The paper application is currently faster. I applied online about 4 months ago and they haven't even started reviewing my application, no AOR. A friend who applied online in March just got invited to write the test after 8 months. Meanwhile, someone else who applied about the same time via paper has done oath-taking.

Please indicate while buying the ticket that she needs a wheelchair. With that, she will have someone to assist her with all check-in and transfer processes. And you don't have to explain why she needs a wheelchair.

Hello guys,

What’s the best and cheapest way to ship items (luggage) from Winnippeg to Toronto (apart from plane)? Please help!

.

Why not contact the school directly to confirm the fees? Also, being eligible to work 20hrs a week doesn't mean you will always have the time to work 20hrs a week. It all depends on the intensity of the program and how you're able to cope. So, take that into consideration when making your budget.

[quote author=Cuthbertola post=103603812][/quote]

Yes, you can. Please ask specific questions.

Adexxplace:
Hi kyrie, I would like to get more information about this program. Can I please send u an email?

Yes. When I got my ECA from WES the DoB stated on it as seen on my transcript for my 1st degree was totally different from what I had filled in my WES application. I sent WES documents to prove my correct DOB. But after one month of waiting, I was told my school would have to send another transcript to them.
I was not ready for that stress. So, I went ahead to submit my application and wrote an LOE explaining the mistake. I also attached every document pre-university that showed my correct DoB (national ID card, birth certificate, baptismal card, WAEC certificate). There was no unusual delay in my application process and the GCMs notes I ordered didn't even mention it.

JIREN01:
Please, did anyone experience discrepancies in the DOB between transcripts an other documents. The DOB on my transcripts is '96, while other documents, including WAEC and passport, bear '97. The process for rectification of DOB by my school is very long. Please help me.

If you haven't started yet, you can still send them your course description. Even after registering for classes you would still be given a few weeks after school starts to drop any course. I didn't even ask the school about mine, I just uploaded my course description as part of my application documents.
Lakehead is a good school if you don't mind living in NW Ontario. I heard that in bigger cities schools compete amongst themselves for clinical placement locations for their students. I don't know how true it is. But we don't have that problem here

And the school fees is about $7, 200 per year for PR/citizens.

Thanks so much for this clarification. I didn’t know some schools exempt Psychology and Statistics . I had seen the requirements on U of T’s website and emailed the admissions department but the lady didn’t give a satisfactory answer so I didn’t even bother applying. Lakehead and Trent were even out of the question due to distance.I just decided to go through the LPN route. Albeit a longer route since my goal is still RN plus my OHST diploma but we shall see. I should know where I stand from next week as colleges will start sending offers to students from next week. Thanks for your input

Just to clarify about Lakehead university.

*Most universities who offer the accelerated BSN will require you pass the prerequisites as part of their application criteria. For these schools the program would normally run for 2 years.

*Lakehead university offers the prerequisites as part of your first year course, including some other core nursing courses. So, you do not need to write the prerequisites before applying. And the accelerated BSN program is 3years (or 2yrs 8months if you count it that way). I think this is fair because if you include the time you need to study for and write the prerequisites before applying to those schools that run the program for 2 years then it adds up.

*To get exemption for the prerequisites, you need to submit your course description from your previous studies. I submitted this and got exemption for statistics. I know someone who got exemption for psychology too. So, in first year I took psychology, anatomy and physiology plus other nursing courses.

* Also, in Lakehead university clinical placement starts from year one whether you're doing the 4yrs degree or accelerated degree. I don't know what is obtainable in other schools.

*The accelerated degree program in Lakehead university is quite intensive. Be ready to STUDY. A lot of students are able to work while going to school, you just have to know your own capabilities and decide how many hours you can sacrifice for work. Also, after your first year you are qualified to work as a PSW ($20.68/hr where I worked).
* About the 10 years timeline, I'm not sure what the conditions are in Lakehead university. But I finished my first degree over 10 years ago and was able to get admission.

Hello.. Your best option is to find out from the admissions department of your potential school. I don’t know if it’s possible to take these courses singly. I was in the same position, I have a science based University degree from Nigeria but I didn’t have two of the required courses - Statistics and Psychology (this was for Uni of Toronto). Some kind hearted NLanders recommended accelerated Nursing programs (a few pages back) in Lakehead University and Trent university (keep in mind that for these schools, you are starting from scratch but instead of the regular four years, you will be spending three years)

Sir/Ma, can you show me where it states that one will be rejected if they applied for a US visa after being a Canadian PR for 6 months or less?

gentleiphy:


10yrs US visa for Canadian PR holders is the usual visa expiry and nothing less sir/ma,...please read what i said..six months after arriving, the i know someone you mentioned has more than 6 months post PR arrival eligibility. Never be too quick to reply a message if you don't understand all the bits and pieces.

I know someone who landed as a PR end of March 2019, applied for a US visa in October and was given 10years.

gentleiphy:


Just the same way when you arrive here as a PR and just six months after arriving you go to apply for US visit visa here in Canada, you will be rejected as they also see it as too short a time for a PR to want to visit US.

Why not go straight into a BSN program? In my school, after year one you're qualified to work as a PSW/HCA. I don't know if it's applicable to where you are. The average duration for an HCA/PSW course is 6 months, while one school session is 8 months. And you can work as an HCA while already on the path to be an RN. Just my own opinion...

olalekan9320:
That's also what I intend doing, someone who already owns a degree don't need to do LPN

It looks like he has a neurological disease....

1. I requested a course-by-course evaluation from WES to be sent to the school. What you need for express entry is a document-by-document evaluation and it won't suffice for academic purposes.

2. I didn't need to take an English exam or submit proof of any.

You can start researching schools to know their specific requirements.

Teni14:
Hello All,
For those who had to go back to school first after landing as PR because they were changing career path ( like doing after degree nursing or a diploma in other fields in college) please

1. Did you have to do a course by course evaluation of past degrees(ECA) aside the one we did for ITA?

2. Is IELTS academic needed for admission or can the general IELTS for express entry process or a letter of English proficiency from your past university acceptable?

Please I will like to know as I am trying to get everything I can get ready while I am still in naija as I might want to go school route when I land.

I am actually in the US presently. I came in on the 5th of October but was told when I was checking in that I would need a Canadian visa for my return leg. My brother here bought the ticket and didn't check the conditions. I did some research and applied for a transit visa online but up till now there has been no update on my account. I have raised CSE three times but I keep getting the same response "your application is still in process". I am really in a fix now because I have contacted the airline and it will cost $1,066 to change my flight route! I just want to go back to Lagos in peace. I can't believe a 1hr20mins layover is giving me all this headache.

zeelo2014:

Just curious, where are you headed to? Alaska or Greenland? There's a huge delay on almost all visas currently, just have to wait or you can raise a CSE, takes 2 weeks or more for a response.

Hello, please how long does it take to get a Canadian transit visa? I have a ticket for the 4th of December, already applied for a transit visa since 10th October but no response or update on my account.

OmoBendel24:


Visa then should be 100CAD each for the 3 of you. When did you give the last biometrics?
