TRV is not the end of the world, it is a ticket to greater things to come.If one's intentions are noble, believe me, TRV will drop on your lap.
I thank all on this forum, they helped me in my application and during the wait.I particularly appreciate Justwise for his persistence on this tread eventhough I never chatted him up or know him in person, cos it takes dedication to do that.Regards to Slimdel too, she's been my companion during the wait.
For all expectants, the grace of God will be sufficient for you.
Gracias!

That dude is right..its just a delay not a denial...

Don't be discouraged. . Better days ahead..

conyema12: Hey guys, I got admitted into Univ of Alberta for Msc programme in Integrated Petroleum Geosciences for this Fall. But I don't think I will make it, the reason being that I currently do not have enough money to embark on the project.

How possible is it to defer to Fall of 2015 to enable me get financially prepared for the programme.

Do I write the school to notify them?

What can I use as the best reason for the deferment?

thanks

yomiraheem: ////////////

kesseva: Yes o owenize I applied as a student God knows y it took so long cos finally today I got my TRV and my wait was not in vain.

Bros that one much ooo...after paying tution ,accomadation and every.. still 5mil minimum?
It Good if u have that in acc.. but I wouldn't agree tagging miminum to dat.. oboi you must be a Republican..a rich one for that matter..poor ma pikin no go go canada

lymelyte: Minimum should be 5mill

Ok sir..

sexysammy0906: okay, thanks. applying for another masters means waiting for another year cos most of the school offering Masters program in jan do not have any program that might be of interest to me. If i have to wait that long i think i might not even bother going again cos i actually did apply for master last year frm three diff schools and didn't get any positive response from them. thats why i decided to go for pgd so that i could apply in canada after my program. i heard it is easier that way. what course are u going to study there? good luck on ur application. anyways let me know how it goes.

They do Monday to friday.. Check the VFS site.. bro I dey tell u I don travel from ilorin to Lagos before to find out they are on holiday dat. st. Victoria's day i think

codebreaker: Guys are there specif days of the week for biometrics or they are done everyday..

I recall seeing something about wednesday n thursday?

Lmao ..****.ROTFL*** my back dey pain.me

pyhz: Nigerian english ba

Me sef. Plus pure water..

Amefrica: *eating groundnut and guguru* Make i dey watch film, since sleep no gree come.

Boss I will advice you to chill the bank's receipt should be an additional document to the receipt issued by the school.

Mail and call the admission office to fasten things up.

parisbluefox: Guys! Can i use the Telex copy that was given to me by my bank as proof of tuition payment? MUN says it takes 10 days for them to issue tuition payment receipt and that they can not issue unless it has reflected in my student account.

Biometrics: finger print and picture

Medical: checking your blood, urine etc

Hassan0007: Hi guys what's d diffrent btw medical and bio metric

Boss for real ooo..they will refuse..I don't have a masters or no any one that has and be refused. But the admission officer for centennial college told me that categorically. She said all people that has applied for a lower program has been denied from her experience. . Because I was trying to apply for a technical program also and I have a degree. So boss don't risk it

A second masters wouldn't be a bad idea..
that is allowed.

heading for centennial also. Falls. But still praying for medical calls.

sexysammy0906: Hello everyone, i have been following this forum and have found it very useful. please i need help with some information. I recently got an admission to cetennial college for pgd program and i was about applying for visa when my agent brought to my attention tht i might have some issues with getting a visa since i have a master degree from uk. he explained that the embassy recently have been rejecting applications from most persons who have completed a master degree in another country and wants to study for a lesser degree in canada. please is there anyone who has a master degree and is going for a pgd program and has gotten visa. i am really confused and i really do not knw what to do. i would really appreciate any information. thanks

Sad bro. Follow advice from guru's in the house. . then please kindly repackage and re-fire.
