Hello house
I have cime across some post with people trying to make pgc inferior to masters and to me I really don't agree to that assertion. I think is a matter of interest and what either of the two can offer u going forward. Let me use my self as an example. I graduated with a CGPA of 4.28 in computer science, my interest was in computer security, all I get from the universities was Msc in computer science while colleges I got specifically what I'm looking for, cyber security and computer forensic my sponsor wanted an Msc but due to the fact Msc wasn't offering me what I desired, I opted for pgc and convinced my sponsor . It wasn't because of tuition, that in it self wouldn't have been an issue. But the interest is just the driving force. Trv to me is not factor of pgc pgd or Msc. Submitting what is required and pray that's all. I'm still an hopeful though but what ever the outcome I won't change for Msc.. hopefully it will be a positive outcome though.cheers.

Hmm... I wouldn't recommend for anyone (particularly undergraduate applicants) to go to Canada without access to funds that cover AT LEAST one year. You WILL suffer. While there are schools like uWaterloo that have very lengthy co-ops that enable the student to make enough money to pay a good fraction of your fees (assuming your course is in a highly-paid hot area like computer science), this is very uncommon.

Even with uWaterloo, undergraduate applicants in particular NEED to make sure that they have at least one year's worth of tuition and room and board. It WILL be an extremely difficult life in every way if you plan to go to Canada with little to zero funds, especially for an undergraduate in his/her teenage years or very early twenties. I speak from experience here, as I know several friends that tried this when we were undergrads... most did badly in school (one now works as a plumber, and it wasn't by choice... he couldn't get a decent job... I'm not joking), some were kicked out of school (two got deported as they were now illegal in the country); only a few were able to do it successfully (maybe 15%.. but these were the ones who had family or family friends around to bail them out or take them in if they were in the worst dire straits).

Also, don't forget that Canada is a very cold country. So if you ever end up getting stranded without a place to stay on a cold day, or if you can't afford to buy very good cold weather clothing, or if you are hungry, YOU WILL BE ROYALLY SCREWED and your health could be in serious danger. Please no undergraduate applicant should plan going to Canada without at least enough funds for the first year. I'd recommend making sure your sponsor can at least afford 75% of your total expenses for each year of your study, or at least 75% of what you need for your first two years.

If you are are going to a place like uWaterloo's co-op program AND you are studying a hot course like computer science, then maybe (and I still am reluctant to say this) only having one year's worth of funds might work. But do not try it otherwise.

You are welcome.
I can't share SOPs whatsoever due to plagiarism risks -- I also can't share anyone else's SOP as it would be a violation of their trust and privacy.

Hmm... I learned how to write SOPs when I was applying to grad school, and I have also had the opportunity to help review dozens of SOPs. But I am so busy these days that it is hard to find time to review SOPs because to do it well I have to invest time and concentration.

My advice for you is to go online and read up on how to write a good SOP. The main thing is you need to make sure that your content is organized into paragraphs that flow smoothly into each other. You also first need to have a plan of what you want to write before doing so. There are also a lot of posts on this thread (both this part and previous parts) that mention what you need to address in your SOP to CIC.

thesoj:
Yeah I think you have enough to demonstrate to a VO that your pursuit of an IT course is in line with your previous study & experience. BUT you still need to make sure that your SOP clearly and unambiguously emphasizes these IT courses you have taken. You should make it clear that you spent nine months studying these courses (and in the SOP, you should make it clear that the certificates are attached), emphasizing what you gained from them and how they helped further shape your desire to pursue study/work/career in this area.

Also, when you fill the CIC Study Permit application form (IMM1294E), you should include the study period for these IT courses under the "Education" section or under the "Employment/Activity" section (whichever makes more sense); I make this suggestion so that the VO doesn't think that you are jumping from mass comm to IT (in case the VO doesn't read your SOP closely). I am a big fan of intelligently building redundancy into your TRV application.

Do also make it crystal clear to the VO how the IT program in Canada would give you more knowledge than the courses you studied in India.

Your phrase "I believe communication is key to managing people in IT, Mass communication could come in handy then" is not convincing because mass communication has nothing to do with managing people (it is more related to things like broadcasting, news writing/editing, etc). So make sure the way you link mass communication to your future career/aspirations in a way that makes sense, otherwise you risk compromising your own application.

Actually it quite possible to convince the VO about your intended switch but this requires a high burden of proof from you to show that the career switch is indeed genuine and not random or arbitrary. It would be easier to make this case if you either have professional experience in the new field that you are switching to, or if you have informal experience (with proof) demonstrating your desire to pursue the new field. Even with all the evidence, you will also need to write an extremely passionate and convincing statement of purpose.

There are people on this forum that have done what you are trying to do. But keep in mind that it is a high risk proposition that you should undertake only if you are confident of why you are making the switch, and only if you also have evidence and compelling reasons to do so. Additionally, you would need to be able to communicate this information clearly and intelligently in your SOP to CIC.

If you don't feel confident about your ability to convince the VO of the switch, then this is also an indicator that you yourself might not even be sure of why you are making the switch to that specific course. After all, if you haven't truly explored the new field (with evidence to show the VO), how would you know if you would like it once you start classes? This is why VOs are strict with these sort of course switches.

VOs are open-minded subjective human beings, you can convince them if your reasons make sense. However the burden of proof is quite high in some cases, and this is one of them. But it is very doable. You just have to be honest with yourself as to whether your reasons for switching to the new course are credible.

Hmm...S7 Edge screen replacement is 110K + 60K =170K.

Wont it be wise to buy a UK used one for 180K without going through all this.

even the dullard president went abroad and told the whole world that his country men are corrupt,so what do u expect from the international community all these coupled with the fact that some Nigerians are also involved in one crime or the other abroad. What the use is trying to do is to limit the number of Nigerians living in their country by making it extremely difficult for them.

Moheat:
Hello Nairalanders, for sometimes now my C ounsin has been contemplating on which of these two countries should he move to. He is not going there to school for your info because he doesn't have the money rather he is going for greener pastures.

Please I need your sincere opinion. Thank you.

blesmatic:
