to the best of my knowledge, YES....it is advisable to enter for sept. admission
cos i read somewhere that the condition on your study permit can be changed in canada



i believe if you can transfer from one school to another in CANADA,you can also change the kind of program you're doing
BUT i think you'll loose money as in the money you payed to the first school[/quote]

@all if a visa is granted for a masters program for Sept. admission and one gets a PhD offer from another schl for January admission, must he enter Canada 1st before changing the visa or change it b4 entering Canada?

eo2002: My sch resumes Today hv done my Med since 15th of AUG.... My fear now is CDHC asking me for a new start date I can't afford the wait...pls house is it possible to still get TRV a week after the start Date? I need Urgent reply pls.

I am also have interest in the answer to the above question, anyboby with the answer?

lillaowow: you just got a supervisor i suppose, i'm aware part of a research based masters is getting a supervisor (which i'm convinced is applicable for a PHD). So, officially, your outstanding conditions/documents/criteria has just been met.
Give 'em like a week- two weeks (working days), i'll suggest yu mail them a day or two before the end second week.

Having a supervisor, is it a guarantee of funding and admission?

Thanks so much for ur assistance

lillaowow: 10-14 working days. If afterwards, you didn't recieve any mail about you being admitted or your admission notice...kindly, email them. On the 13th day

The date of the last document receive was 9th August bt d update ws yestrdy becos I contactd d prof yestrdy aftr failed attempt to reach d sec. When shld I start countn 14 wrkn days yestrdy or 9th?

Thanks
@rockar, just send d sec a short reminder, I sa m going for a PhD so I already hav a supervisor who encouraged me to apply.

lillaowow: 10-14 working days. If afterwards, you didn't recieve any mail about you being admitted or your admission notice...kindly, email them. On the 13th day

My status on USask changed to complete ready for review after contactng my supervisor since d sec ws delay d update wtout response. Hw long do I need to wait b4 final decision? D exprienced in d house ans.

pls which department did u apply, I sent mail yestrday no response and also called civil engr. Sec. (voice message sayn I shld send mail for enquiry on applicatn status). I tire oo

rockar: Thanks so much to all u pple dat replied me. U hav of great help. I av finally had the chance to speak with the sec of d dept who told me she went on vacation dats why there have been no update. Its so funny how they shuld leave everything to someone dat went om vac. She said she has gotten all mu doc. So im expecting to hear the best from them. Tank you all

what department did u get admitted?

lillaowow: about U of Sask.
same happened to me.
Tho i never had problem with them replying my email..infact, if i should mail them this morning, by 2-3pm, they would have replied me
i remembered a time i mailed the admission team, and Five mins later, i got my reply
But they just forgot i've been admitted..infact, they totally forgot about me being admitted, so my admission letter came late for FALL start date

i had to mail them, that was when they remembered i've been admitted around JUNE29
Keep mailing them BUT be gentle with them, those oyinbo ppl are over sensitive with words.
Honestly, they're swift to my own Emails.

[quote author=Don Cipher]@Rockar, admin staff @ Usask are very inefficient, whn i applied last yr i had 2 call thm 2 update & correct my record cos they enter'd sum1 else's info whc they said was a mstake..so u myt nid 2 rily bug thm.

You are right, I am having same experience, My documents are complete (but no update) and I have written the sec. up to 7 times no response. I have also called once and the voice mail directed me to write an email. Its so pathethic. Mine is winter admission 2013.

Thank God and congratulations! Its turn by turn

bancan: Praise Jesus with me. I got my trv today. More gist later

Blackmontana: Hello people!Just tracked my page on the VAC portal now and it reads: "Your application has been assessed by the Canadian High Commission/Consulate General of Canada and is being returned to the centre where you applied." I had my medicals on 31st of July-exactly 3 weeks; and submitted requested document on the 10th of August.I think CDHC is reverting too soon.*sigh*

Congratulations!!!

Ok sorry I did not fill questionare when I applied, its not applicable where I am.

Felipe-a:

Any tots... Wld it be okay?

I thot u already hav an offer wt Uni sk

earthgreeners: Applying to MUN, and UManitoba
Environmental related course cos I have a degree in Environmental Management

pauloman: What is actually required by people travelling with either temporary or permanent residents coming into to Canada by air is that at the Point of Entry ( POE) at the Canadian border their Border officials will check you and you must declare to them if you are in possession or money exceeding CAD10k otherwise if found out it is a purnishable offence.

Also ,Economic immigrants are expected to carry settlement funds when arriving in Canada which the Canadian Border Officials will check and count to be sure it conforms with the stipulated settlement funds on their website which is ussually more than CAD10k. But i do not think this concerns students on TRV except for the statement on the first paragraph.

For immigrants that i am very sure of,the money could be in cash,travellers cheque,money orders ,drafts but not credit card or debit card

Read d instructn

earthgreeners: true talk, they r quite slow in updating application stats..the grad sec. are just not it....what course are u going for and ur start date?

Civil Engineering

Please can some1 confirm that I am not the only person experiencing lack of status update with the Uni. Saskatchewan. All my documents and referee form has been sent and the secretary no longer returns my mail. Well I am still hopeful. Its 1month today.

Pls for those peopl who have entered Ca, wht financial evidence did u show at d airport? Cash or what? Thank u.

dommakavelli: Do i need to take English Language Proficiency test (toefl) to gain admission in the uni of waterloo?

Check out the requirement for graduate student... http://grad.uwaterloo.ca/students/prospective/ESLinstitutions.html for undergraduates.... http://findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/admissions/elr.php

Felipe-a:
What if the full year sch fees is abt CAD21,000,(abt 7000CAD/semester, 3 semesters a year) ..... some banks mught not process that large sum without raising a flag or issues....

You can pay for the first semester, its better than not paying at all. I believe since they called u for medical, it means that the money in the account you submitted is sufficient to carry u thru. So just pay for 1st semester, at this stage you cannot be denied visa except on medical grounds or insufficient fund (when u did not pay at all). My own view, others can contribute especially those with trv already.

earthgreeners: Yeah I noticed too, but it also depends on the department and the Graduate secretary handling the admission...what course are you applying for?....send ur email, i need to ask some questions

I just sent u an email thru nairaland I dnt want to display my e-mail on dis forum. Its civil and geological engineering dept.

Its better to pay ur tution fee full if u can to avoid given thm any reason for denial, als considering ur start date. This is a personal view.

de-humph:
