Check University of Waterloo..am also going for it..You could be done in a year, it all depends on u

MrArams:
Bro, don't let anyone tell you, you can't do something. You won't be the first person working to sponsor himself through school in Canada and you won't also be the last. Your program allows for 6 months coop which is good for you to make some bucks, and you could also take a further semester off if need be to get more.

If you can scale the hurdle of visa processing then good for you. Come here and devise legit means of sponsoring yourself

tnuola:
I'll still advice u get your full tuiton for 2years before u leave Nigeria, don't go with the intention of studying and hustling, what if you don't get a good enough job? What if your work load in school doesn't even give u time to relax more less work,I believe a course like yours will be time consuming and demanding. So just prepare before u go to avoid "had I known" stories.

anthochie:
one thing iv learnt from life is ..where there is a will..there surely will be a way...another thing is to be realistic. It is possible to work and fund your fees if u r determined and hard working...the co-op route Will significantly aid u ..if u get a good firm to work with...summer time when u can work unlimited hours too....but then u must take into consideration how much your fees are....I have a friend in MUN who pays his bills himself...through co-op and summer jobs....but that's cos tution at MUN isn't so expensive.....

hayqinsbFX:
i beg to disagree. a friend of mine makes enough money for his fees. though he works for 6months as coop and parttime during 6months of 2 semesters

1. Hi vicarsenal, I got admission to Seneca college for September 2015. Is it compulsory I pay my tuition before I apply for visa? Will VAC officer frown at my visa app if I don't pay cos I actually don't want to pay my tuition until I get the visa.

2. I really would like to know if it's possible to raise money for Msc (1yr). I have enough money for my PG program, tuition, accom., and upkeep. The Msc program fee is 18,000+ CAD. Can I work while doing the PG program to raise such amount in 1yr?

So what do u think?

tnuola:
In my opinion, your best shot is to gather the tuiton for the duration of 2years before u embark on going, then hustle your living expenses. Or switch to a one year programme in your school

vicarsenal:
I did it all here in naija. If you can get a year program in Lambton switch to that. But if you can't you can apply to other schools. I applied to 4 schools, Seneca College, Humber College, Red River College, Centennial college. Got admissions in all. Seneca gave me admission without even paying any app fee
. You can check them out, a nice school.

vicarsenal:
Why not go for a year program. I was in your shoes too, I switched to another school for a year PGD. Financial aspect is now settled.

Bamz:
Well I spoke with a friend at Humber. The advise I gave you is what he gave me. During Summer there's more time to work and all, what's the probability that you will be able to get the entire tuition for the session?

Progressive elaboration as your program continues implies that there will be other costs you didn't even plan for.

You are not alone my friend. Be stubborn about your goals but flexible with your plans.

Bamz:
Hustle here to get full tuition. Trust God to rough it out for your bills when you get there. You have peace of mind knowing you're not hustling for your tuition when you start to study.

tnuola:
1. The admission is legit, Maple is Lambton's representative in Nigeria.

2. It is not possible to hustle in canada and survive as a student. When school is in session you can only work 20hours per week, and more when on holidays.
The money u make will be sufficient for your bills alone.

mrnilobrawn:
Use both of them. Your maternal uncle as the main sponsor, ur brother as co-sponsor.
Your uncle could aswell state he will be responsible for ur tuition fees while your brother accomodation nd living expenses..my thought tho.

pchax:
Hey Kciano, if you checked out my document, the first page of my dad's document can serve as a letter of introduction (and that of my in law too). A letter of introduction should basically do the following:

1) Show the sponsor knows you (biological relationship or otherwise)
2) Show WHY the sponsor wants to sponsor you (Motivation)
3) Point out that the sponsor has the means to sponsor you from a brief explanation of his occupation.

You can choose many formats to package your application just make sure that your letter of introduction reflects the above 3.
Best of luck!

Pchax ,God bless u, we need people like u here. I so much admire ur SOP every day, every time. U r very smart. I never knew u stil come to this thread. Welcome back. I will be firing u questions soon. am still preparing my documents..

yyzz:
I don't know about the mailing address, I used the paper route

Bellniki1:
Hello, letter of introduction is a letter from your office or sponor introducing you formally to the VO

It should be on a letter headed paper if the office is writing addressed to the VO

I hereby wish to introduce ..... He has been our staff for this (period) he wishes to travel to canada for studies. He will be on study leave with pay. He is an asset to us...
Kindly accord all necessary assistance. Feel free to contact us for any further enquiry

Boss kindly do it ursef, I honestly don't think maple have any connection, is a 'no brainer' if u have all ur documents probability of getting visa will be high, ma colleague @work used maple and they just refunded her $2000 because she was denied, she lost the 160k application fee, go tru old posts n ask necessary questions, too many guru in the house that can help u..infact they r so good i feel they invented fire!
Get admission first, gather ur papers b4 u start thinking of how u wanna apply..cheers
