What about someone with 2.6/5 b.tech computer science.

Pls recommend colleges that offer courses in computer science

There is no direct Computer Science course in Colleges, they only have specialized PG courses cos Computer Science is wide

So what area of Computer Science are you looking for? - Networking, Cyber security, Data Analytics, Software Development etc.

@Frankrobbn1 and @lekiboboe

I do not know the both of you, but the way you take your time to attend to questions on this platform baffles me like you both are been paid for the job. Your answers are been broken down to the littlest understanding one could get. Both of you alone are made up of 10 Visa Officers each cos you best know how to tackle their questions.

I really appreciate your effort and I pray God in Heaven will reward you both for your selfless service.

Thanks alot

Hahahahahaha, the bolded is damn hilarious

Thanks SHUGABAN Johnpaul94, nagode sosai

To God be the Glory. AMEN!!!!

HorlarJP:
Okay Hon Lekiboboe, I will let the house knows the outcome because she has waited for over 2 months after her medical has been requested for and she has done it since then. Please how long does it take the medical result to bring PASSED. She said she will check tomorrow morning though but how long in case!.

There is no specific duration for that, it should even be more faster for her to get her Medicals updated to PASSED since she got a medical request, unlike other applicants who did Upfront Medicals and must be sending Webforms (e-medical sheet) countless times to IRCC before their MEDICAL is updated to PASSED

HorlarJP:
Thank you very much ! What if her profile has not been updated to Passed ! Though she haven’t checked but since I have told her she will !

You are welcome.

If her medical is not updated to passed, that means there is a something wrong somewhere.

Ok good, you can let the house know the outcome

Yo Fams
Good afternoon
I have a female close friend processing this Canada.. tho we both did our biometrics November 3 2020, I was declined this January because i can’t seem to provide mybankstatement and IELTS but she provided both and after a month later , she was called for her medicals and she has done it since February and now it’s over 2 months since she has done her medicals and there is no response nor any message on her mails.
Please what can she do? She is really sad and doesn’t know what to do. Any notable answers will be appreciated. Thanks !.
She did her medical February 9 and since then there is no response from IRCC and no mails came in. Please any solution

She should check her PROFILE if her medical has been updated to PASSED, if that is confirmed, that means your Friend's Application has exceeded Standard Processing time

She should do this ASAP,

Ade2303:
Hello all, please I need some clarifications regarding admission. (Asking for someone)

He has completed a ND and HND in physics and electronics in 2018 with a lower credit
He’s 29 years old

He’s aim is to live in Canada at the end of his studies there, but the problem now is which admission is best suitable for his level of study without bringing confusion later to the VO about his purpose of visit?

Will a PGD be a good option? If yes, can you recommend schools that offer that course for the PGD?

Will getting admitted as an advanced entry student be a good option (I.e joining as an undergraduate but starting in year 2 or 3 of the program)? If yes, can you recommend some schools that he can get admitted to with his results?

And finally, will stating from year 1 as an undergraduate not be a red flag to the VO in securing a Study permit with his age? If No, please recommend some schools that offer that course with high acceptance rate.

I’ll be glad to hear from the gurus and be advised too.

Thanks in anticipation.

With an HND , your friends best shot is to apply for a Post Graduate Certificate (PG. Cert) program in a Physics & Electronics related area

He should take his time and google the following
PG. Cert programs related to Physics and Electronics below explicitly and choose one or two that suites him base on his Academic Background & Experience in PHYSICS & ELECTRONICS

Conestoga College, Ontario
- Embedded Systems Development (Optional Co-op) (2 years PGC-Post Graduate Certificate Program)

Fanshawe College, Ontario
PGC, Electronics and Embedded Systems Development

Fleming College, Ontario
PGC Mechatronics

PG. Cert, Applied Electrical Motion and Control Management
Conestoga College, Ontario

PG. Cert, Applied Energy Management
Conestoga College, Ontario

Finally, your friend needs to work on his Admission Preparation before he submit his application owing to his LOWER CREDIT,
the reason he needs to do this is so he can boost his Admission chances despite having a LOWER CREDIT.

To boost his admission chances, he should take his time and go through everything inside the link below, and put it to use when he wants to apply

Jermaie0009:
Good morning, I was told by an agent that to get study visa 2 to Canada that my chances are slim because I am 29 .... want to apply for a postgraduate diploma, how true is this?

Lori IRO....

The agent is Wrong about that, but make sure there is an Academic/Career Progression on any Program you are going for in Canada

If you are a Masters degree holder, work towards applying for PHD program related to what you did in your Masters

If you have a 2.1/Masters and you insist on going for a Post Graduate Diploma, you need to convince a Visa Officer on your SOP why you are going for a PGD instead of a Masters (as a 2.1)/PHD(as a Masters degree holder), cos if you don't, there are chances they would see your purpose of Visit to Canada (to study) as not GENUINE and they will easily have the impression you want to elope to Canada via the study Route.

The gurus can give you some more tips on this

Follow him and read his pinned posts and apply it. Many av testified after making use of the contents in his pinned posts to revamp their search for Professors (Cold Mail), writing SOP for admission etc. and eventually got admission, most especially fully-funded graduate school admissions (MS, PHD, GA, TA, RA)

All da best!

Can I pay for the medicals via transfer or I must go to the bank??

TRANSFER and very importantly, print out the proof of payment and go along with it to the medical Center (IOMHAC)

nickvanilla:
Wow! This thread has been so enlightening, but there's something I've been thinking about.

It seems a candidate with 2:2 at undergraduate level stands a good chance of getting study permit/visa with a certificate program admission, compared to 2:1 candidate.

With a 2:1 you qualify for admission into Master's. So to the Visa Officer, why not go for a Master's instead of a certificate program that will most likely cost more.

Or am I wrong?

@ Lekiboboe please help me here.

To bolded, to some extent YES

For Academic/Career/Logical sake, it is expected of a 2.1 graduate to go for a Masters, but there are 2.1 graduates in this thread who got a PG.Cert admission and got their Study Visa Approved.

If you have a 2.1 and you want to go for a PG. Cert, you have to show cogent reasons in a convincing manner on your SOP why you are going for a PG. Cert instead of a Masters Degree.

Also, a 2.1 graduate can go for a PG. Cert if his/her work experience is not related to the degree he/she had a 2.1 in. Which means this person is going for a PG.Cert program related to his/her Work experience.

To me, Financial Implication (cost) of a program is not an excuse for an Applicant to go for a Program that is cheap despite having a good grade (2.1).

Take a look at this illustration....

Nnena has a 2.1 and applied for a PG. Cert, and her reason for going for PG. Cert is cos she's not financially capable to go for an M.SC, a Visa officer might not likely be satisfied with such excuse, cos a Visa Officer will expect Nnena to be financial ready to go for a Graduate SCH before applying for Study Visa (DUE DILIGENCE)

I will leave he mic to the gurus & other HONORABLES for more inputs on this 2.1 going for PG. Cert Saga

Good morning my people.

Asking for a friend please:

Please links to schools with [/b]postgraduate diploma on film production or business related courses with reasonably low fees[b].

Thank you as always.

Good morning

For Film Production PG programs, your friend should do a thorough google search on this

PG. Cert, Advanced Television and Film – Script to Screen
Centennial College, Toronto, ONTARIO

PG. Cert, Advanced Television And Film
Sheridan College, Oakville, ONTARIO

PG. Cert, Multimedia Storytelling
Mohawk College, ONTARIO

PG. Cert, Documentary & Non-Fiction Media Production
Seneca College, ONTARIO


FOR Business related PG programs,

Your friend should see the link below

https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/644#96730373

About reasonable low fees, I don't know your definition of that, but your friend should be having like $15,000 CAD upward to study a PG program in Colleges.

Your Friend should take his/her time and google the above programs, visit their respective websites to see their tuition amount for international students so as to know the ones that is within his/her budget

Spectro:
Bro, what would you advise I do?

I have been accepted for graduate program in Economics by two universities.

One is giving me scholarship and GA, but it's in the US

One is not providing me full-funding but it's in Canada (just 30% funding)

I have no problem with paying tuition in Canada, but who doesn't like Awoof?

Canada's citizenship package makes sense.

If you had to choose with these conditions, which would you take?

In my own opinion, this can be looked at in different perspectives, but in a nutshell, I feel it depends on ones choice, present financial status & long term goals.

Someone who got Full Funding in the US for a GA (e.g MS Assistantship, PHD Assistantship) can finish & do a PHD in Canada (with 70-80% chances of it being funded) and still work towards the Canadian Citizenship goals.

In your own scenerio, since money no be problem (in Sarkordie's Voice) and Canada Citizenship is the goal, you can go for CANADA (with the 30% funding). It will be better if its a PHD cos many PHD students are potential/automatic graduate assistant to the Prof. they are working with, most esp. if it's an Economics graduate program that requires you to get a Supervisor (Professor).

Like I said initially, those 3-factors mentioned above can be a determinant to ones choice/decision on this.

Let me tell you a real life example

There is one Amazing Scholar on twitter who dish out anything scholarship and how to get one in different parts of the world, he goes by the handle @drolumuyiwa, he is presently a Post Doc at the Mycology/Microbiology Dept. Of UBC.

He did his Masters in Korea (KGSP Scholarship), did his PHD in Germany (I think via DAAD), now at UBC as a PostDoc, if am not mistaken, he is now a PR or on the verge of becoming a PR. You can notice he had international education in two different Continents (Asia & Europe), before coming to Canada (North America).

With wetin this Bros do, No be lie, Canada Citizenship package is fantabolous, las las that would likely be the end product of someone who go US go study.

My Conclusion,
I will go for the US cos it will make me acquire Work Experience as a GA which is Post-secondary teaching and research assistants under NOC A, but schooling in Canada might not afford me to do a Job that can count as a work experience to gain points for Express Entry, most especially if it's not a NOC A, B job, as per say na part time job to pay bills Canada dey offer most international students and many of them no be NOC A,B jobs.

This your question is an interesting one, I go like see more contribution/inputs of other members on top this matter

biolaowo:
I am serious. Some uni i applied to 2 programs

That's serious

I would suggest you try the cold mail approach (i.e mailing a Professor whose research interests/areas aligns with yours, most especially research areas you have prior research experience in). If a Prof. accepts you after sending your cold mail to him, you are good to go, you can be sure if you pay application for this, your money is well spent, infact there are chances application fee can be waived for you.

The link I posted initially have information about COLD MAIL & how you can draft one.

See the link below, you would see other Universities offering
Masters in Chemical Engineering in Canada
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Chemical+Engineering&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

Alternatively,

Try USA (as mentioned above by an honorable member), they have lot of Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Masters program that are Fully-funded, you can also get Graduate Assistantship, Teaching Assistantship etc.
Infact with your CGPA, if you package your application well, you can get a direct PHD program with your BSC in the U.S, al

The Cold Mail approach is also very essential in getting Funding for USA

You can visit the USA Visa Thread on Nairaland for more enquiries and guides
