at Mohawk College (Chemical Engineering Tech, Advance diploma Program) and Lambton College (Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology )

demoah:
It is possible to further your education in a Canadian University but the only thing I know you can do first is to apply to a university in Canada to upgrade because you cant really do much with a third class. Now getting admission to upgrade is not an easy task as well because there is always competition for limited spots and admission is not guaranteed. The other option you have is to look at doing an advanced diploma program or a pgd at a Canadian college because some colleges accept third class.
