EducationRe: Got My First Carryover, Please Help I’m Dying by jakeroberto(m): 12:27pm On Dec 08, 2023
Christianoir:
I’ve been writing exam since i haven’t gotten any carryover…Just had one today God cry[u] cry cry I feel disgusted and ashamed.. since I started writing exams since Monday all my grade have been A throughout
It cbt exam once you finish writing you will see your score

I wrote and score 40/100 which is F (carryover)
The course wasn’t that hard..I read it, it was time
60 questions to answer 20min too small.

I don’t know what to do….this is my first
This is my first carryover course since
It breaking me down

I don’t even have to zeal to read for next course again
Some, if not most of us have been in this situation.
Let me tell you mine, I never had a carryover until my last semester in my final year exam. When I went to the board to check for my result I saw repeat......After writing the exam with all other exams, my paper was seized and filled for malpractice.
I wanted to just die at that moment, but with the support of my family.....I hurdled over all suicidal attempts.
After all, I spent a good 3 years additional before I got cleared and went for service and didn't take me upto 3 months after service, I got a job.
Bro/Sis whichever one, all these are just trials of life for you to become a stronger and better person in the future. All you just have to do is, dust you ass back up and retake the course again....but this time around, read very well as if it is your only ticket to a better life and I bet you....you gonna A's it.....

As a student over here in Canada. You have 20 hours to work in a week.
Let's do the maths:
20(hrs)×18(per hour) × 4(weeks a month) = $1444(Canadian dollars)
1444×585 = 842,400 naira( this is just average).
Meanwhile, in Nigeria. I was earning just 100k naira per month.

Please can you elaborate on why you said so
Your clothing- cos of the weather
Traffic rules even while walking on the road- you can't just cross the road anyhow.
Food- our local foods at a bit expensive compared those made here.
Timing- everything you do need timing, you don't just do things anyhow.
Interaction- you just don't interact with people anyhow over here, you have to first and foremost study them for a while and they would have to interact with you. (Not everyone on the street is okay)
And many more

Some SOP tips that I used. They might come handy. I got my PPR in 19 days.

First, start with an intro : My name is xxxx, and I am writing in respect to my application for a Canadian study visa to pursue a xxxx at xxxx University.

Write a summary of your personal background. : State your name, spouse n kids (if any), siblings and parents. Please list their full name. You may also want to include the jobs they do.

Summarize your academic background : Please summarize every of your academic qualifications, including short courses, certifications, etc.

Summarize your professional background : Summarize every job experience listed in your cv/resume. Please list volunteering experiences too.

Write the reason for wanting to study course of choice : In this case, you might want to find a connection between your educational and professional experience, and then state it. In my case, I searched online and saw a major issue stated by the fed govt, and the issue was linked to my course of study. I stated this issue, wrote how this course will help mitigate this issue, and in turn, we would have a better Nigeria. I also copied the link to the news on punch website, and inserted it into my SOP.

Reason for studying in Canaaada : Truthfully, there was no university in Nigeria that offered the course I wanted to study, so I stated that. I made utmost research on this.

Finance : Please do a table of your funds in Naira, and then convert it to CAD. List the funds in both Naira and cad. Also list where each fund comes from. Include sponsorship, bank statement, savings, gist deed, property valuations etc

Draw a table for your expenses : Explain how you intend to spend the money (insurance, medicals, bus pass, etc)

Lump sum explanation : Explain every lump sum in details.

List every travel status : if you have ever been refused visa into any country, if you have/have had an express entry status, etc.

Conclusion : You can include your resumption date and appeal for a speedy application consideration. Also state an assurance that you will conduct yourself well, and adhere to the rules and regulations.

Underneath, do a comprehensive list of your supporting documents so that they can understand when checking. Eg

Enclosed documents

LOA
B.sc cert &transcripts
Xxxx certification
Pictures with parents and siblings
Picture at work
House doc etc.

Please be neat, use proper grammar, punctuations and paragraphs.

Proper paragraphs are very important. It makes it easy to read.

SOP shouldn’t bore the reader. 3-4 pages max. You can have less than that. (A friend’s SOP was just about 10 lines and was approved). Font size should be around 9 or 10. Please also make use of an official and professional font type.

Pray oh, pray for grace. If you are tired, you can switch to just singing praises. Remember that the walls of Jericho fell down flat when the children of God were praising the Lord.

Never underestimate the power of praises and thanksgiving.
Congratulations to you

Hello, please I need some help. My brother just gained admission and my husband and I want to be his sponsor, though my mom is still alive. I’m a PR in Canada and I have the proof of funds in CAD. Will his application be denied if I’m his sponsor?
You would have to deposit some amount in his account, so he can use it as POF also using his statement of account after a period of 4 months. And also pay the 1 year tuition also.

Goodmorning everyone
Please I need help and advice
I am 21 years. Did OND cert program on Electrical and Electronics Engineering 2017-2021 in IMT Enugu. Currently doing HND program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering(Power and Machine) in IMT which I will graduate next year.
I got an admission to do a one year certificate program on Heavy duty equipment mechanics with 6months of workshop at Red River College.
My sponsor is my aunt in USA who is a nurse.
We already paid for the installment school fees to the school. I started application of visa with an agent but after going through some threads here I would like to do the application myself.
Another issue is that I got admission with my Waec to red river college.
Please for my SOP should I be honest with my study certificates or should I be quiet about it since my ND and HND certificates was not used during school applications.

Please I need honest reviews and I can send my SOP too🙏
Put your certificate even if you've gone for NYSC attached it too....That's how I did mine and got, even after using only my WAEC to a college.

ALHAMDULLILAH!!! ALHAMDULLILAH!!! ALHAMDULLILAH!!! I got my PPR.

This journey definitely did not start today, it began way back in 2017 and I'm grateful it ended with a good note. As you can see from the image i attached below, it started way back in 2017, but i knew there was no way in hell i could raise the money for Canada at that time.

So I had to make up my mind and develop my tech skill for Two hard years while working at a very terrible company, mehn those were trying times. Just like they say "Tough times never last, but tough people do", God came through for me and I got a contract job with a foreign company and the pay was really good, so good I kinda forgot about my initial japa plans and as the Almighty would have it, My contract with the foreign company came to an end.

Sadness engulfed me but I had to pick myself up and started applying until I got a local company, but to be honest, after assessing my salary and our economy, I knew I had to go back to my original plan which was now possible thanks to my frugal lifestyle LOL, I didn't even own a car except for land properties sha.

But this my Application was filled with tension, I Mistakenly did not upload my Two passport photograph, Application for study permit made outside of Canada and Family Information, If not for my brother that was just assuring me that it will end in success LOL, I almost gave up and thought of cancelling my application, but at the end, it did end with success and also shout out to @bullstriker who also assured that it was not really a big deal. Big thanks to @zubizareta and others, without your guidances a lot of us would really be lost, may the Almighty bless you guys, Amin.

biometrics 17/10/2023
med request 23/10/2023
