Are you working in the production industry in Nigeria? if what you just said is actually true, try convince the VO and who knows you might be issued a visa.My take is this, don't allow your low cpga to discourage you from going for your masters.if you have a good GRE and TOEFL scores, why not apply for your masters in industrial engineering, do you have fund for the undergraduate program?Many questions come to mind except you have your plans bro.Good luck!!.

yes bro I have funds for the dergraduate program for the 2 years, my biological brother is a professor at George mason university Virgina USA and he is the sponsor then my mum the co-sponsor, or is that a disadvantage for me? And currently I am a freelance worker, no job permanent job yet, but I actually worked in the safety and emergency department during my IT ..because I just finished my NYSC in December 2017..

What's your plan with this course after graduation?

I intend to come back to Nigeria and work in a production industry probably in the Safety and emergency department, because there is no production or manufacturing industry that does not have a safer or emergency department.. and there are so many other things I can do with the course, another is working with an emergency agency like Nema and co. I do hear they do deny student visa if going for another undergraduate degree, but for mine I need just 60 credit to finish the degree.. any red flag here?

Hi gurus in the house, I appreciate all the good work you guys have been doing here..

Please I need an advice from you all, I have a first degree from materials and production Engineering, and I graduated with a 2:2, but now I applied to a uni in Virginia for a second degree, and I was given admission to study applied disaster and emergency studies for anothe undergraduate degree but this time I will finish in 2 years instead of 4 years because I applied as a second degree student,and this course is a dream course for me, please is there any chances of me getting a visa even if I do well in my interview.. thank you.

Hello house, i have been an active reader on this forum, and i must say this forum is one of the best i have ever belong to.

Welcome back boss frank!

Gurus in the house i need help from you all, i graduated from production Engineering department from a nigerian university in 2016, and finished my NYSC in december 2017 which was last year, applied for a course at brandon University canada which is Applied Disaster and Emergency studies, and i was given admission at the university, actually they offered me admission as a second degree student, meaning i am going to finish the degree in 2 years or 2.5 years and not 4 years.. i want to know if i should go ahead and apply, as am thinking they might delay my visa because it is another under graduate, but am not doing it for 4 years, rather am doing it for 2 years due to prior learning and the university recognized my first degree.i cant do a masters because i graduated with a 2:2 and i dont want a PGD because it difficult getting a PGD in that course, and Brandon University is the first and only university offering that course in canada, and no nigerian university offers same course, except similar courses and they are relatively new course here in Nigeria.i heard they dont grant visa to those who have undergraduate degree before. please house what advise can you give me, as my biological brother is my sponsor and he is an Assistant professor at a University in USA and my mom the co sponsor. Wount they say my biological brother is based in the US as a top lecturer in a university that it will affect me.. I need the house to help me.

Hello house, is it advisable to proceed with TRV application for a second degree at Brandon University which is a public university in Canada I was given admission recently to study Applied disaster and emergency studies, and as a second degree student I am expected to complete the degree for 2.5 years because I have a first degree in Engineering which I concluded December 2015, and I finished NYSC in December 2017.. house please help a brother as this is a dream course for me as I always hear that going for another undergraduate degree always lead to refusal, tho am to complete the degree for 2.5 instead of 4 years.

And please can my biological brother sponsor me as he works as a Professor at George mason university USA..

Please I need more light on this my issues great gurus of this house..

Thank you so much boss, as i am already working on my SOP, and the proposed course Applied Disaster and emergency studies is kind of related to engineering, because we engineers we deal with heavy duty machines, and disaster or hazard are meant to happen. i just always feel that it more reasonable to them doing a bachelors degree for 2.5 years instead of 4 years especially those that have a first degree before. All the same thanks for the conrbution

jnyuwa02:
If a second bachelor to be completed in 2.5 years as opposed to 4 years is the only avenue available to you, please go ahead and apply. Do not try to bootstrap another person’s situation to yours. Just because people going for a second bachelor are denied, doesn’t mean you would be denied. Try and focus on your own story and convey why a second degree is the most logical progression in your circumstance. You might say it would give you the opportunity to develop better study skills to commence a competitive higher education in Canada or the USA or wherever you choose next. Tell them your course is not offered in Nigeria, that is a very good point. You might dance and be given money where others are getting beaten. Best of luck.

Ps: nothing wrong with your sponsorship. You can be sponsored by anybody anywhere with the funds to prove for it! Member of one’s immediate family doing the sponsorship is more believable. And keep in mind in stating that your course is not available in Nigeria, CIC has started doing its own research to find out availability in Nigerian universities!
