What's the name of the school that gave you the admission and what's your credential that satisfied their admission requirement?

kingfintan:
Gurus in the house, please I am going for a 2 years bachelors degree, as I was given admission from a university in US, I was admitted as a secon degree student because I have a first degree before, and am to finish the second degree in 2 years in lieu of the standard 4 years..is this a good one for me? And how will the VO see this. Because this is a course on Applied disaster and Emergency studies, I require just 60 credit to complete the second degree because my first degree in engineering was recognized.. has anyone gotten a visa with this before, please help a brother.. some call it transfer student.. please help oo

bbclue:
Shei na school dey sponsored you.....if na school used the school letterhead


But

If is not school and your brother is working there he should used plain paper and then type on it....then his employment letter. ...pay slips.....bank statement. .....etc

tylerwill:
My advice to you. Answer your questionnaire briefly to avoid unnecessary issues. Your questionnaire is a written proof of your application questions answered by you first hand.

tylerwill:
Plain sheet of paper will do. I guess you wanna submit via paper route.
Goodluck

Phocusjosh:
Hello bro, going through your profile I saw you post exactly the same information on the USA thread. Did you get the same course in the same school or what?

theamerican:
1. What can you say if asked... first option: the truth, second option: the truth, or just say the truth. Lol, on a lighter note, you can say you've been volunteering anywhere or getting set for grad school. Lying could complicate your interview. Don't tell a big lie you wouldn't be able to back up.

2. These people don't worry much about these things. They have better things to talk about than NYSC's incompetence. Again, if they ask, just say the truth. Keep your answers short and straight to the point. If you're not asked for more info, don't give more info.

Good luck sir!

Alright, Maybe the school you applied to did internal evaluation with your transcript to have offer you such

Nitta08:
Hey, look you can get into a masters program even with that CGPA. I was waiting to be done with everything before posting my story.
My undergraduate CGPA was 2.7/5, Geophysics.
2.8/4 - transcript evaluation.
That didn't stop me. I applied for fall 2017 and got back to back rejects. Just an admit from one but couldn't attend due to lack of funds.
I sat for the GRE but my score wasn't stellar either. 295...Quant 151. I didn't mind.
I applied to 9 universities this fall. 4 rejects, 5 admits with some sort of funding in some.
Everything is about packaging and knowing what you want.
Your Statement of Purpose, Recommendation letters, Resume should all be on point. And a drive to succeed on your intended course of study. E.g...if it's Geosciences or CS, what are the computer applications you can use that can make you valuable in that field. What courses have you gotten yourself trained in to make your CV attractive?.
The God factor and several other factors.
I make use of Yocket, Quora and gradcafe a lot.
Especially Yocket because there you'll get school reviews and find and connect with so many Indians with similar profiles or even lesser and you'll also be able to channel your choice of schools according to your profile.
Don't ever think you can't get into grad school with a 2.7 CGPA.
Make the internet and search box engine your friend today.
Good luck.

AKUPSME:
Please how do I tackle these reasons.
I tot my SOP already explained these reasons as it was reviewed by experts here plus
I have already paid my first year tuition and I have 3million in my savings account ready for export.
I also submitted my deed of transfer for my Land and that of my Mother.
I applied for masters Electrical Engineering and my first degree was a bachelor's in Electrical engineering

Walspring:
You can apply for a master degree if your 2.2 is around 3.0 and also take your time to do the right thing by evaluating your result

It seems you are applying as a transfer student

@kingfintan University in Canada takes 2.2 don't let anyone confuse you. My friend is doing her masters in University of Ontario with 2.2 so brace up and submit your application. Just that you may not be able to get a research funded Master, and most likely probably a Meng or Masc instead of MSC.

Asapant:
kingfintan.

I made a research concerning your course.

Fanshawe
Algonquin
Conestoga
Mohawk
Loyalist &
Confederation. These colleges offer PGD in manufacturing engineering. And I think it's almost synonymous to production engineering.

Happy Sunday all..

They don't believe anything on your SOP except it is backed with sufficient evidence. You will only be preaching to the dead. All your explanations have to be convincing beyond the reasonable doubt. Personally never seen anyone going for a second first degree approved.

Ps: However bleak I have painted the chances of success, I can actually see someone who is going for a second first degree winning a visa. A situation where you studied something you didn't like, but want to go for something else tangible based on working experience. For example someone who studied fine arts and came out and landed a job with an environmental firm and became passionate in that field and wants to study more in that area. Going for graduate school directly wont be feasible in that case and doing a first degree and acquiring the necessary prerequisite, would be the only way to go. A second degree doesn't mean you will spend another four years. You spend only two years to get a second first degree and proceed to graduate school in the area of your new found interest.

I'm not telling you not to go for the course, I'm only telling you what the VO will likely be thinking when he/she goes through your ds-160. It's your job to explain to the VO why you decided to switch. Be prepared to also explain why you're not advancing your career but going for another undergraduate degree.

kingfintan,

Canada study visa gets tougher as the day breaks, inorder to save you from the stress of applying and getting a refusal based on purpose of visit, it is better you go for something higher than your previous academic level. A Masters degree or a PGD.

All the best!

goodemma20:
Compared to Production enginnering, Appied Disaster and emergency studies is a lower course. For you to get this visa, you'll have to convincingly explain why you decided to switch to a course that does not relate to what you studied before.

You fill online and make sure you generate barcode for imm1294e, make sure u check very well o so that the numbers on the bottoms left will be the same from page 1 to 6 of that form, you will fill the family information form online too, you use your hand for the questionaire and documents checklist. Make sure you let them know you have been refused a visa to U.K., let your sponsor shows commitment by transferring a year tuition fees+ 10,000Cad living expenses into your account....I hope this helps
