I think it's better taking both in Nigeria or taking both when u get to Canada cause being half vaccinated doesn't exempt you from quarantine in Canada. My opinion
i concur with you on the bolded, that's undisputed, the question is;

"CAN ONE TAKE THE FIRST DOSE IN NIGERIA, AND TAKE THE SECOND IN CANADA?"

Asking for someone

Thanks

Or

compulsorily, both doses must be taken Nigeria

[quote author=pepper247 post=104132154][/quote]Since there is no too obvious study gap (graduated 2018), You can either go for a PG. Cert program related to Economics or go for a PG. Cert program related to your Fed. Govt. Job & Job Duties (though you didn't mention the name of the Fed. Government Job & your Job duties to get possible program suggestions)

As an Economics graduate, I feel you can go for a PG. Cert in FINANCIAL PLANNING, that being said, see the link below, google each programs, check the overview, tuition amount for international students, admission intake,
also very importantly, check their course outlines to see how it resonates with your economics background

It is not a MUST, the clinic is going to send it to them, however since it will not cost you anything to send to them, you may.
For the sake of application expedition
it is very essential for him to send it. With the present backlogs from IRCC as regards application processing, in his best interest he should send it.

Good morning all,

For those that did their Upfront Medicals after their applications have already begun processing.
Did you send the 'E-Medical' information sheet to IRCC yourself via Webform or was everything handled by the Clinic without you sending anything?

Thanks.
Yes the Clinic would send your Upfront medical assessment to IRCC, but you as the applicant must send the E-medical sheet via Webform and mail to IRCC Nairobi

Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories ! grin
It's a WIN

Congratulations on the Success of your Study Visa Application

Since your admission to a Course-based Masters program in a university ain't working out, you can apply for a specialized PG. Cert Computer Science related program

See the link below for

Computer Science Related PG cert programs
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/418#103972127

Make sure the Branch of Computer Science that has a PG. Cert program applicable to you based on your background or Job experience is what you should go for.

Just make sure you state in your SOP with cogent reasons why you chose to go for a PG. Cert program instead of a Masters degree (thesis-based or Course-based)

As regards writing SOP, go through all contents in the link below
https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/523#100849022

Note: Because you didn't get admission to the two Universities mentioned is not a cogent reason why you decided to go for a PG. Cert program in Canada

Good luck!!!

Securing admission in Canada is not easy at all
@Lekiboboe, please suggest courses
and colleges/universities for someone following;
BSc Accounting (2/2, 2008)
Msc Policy Analysis (2016)
ANAN (2017)
Over 10 years work experience as an Internal Auditor in a Federal Government agency.
I need to get an admission ASAP.
THANK YOU
Based on your 10 years Work Experience as an Internal Auditor , you can go for a PG. Cert in Accounting, but it's more better you go for a more specialized PG. Cert accounting program that has course outlines in;

- Fraud investigation
- Law
- Criminology
- Forensic Accounting
- Computer forensics
- Data mining
- Advanced financial accounting
- Auditing theory
- Accounting ethics
- Taxation of business entities etc.

In another instances, you can choose a PG. Cert Accounting program that has audit specialization, including courses that cover topics like:

- Applied auditing
- Accounting for acquisitions and mergers
- Advanced auditing
- Information management and analytics technology

Reason are, you won't just be going for a conventional accounting program since you are a B.SC holder in Accounting, and your 10 years job experience as an Internal Auditor is more on accounting, you should be going for a course in another dimension of Accounting & Auditing

That being said,

See the link below & google the Accounting related PG. Cert programs, check their course outlines, overview, tuition amount for international students, admission intake etc. make your choice then apply

https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/247#103188415

Why do most people prefer colleges to universities in canada
Below are Some reasons I feel people Prefer Colleges, and I would be talking based on Post Graduate Certificate - PG. Cert (this is based on my own little research & the below content is open to scrutiny)

- There are 2.1/first Class Graduates who are not interested in doing a Masters, so they opt for PG. Cert programs in Colleges cos some of them needs hands-on experience required by Canadian Employers, which PG.Cert in Colleges offer, though for them to apply for a study Visa they must explain with very cogent reasons on their SOP why they are going for a PG. Cert programs instead of a a Masters degree.

You might need to watch this brief YouTube video to see the reasons why some people go for College programs, most especially PG.Cert Programs. There is an assumption in the Canadian Job Markets that Master Degree holders are over qualified for a Particular position cos even the boss of the Organization/firm is just an ordinary diploma holder, but only upgraded himself with relevant certifications and relevant skills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0YlD2MU010

If you love Research and you want to be an Academia or you are going for an Health/Medicine Related field, a Masters degree, PHD would be essential.

- There are people with 2.1 or First Class with 5-10years Work Experience in a Job not related to what they study, such person can't do a Masters so they opt for PG.Cert programs related to their work experience from a college

- 2.2 or 3rd Class is not able to go for Masters, but are eligible for a PG. Cert program in a college as related to their degree.

- Admission to most colleges don't take long, and requirements are not harsh, unlike the requirements for Masters, PHD.

- College Programs (PG. Cert) are flexible

Am sure there are more reasons why some people opt for college than a university, await more contributions from the house

Good morning great minds.

I got a friend who wants to travel August 13th, and enter Canada August 14th (the next day) - Flight Booked Already

She did her Medicals August 14th 2020, ideally
it should be valid till August 14th, 2021 but
recently, IRCC sent her a mail that her medicals would expire August 17th, so which date should she rely on? The date on the mail notification from IRCC (August 17th) or the August 14th she did the medicals.

Presently she doesn't have a budget to do another medicals.

I want to know if it's safe for her to travel August 13th & enter Canada August 14th

Thank you so much lekiboboe. i intend specialising in Finance. Research interests are in Corporate finance and investment banking or international finance.
You are welcome Chief.

Of a truth, the Non-STEM graduates I have seen so far that got Fully-funded Graduate offer from Canadian & US Universities are those in
- History
- International Relations
- Political Science
- Language & Linguistics etc.

I haven't really come across Non-STEM in Management areas that got Fully-funded Graduate offer in a Canadian or US universities.

But I feel the possible game changer for you is if you can tailor your Non-STEM Management Research Interests to STEM cos have seen posts on twitter whereby some two guys in Banking & Finance field have to tailor their Research to STEM , which enabled them get a Fully-funded Graduate offer.

How can you do that?

Since you specialise in Finance & your Research interests are on
- Corporate finance and investment banking or international finance, if you are skilled in Data Analytics (Python, SQL, R-progam, Advanced Excel, SAS etc.), you can easily go for RESEARCH INTERESTS in Business Analytics, cos your skills in Business Analytics can be applied to Corporate Financing, investment banking , international finance
