Phocusjosh:
It's not vague, just that you could not convince the VO enough the need to study your intended course of study at University of Waterloo. Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program for which you have been accepted?, What is your overall educational goal and overall career goal?, What have you been doing (by way of employment/professional development) since the completion of your undergraduate studies and now?, How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of residence/citizenship? (i.e. how will your skill be valuable to the Nigerian market?), i.e. briefly explain the impact of your course on your future career and your home country
6. Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence?

The key reason for writing an SOP is to demonstrate to the embassy that your purpose of visiting Canada is genuine, and that you will come back to Nigeria after your studies. It has to be very persuasive and convincing. Btw, the VO knows that you might not come back to Naija... they are not idiots... what they need to be convinced about is that you would freely come back to Nigeria if you cannot legally stay in Canada anymore.

To convince the VO (visa officer):
1. you will need to be specific about what it is your Canada education would help you do once you come back to Naija. Just saying that you will come back home not convincing
2. you need to be specific about what it is about that program or its curriculum that would help you achieve your stated goals
3. you need to be specific about what it is you have done that makes you a credible applicant

Basically, you need to emphasize on what you have done and exactly what you will do when you return to Nigeria (be very clear and unambiguous about this).

Share your profile for other guru(s) to help out.

All the best in your next application.

Pls I will like you to help me review my SOP?

CATESTIMONYMIDE:
fanshawe college.
How did you go about your application?
After submitting my application , i was later refer to contact an agent.

I have not applied o, but would try and do that this week.. ..Please what documents did you scan and submit to fanshawe college? Expecting your reply

hustla:
Most times, it's better to have than to not have.
For schools that do not say it's compulsory, you'll come off as better than another person who's applying without ielts

When I wanted To apply to lambton for instance, someone that applied with Ielts got selected and I wasn't.. I wrote countless emails to them explaining that I studied in English and even studied mass communication to no avail. My school even wrote them, same response

That's what made me write Ielts that time..


I haven't reapplied since though

Please when you were applying to lambton college

What were the things you submitted to the college?

2. About the ielts can I still write it and still travel to canada because I learnt they do lessons for it and it takes months before you finally get to write it

Please oooo......is there anyone here going to seneca or fanshawe college?

Asapant:
I applied to 3 colleges my self. Algonquin, Durham and Seneca and they're all straight forward and simple. I Also tried Conestoga.. Dear Brother. apply your self.. I choose Durham kus of reasonable fee among the above mentioned.

Cheers.

Bro....is it the same course you applied in the 4 colleges or different courses


Also what document did you submit? Expecting your reply

hustla:
I'm not sure if any other person has advised you but please write Ielts
Gives you an edge and makes you avoid time wasting in case the school later asks for it

Thanks for this advice. Please what kind of edge are you talking about? Expecting your reply

Hey guys....is there anyone here who is going to fanshawe college? Please i will need the person to guide me in applying to fanshawe college.

jnyuwa02:
Not relevant to Nigeria as English is our mode of instruction in school. Check with your school, I know one school in Canada still requires students in Nigeria to take a test demonstrating their English proficiency.

Thanks for replying....please I have 2 questions.

1. Which canadian school are you in?

2. Is it possible for one to apply for masters after completion of PGD?

Hello guys........is it a must someone from Nigeria must take IELTS exam before the person can go for masters in canada? Expecting replies urgently thanks.

yemdogg:
If you're looking to pursue a course based masters program, could be possible. However, you'd have to apply to many institutions just to improve your chances of admission.

Thanks for replying. One more thing, is it with the result of the PGD i will use to apply for the masters?

Do different canadian universities have cut off marks depending on the course one wants to study.


Which universities should one apply to?
