Hello; try Prodigy Finance.....

OneLocalMan:
Hello House, please i need a little clarification.

This is my first time trying to apply to a Canadian university, i have been doing some deep research to make sure i try to get things right with the help of the gurus in the house.

My Question are:

1. First i realized Mpower has limited number of school they offer student loan to, can someone please recommend other facility for student loan other than Mpower for Canada student. others i saw only offer to USA student.

2. Has anybody ever graduated from Ontario College of Management & Technology and gotten their PGWP ?
it is stated on IRCC website that people who graduate from OCMT are not eligible for PGWP, i would like to find out if anyone has been able to get through with IRCC and the PGWP.

3. Lastly, what are the chances of getting an admission with second class lower for someone with up to 3years work experience from a university rather than college.

4. Does the number of weeks matter when getting your PGWP, i mean can someone with 8months - 1year get their PGWP, i know the longer the program time, the better they can get their extended PGWP, so does the timeframe of a program really matter ? if yes, please be kind to explain different scenario to me

5. When going for Upfront Medicals, what type of test do this hospital carry out, is it malaria test or some type of other stuff, perhaps a kind reply is needed here too.

**** Most important Question is Number ONE **** but i would appreciate other replies

Thanks.

Please, for those that got Mpower loan, how did you structure your SOP under POF? Do someone need to explain reasons for taking a loan and how it will be paid and the number of years? Or attaching the MPower approval loan letter is enough?

Please I need your input as your visa applications were approved with Mpower. Thank you

Please, what degree do you go for?

MSc Project Management

karlxavier:
Thanks.

But, when you were asked to submit the bank details, what percentage of the funds do you need to have in the account before the loan is approved?

If I need like say 15k USD, how much do I need to have in my bank balance?

Hello. I had N7m in my account. I also showed my spouse account of about N5m. I had actually wanted to request less than $30k but had read information on the internet of MPower giving less than what the student requests. Didn’t think I would get the full amount but I did. Hope this helps

Please I have some questions please.

How were you able to secure the mpower loan please?

I want to know more about it.

I just went to the Mpower Financing website and answered a few questions. I submitted my bvn and a credit check was done through Nova Credit in Nigeria. I got an email saying I was eligible and received a conditional offer. I was then asked to submit some details including my bank statement up to a certain amount which was dependent on the loan request. It’s pretty straightforward, let me know if you need further help.

Hello house, I discovered this after I had submitted. My situation is I have a previous Masters in project management from the UK; this was in 2009. I have applied for a Masters in the same course but with a data analytics direction in Canada. The primary reason I’m going this route is because my 1st child is presently in senior secondary school and I want to prepare for when she will be going to University so that the huge university fees can be reduced for herself and her siblings. I’ve been to Canada before on a visiting visa as I have an older sibling who is a medical doctor and a Canadian citizen. I also indicated that I would be living with her for the duration of my 2-year course.

I tried express entry but age is no longer on my side as I am 43. I stated in my application that my husband is my home tie as he will remain in Nigeria for the duration of my studies; the plan is to apply for him and the children after I receive mine. I got an Mpower loan to support my application for my entire school fees and have about N10m of my own money as I indicated that I am self sponsored.

I have been in my present job for a 10years period and provided supporting documents from my office and details of property owned by my spouse. I applied via the new portal. I’m just a bit apprehensive looking through the previous posts and wondering what my chances are
