Free of charge.

When I got to the location, there wasn’t much people. Three of the nurses assigned to give the shot were just sitting and waiting for who to attend to.

In humble opinion, I think the Govt. knows that people are still sceptical/skeptical about Covid-19/vaccine and are very reluctant to be vaccinated. Hence, it is administered free of charge.
The bolded is very true, also lots of Nigerians have a kinda spiritual mindset about the vaccine. cheesy . That's quite superstitious grin

Nice one bro, had my first degree in Agricultural Economics(2013) but have been working with a telecommunications company here for more than 6 years, having your thoughts in mind, I opted for diploma in telecommunications technician in one of the the college in Canada...what do U think?
A PG. Cert program in a Telecommunications related field shows more progression than a Diploma program owing to the fact that you are B.SC holder.

That being said,
What is your Job position & what are your Job Duties in the Telecommunication company for the past 6-years?

Your response to the above question would determine the potential PG. Cert program you can go for or fit in to

Graduating in 2015 shows you have a 6-years Educational Gap. It's advisable you go for a Program that relates to your Work experience, unfortunately, I don't know a PG. Cert program program you can go for as a Former Teacher, but I feel you can consider going for Program that is related to the Job Position you are presently holding at the hotel and your Job Duties.

Can somebody help me out
I had third class in my bsc
And wish to apply for an undergraduate program or diploma course in canada and I don't have ielts yet. Which college can I apply to that can accept third class?
Hello

Why diploma, or an Undergraduate degree when you are suppose/expected to apply for a PG. Cert program as a degree holder.

3rd Class is not a barrier to gain admission to a PG.Cert program in a college, you just have to package your application to boost your admission chances.

A Visa Officer won't agree to the fact u are going for an Ordinary diploma or undergraduate degree cos of what u graduated with.

A B.SC holder going for another Undergraduate degree or a Diploma (which is less than an Undergraduate degree) is big time red flag for most applicants, cos there is a no career/academic/logical progression doing that.

Also you can't just apply to any program in Canada. You either apply to a Program that resonates with what you studied in school or your Job experience.

That being said;

Your response to the following question might give you a new direction to follow

- What did you study in the university ?

- What year did you graduate? (to address educational gap)

- Is your Job/work experience related to what you studied in the University?

Hello, Good morning. Please can anyone suggest an affordable college that is Eligible for post graduate work permit.. I am looking at studying hospitality management.. please I will be waiting for a response. Thank you.
Actually, there is nothing like affordable colleges in Canada except your own definition of "affordable" is different. As an international student, you would pay more than a domestic student.

E.g
If a Canadian pays $9,000 CAD, an international student would pay $15K CAD - $16K CAD. Compulsory Living Expenses of a Minimum of $10,000 CAD is also another thing you should put in mind. So, financial readiness is extremely essential to study in Canada.

That being said,
do a google search on the following programs and look out for the tuition amount for International students, then pick the one that is within your budget.


PG. Cert, Hospitality and Tourism Management
Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology, London, ON

PG. Cert, Global Hospitality Business Development
Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto, ON

PG.Cert, Global Hospitality Operations Management
Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto, ON

PG. Cert, Global Hospitality Services Leadership
Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto, ON

PG. Cert, Hospitality and Tourism Management
Niagara College, Welland, ON

PG.Cert, Hospitality And Tourism Operations Management
Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Toronto, ON

ON means ONTARIO!!!!

Hello Medical Experts in the House.

It's a wonderful news that the 3 days mandatory hotel quarantine and that of the 14days is about to be lifted. This is a welcoming development, however, is it possible to get the two shot of the vaccine before the resumption of the fall session in August and September?

It's very sure most applicants are not fully vaccinated. So what's the way forward?

Lastly, I pray this week favours us all. We are still expecting ppr most march applicants.


It is well !!!!!

Good morning gurus. I am new here. I’ve been going through the thread already, please if I may ask, I’ve noticed that there is no much information about funding and scholarship. Do Canadian universities fund like USA? If yes, does the Canada students visa the same for the funded and self-funded students?
Thanks.
Yes they do, but not as much as US does

Reasons are;

- in Canada is not up to 300,
USA has over 3,000 Universities (OPP, OPG)

- Another reason is CGPA, Loads of USA universities do consider some 2.2 applicants (with the right graduate program application packaging) for Fully-funded Graduate opportunities , unlike Canadian Universities whose requirement is a minimum of 2.1

So based on the above reasons, it is expected that USA would/should have more funding Opportunities than Canada.

I read a tweet yesterday, and I quote,

If you’re looking for a country where you can easily get an admission, consider UK

If you’re looking for a country where you have better scholarship options, consider US

If you’re looking for a country where you have better chances of getting a foreign passport, consider Canada

If getting a scholarship is a big part of your study abroad plans, and getting one in Canada is looking elusive, you can work out a smart plan

Consider the US as a study destination, and work towards your Canadian Permanent Residence application from there.


That’s a smart plan.

To your Second Question,
"Is the Canada students visa the same for the funded and self-funded students?

Yes it is , but there is a way they have to Show their proof of funds (based on the tution waiver + stipends gotten) and Compulsorily Show Strong Ties to their home country (that is, after their Studies in Canada, they would come back to their home country) since they are not sponsored by their Family (Dad, Mum or Sibling)

Hello house. good afternoon, please I need a good advice from gurus on what to do
I want to study in Canada for masters of engineering or science
And my credentials includes the following.

NECO result with combination of C6 and C5
Undergraduate,(B.eng) with CGPA of 3.16

My question is that , will I be able to secure admission with what I have
Also what are the other things that I need for a successful application

Also is NECO accepted in Canada. Thank you
I doubt if WAEC or NECO result influences admission decisions of admission committee on an applicant for Masters. Hopefully GRADUATES SCHOLARS on this platform would shed more light on that for you.

Bachelor's degree (a minimum of 2.1) is what is mostly required to do a Masters in Canada . Your TRANSCRIPT (student copy also known as unofficial copy) is one of the most important Document needed to apply. So you need to get it from your school in Nigeria.

There are two types of Masters degree - Course-Based Masters & Research-Based Masters (also known as thesis-based masters)

If you are going for a Research-based Masters in Canada, you need to secure a Supervisor (Professor),once the supervisor accepts you to his Research group/Lab, that's a green light you have gotten the admission. The prof. would guide you further on the next step.

If you are going for a Research Based Masters in CANADA, take your time and go through all contents in the link below
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/175#102878887

Course-based Masters has nothing to do with Research. You would only be going for lectures.

Lastly no one can tell if you would get admission with the mentioned CGPA, cos 2.1 is the minimum admission requirements for Masters in Canada, though some have mentioned on this forum that they got a Masters Admission with a 2.2. So it might be possible.

That being said, await more contributions from others to your question

Please family,i want the website for sending coldmails when in search of a supervisor,pls i need it Family
Why you should Cold Mail Professors if you are looking For FULLY-FUNDED GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN CANADA (STEM/NON-STEM)

To get a FULLY-FUNDED GRADUATE opportunity in CANADA it's very possible, but you have to be very intentional about it and not lazy, then package your documents very well to submit a strong and airtight application.

Note: This is strictly for those interested in GRADUATE RESEARCH, if you know you are not interested in Research, ignore this post, cos there was a news I heard recently whereby a Graduate student fell into depression and did the unthinkable. MENTAL STRENGTH is very essential to go through GRADUATE SCHOOL

So,
I would be using a Graduate of Geophysics (B.SC holder) for illustration

Google for Geophysics Professors in the Canada whose Research areas aligns with your Research interests, then draft a dope Academic CV (your Research interests must be on your Academic CV), and send a non-generic Cold Mail to them each. Make sure your Academic CV and your Transcript are attached whenever you send cold mails to Profs.

See the link below for a
Standard Academic CV for MASTERS & PH.D Admission (LINK FOR PDF FILE)

https://www.oise.utoronto.ca/orss/UserFiles/File/Creating_your_academic_cv_handout_1.pdf

As a Prospective Graduate Student (Masters/PHD/Post Doc)), you need to have the following documents to kick start your GRADUATE SCHOOL JOURNEY in CANADA

- Academic CV (North-American Style & Well drafted)
- Transcript (get the student Copy from your school)
- Cold Mail (To be drafted & sent to each professors based on their research areas as it aligns with your research interests)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) for GRADUATE School (not SOP for Visa Application)
- Cover Letter (if required)
- Published Thesis (might be helpful) but not Compulsory etc.

See the link below to know how to search for PROFESSORS in Canadian Universities whose Research Areas align with your research interests
https://www.nairaland.com/3466778/scholarships-international-students-apply-here/95#101532358

See the link below for Samples of result-oriented Cold Mails (4-Samples)
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/103#102538464

Something you should be careful of about COLD MAIL

Don't send a generic cold mail to professors.

That is,
" Don't send the Cold Mail meant for Dr. Cardozo to Dr. Arinola"

In a nutshell, don't send one mail copy to multiple profs.

Make sure you take your time to tailor your cold mail in accordance to the RESEARCH AREAS of each Professors.

Also Learn how to Normalize Rejections from Professors. Don't give up after getting some rejections from Profs. I know a bros who have Cold Mailed over 65 profs., it was in his 66th attempt to one Prof. like that he got a Fully-funded Graduate from a Canadian University.

Winter (January) or Fall (September) 2022 PHD admission intake should be your target, so you can start cold mailing Professors by July 2021

Note: Fall (September) is the intake that funded graduate offers are mostly available for PROSPECTIVE GRAD. STUDENTS
