Hi, please I also want to know chances for a third class. I won't mind if I can get list of few schools that do accept third class for masters course. Thanks.

With a 3rd Class, you can't apply for an MSC in Canada, your best shot is to apply to a college for a PG. CERT PROGRAM that relates to your B.SC or HND Degree or a PG. Cert program that relates to your job

Sequel to that,
- what did you study in school?
- What is the name of your Job?
- Do you have study gaps (what year did you graduate)?

you might just get suggestions here on PG. Cert Programs and colleges you can apply to based on your response to the above questions

Good evening guys........I am asking for a friend. She Studied animal nutrition and biotechnology, faculty of agricultural science with CGP2.78(2.2)....which course Will fit in for a postgraduate program in Canada.

@Lekiboboe

Your Friend should take her time & google the Programs in the links below and their school thoroughly, it's possible she might see a Post Graduate program that fits her (based on her previous degree)

But I'm seeing 150CAD here , are we to pay the rest while going for biometric or what?

Shey looto , you are to pay all at once- $253CAD

$150CAD - Study Permit fee
$85 CAD - BIOMETRICS fee

equals $235CAD

Only a 2nd time applicant is expected to pay $150 CAD cos they have done BIOMETRICS before (which is valid for 10 years)

Ketima:
You're really doing good sir. Please someone wants to PGD, she read history and hd 2.2. please kindly help with courses she can go for. She doesn't wants schools in Ontario nd BC, but other province cos of Tuition rate and living expenses.

Thanks Shugaban

With a 2.2 in History, the PGD/PG.CERT program that came to my mind is JOURNALISM.

Your sister needs to be Creative & do some packaging to possibly get an admission, cos she would need to connect her First degree (History) with another degree (Journalism). A Cover Letter might be very essential as a supporting document for her admission application cos the school would most likely make a decision based on her HISTORY DEGREE TRANSCRIPT, that been said a COVER LETTER might just be a game changer for her. The essence of this Cover letter is to show the admission committee that she's gonna be a good fit for the program despite being an History Graduate.

See the link below for a
COVER LETTER SAMPLE FOR POST GRADUATE ADMISSION IN A CANADIAN COLLEGE attachment (in blue colour)

https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/414#95068409

Reason why am suggesting she should go for a PG. Cert in Journalism is because this could make him have a Career Prospects/Future Goals in INTERNATIONAL & HISTORICAL JOURNALISM

Why did I say so,

with a Bachelor's degree in History , pursing a PG. Cert in Journalism means,

- She can be concerned with human rights and issues relating to war and peace, and he might be looking for the opportunity to develop the journalistic skills necessary to communicate this to a wider public.

- She can have the opportunity to undertake the academic analysis of a range of critical approaches to the study of war and the media, journalism and conflict resolution and journalism and international human rights.

- Journalism offers several specializations, including business, art, politics, and news. A background in history would give her perspectives on a variety of topics, which can help her draw comparisons to current trends and issues. A history degree also develops the research and writing skills she need to effectively write for journals, newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

These are just tips & possible Reasons for her to study a PG. Cert in Journalism, despite having an History Degree. She can do more research on Google to see how History relates with Journalism cos she's gonna be talking seriously about the above on her SOP (to convince a VISA OFFICER) when she wanna apply for her study visa

Sequel to that,
your Sister should do a thorough research (google) on the following PG. Cert in Journalism programs in Canadian Colleges & check their Admission, Tuition amount for international students, course outlines etc.

- PG. Cert in Journalism & Communication
Holland College, Prince Edward Island
https://www.hollandcollege.com/programs/journalism-and-communications-post-graduate-certificate.html#program1

- PG Cert, Broadcast journalism – Television News
Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology, London, ON

PG. Cert in journalism – New Media
Sheridan College, Oakville, ON

journalism (Postgraduate)
Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Toronto, ON

PG. Cert in journalism – Arts and Entertainment
Centennial College, Toronto, ON

Sports journalism (PG. Cert)
Centennial College, Toronto, ON

PG. Cert in Contemporary journalism
Centennial College, Toronto

About the exclusion of BC & Ontario as her province to study, she should check the tuition of each schools to determine that so she can know the one's within her budget

That bin said, Financial Readiness is very essential if she wanna study in Canada

Await more inputs to your enquiry

Good afternoon honorables

Quick enquiry!!!

@Frankrobbn1, @JustMellow @Anon123 @Honorable members

I have someone who intends travelling to Canada by around early July. Her school is in Ontario, she would be doing her 3 days Hotel Quarantine & the Remaining 14 days in ONTARIO, then after the 14 days, she would travel to SASKATCHEWAN to stay with her aunt (for like 1.5 month) before she resumes to her school in ONTARIO by early September .

I want to know the possibility of this owing to COVID-19 Pandemic.

Thanks

AdoChel:
Is a 4-page statement of purpose too long? Particularly when there was a lot to explain.

No it's not too long, there are applicants who have written 6-7 pages and got approval, also some wrote 2-pages SOP and got approval

Everyone has different stories, it all depends on the Content of the SOP (what the Visa Officer Expects) and how it was written & structured.

EmeeNaka:
while booking this Medical appointment, the place they asked 'Family Member', what will I fill there? I am the only one that want to go for the test. Thanks

Since you are the only member of your family going for the medicals you are to select 1

Kunfu:

Please how much is the student visa application

OmaJoe1:
Hello NairaLanders,
When booking for medical screening at Q-Life or IOM, does one make the payment at the hospital or when booking for the appointment? I want to know if the payment is made at the hospital or when one books for appointment with the panel physicians.

Thank you in anticipation for an answer.

God bless.

I know of IOM, IOM, Lagos to be precise

You Pay, then you book

You are to pay for the medicals (PREFERABLY MOBILE TRANSFER), screenshot & print out the EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT , then take it with you together with your BOOKING APPOINTMENT INFORMATION and INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT to IOM Lagos

AfroBeatDiary:
All panel physicians in Lagos are booked! Somebody said I should check children practice but they are not listed here https://secure.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

Any help on getting medicals done?

You are to do your MEDICALS in either

IOM (Lagos or Abuja)

or

Q-life (Lagos)

Unfortunately, any medical done outside the above two Clinics is not recognized by IRCC, reasons why Children Practice ain't on the list you checked

Emmytobs:

BenedictStinson:
Please I'm concerned with an issue. I have a B.sc Computer science but I want to apply for Economics, Business Admin or something similar for Masters. I have 3 years experience as an inventory officer in a supermarket. Would that be possible?

The chances of you getting Admission for a a Masters in Economics, business admin etc. is slim cos you don't have an Academic Background in them. Based on your work experience as an inventory officer , your best move is to go for a PG. Cert program related to your INVENTORY OFFICER job.

Also, it's likely you can be eligible for an MBA.

Do await more inputs from the gurus & other members

OmaJoe1:
Good morning guys,
I trust we all are doing well.
Please how much does the medical screening cost at IOM and q-life family clinic?

Thanks in anticipation for your prompt answer.

IOM (Lagos or Abuja) - #46,500

Guys please which is more preferable to use. My siblings birth certificate or international passport data page?

Also, is it necessary I state that my brother is not in the country or I just state that he is gainfully employed?

Thanks much.

In my own opinion as regards the bolded, birth certificate is the best, cos it will show you were given birth by same father & mother

Do await a response to your 2nd Question

LadyBlaq:
Good morning house.

I got a call from IOM Abj that test result is ready and they would be sending it to IRCC soon. They said it was ok. I asked if I could also get a copy of the result and the lady at the end of the line said NO. She said they don't send a copy of the result to applicant.

I thought I read somewhere here that one could also get a copy of the result via mail? Did I read wrong?

To the bolded , No you didn't

Probably IOM Abuja don't offer such service (sending a Medical test result to applicants).

But IOM Lagos do send test results to applicants if they ask for it (by mail)

Dear Spectro,
Please what if I finished school in 2019 and due to the covid19, I've wasn't able to secure a job throughout 2020. What should I write? Fresh graduate or how will I put it. Though I've been doing some online businesses since then through my Facebook page.

Pls advice.

Did you do NYSC?

Spectro:
Brother, I apologize profusely for replying so late. I did not know you asked me too.

Yeah, I read on that their website (Canada visa stuff) that one must take another medical examination after expiration if they have not yet traveled.

For example, if someone gets visa in August 2021, they must take another medical examination August 2022 as long as they have not yet traveled.

No problem Shugaban Spectro

Ok, thanks so much

So its safe to say that for instance,

"an Applicant who did Medicals in August 15, 2020, got study visa December 2020 (for a Fall 2021 program) and wants to travel July 20 , 2021" is good to go opia?
