God bless you for the good job you are doing here sir. Please I want to start processing My masters in Canada, I currently have two courses in mind , public administration and information technology. I have made some research but I haven't really gotten the needed answers.

How much do you think it would cost me sir? I'm talking about a cheap and affordable school sir.

Well you having two courses in mind is good, both having two courses that is not related to each other is very wrong.

You can only do an M.SC in a program you have educational background in (A Bachelor's Degree).

If you studied Computer Science or related course, then you can go for a Masters in Information Technology or related Course

If you studied Public Administration (Bachelor's Degree), then its expected of you to go for a Masters in Public Administration, Human Resources Management (HRM) or other related Course.

First Class or 2.1 is the admission requirement for an M.SC program in Canada

About How much it will cost you,
You would need to check the tuition amount for International students the program in the school you want to study

And also have a compulsory $10,000 CAD available

You can read the information in the link below for some helpful information
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/558#96300254

There is no cheap school in Canada, also it depends on your definition of Cheap & Affordable Schools

International Students Pay more in terms of tuition than Domestic Students, so financial Readiness is very essential to come study in Canada.

If you have a 2.1 or First Class in Information Technology (Computer Science) you can hustle and work towards getting a Funded Masters program (Fully Funded or Partially Funded). Though not easy, but if you are able to getting, It would help with reduce the Burden of your Finance.

You can read on that in the link below

Indeed you are right. So let me say I am more concerned about what it really takes. From all my research getting accepted by a professor is based on how well the professor thinks I may be of impact in his work.
So I am looking at a PhD in biochemistry, university of Manitoba.
It is clearly stated I have to be accepted by a processor before proceeding to fill the application form.
I want to know if I am able to get a supervisor is that a sure guarantee of getting admission and if yes does that mean the visa application is just a straight forward process. All the schools I am looking at do not require IELTS, would I be able to process visa even if I don't write IELTS
These are only. Few of my concerns.

By the way ,

Check out this Approval Story of a Graduate Student in the link below

https://www.nairaland.com/5233221/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/170#80759092

She has your exact kind of academic profile.

She applied to the same school (U of M) and same program (Biochemistry) and got full-funding ($23,000 CAD) am sure you will learn one or two things from her SUCCESS STORY, DOCUMENTS SHE SUBMITTED FOR HER STUDY VISA & THE WAY SHE PACKAGED IT

Thank you so much for your response

I'm based in Ibadan. Can I visit any Dhl office in Ibadan to send it or do I need to travel down to Lagos?

You are welcome

I think you can visit a DHL office in Ibadan to submit your Passport, but you need to confirm first, cos not all DHL offices dispatch this kind of Documents
e.g the DHL in NAHCO, at Lagos International Airport don't dispatch such documents.

Probably Ibadan-Based members in this forum who submitted their Passport & Documents via DHL will be able to direct you to the DHL Branch in IBADAN you can submit your Passport.

UPS is another Alternative

. You are such a wonderful person, I really appreciate this , God will bless you. pls out of this colleges , which of the school grant admission easily , I'm asking cos of his grade . thank u

You are Welcome, Amen!!

Non I know of

Most colleges don't state in their Admission requirements that
"an applicant must have a 2.1/2.2 or required CGPA to apply",

So he is at liberty to apply to any of them, but he should do his research on all the programs first.

By the way, you can wait for possible reviews from other members who might give you a based on experience response to that question of yours, and if there is non, your brother just have to take the bull by the horn and do his due diligence

Mozidat2301:
hello house, pls I need a school in Canada that will give admission to my bro with a third class from uni of Bowen. pls , it's very urgent. he studied degree in history and international studies. pls help!!!

There is more to just getting Admission in Canada. If your bro. gets an Admission, he should be ready to show Future goals/Career Prospect of what ever program he would going for cos how the program resonates to his First Degree is one of the thing a Visa Officer looks out for.

Getting Admission is Important, getting Study Visa Approved is IMPORTANTA

All of that will be explained in an SOP (Statement of Purpose)

SOP Step-by-Step Guidelines
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part#88892909

https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/1#88913289

The above Program your bro. studied at Bowen University is mostly available for Masters,
unfortunately his 3rd Class won't qualify him to apply for a Masters in History & International Relations program in Canada

So with his 3rd class, he is only eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Certificate (PG. Cert) program that relate to his History & International Relations degree, but he has to convince the Admission Committee he would be a good fit for the program despite having a 3rd class.

He should go through this content

Possible Solution/Way for a 3rd class Graduate to get Admission for a PG. Cert program in a College
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/700#97090650


That bin said, I doubt if there is a PG.Cert program that is related to History & International Relations.

Your Brother needs to be Creative to possibly get an admission, cos
- his 3rd Class might be seen as a Poor Academic Standing
- he would need to be creative in connecting his First degree with another degree.

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

Why did I say so,

with a Bachelor's degree in History & IR &
a PG. Cert in Journalism,

- He 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.

- He 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.

This are just tips & possible Reasons for him to study a PG. Cert in Journalism, despite having an History & International Degree. He can do more research on Google to see how International Relations relates with Journalism.

Sequel to that,
your brother 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

journalism (Post Diploma)
College of the North Atlantic (CNA), Stephenville, NewFoundLand & Labrador

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

After he has done his due diligence about the above schools, he can check like decide on colleges that suites him to know his chances of getting the Admission & apply to like 2 schools, cos application fee is within $95 CAD & $100 CAD, but if you have funds to apply to more than 1 or 2 schools, do so.


THIS IS JUST MY OWN OPINION, YOU CAN AWAIT MORE ADDITIONAL RESPONSE FROM THE GURUS & HONORABLE MEMBERS IN-HOUSE

Sharonyeah:
So sorry about your Refusal Sharon,

Why you await response from the guru/gurus

Purpose of Visit means the visa officer is not convinced that you will leave Canada after your degree program, there are lots of reasons to this, one of them is wrong career/academic progression.

@ Lekiboboe: Thanks so much for the prompt response. I totally agree with you on getting GCMS notes which I will order for immediately.

I actually think it is more of Career Progression because the VO stated that based on level of qualification, establishment and so am not sure you will leave Canada and what I applied for initially was Ordinary Diploma even though I am graduate of Mechanical Eng.

It will end in praise.

You are welcome, Amen!

Additionally,

You can also google and research this program below and see if it resonates with ur Mechanical Engineering background, most especially its curriculum (course outlines)

PG. Cert in Quality Engineering Management
Lambton College, Ontario

This is to encourage all those who have been delayed of their visa in the past.
I submitted my first application on 10/10/2019 for a PhD in industrial systems engineering and got denied on Nov 2019 with an upfront medicals.
Reason.Purpose of visit and family ties.
I applied again on DEC 2019 without applying for Gcms note and got rejected again on January 2019.
Reason. Current employment situation and family ties.
Before I applied the third time,I joined nairaland but never asked any question or posted anything,but I kept following what MR frank was always advising.I now applied the third time through paper application on Feb.24/2020.
They demanded submission for my new admission letter on 9/14/2020 which I submitted the same day.
I got AIP on 9/25/2020
Redo medical on 10/19/2020
I did my medical on 3/11/2020 and IOM told me it has been sent to embassy on 5/11/2020
I didn't care to link the account to online account.
I got BVL on 1/20/2020
Then approval on 1/25/2020.

Never lose hope cos it must surely end in praise.

MsJanez01:
Good morning Justwise,
Is there a particular way of applying for NSE. Most applicants I know got the NSE notification after applying through the normal route

Secondly for people that have funds in Mutual investment, what's their alternative to mybankstatement?

To your first question,

it's the same way you will apply for the Regular Channel you will apply for the NSE route, the only difference is the way NSE route requires you to do Proof of Funds i.e MybankStatement Ticket & the amount $30,000 CAD & the English test (IELTS) requirement.

If you submit the above required NSE documents together with other Documents for your study VISA APPLICATION, your application will be processed via the NSE route.

It's even safe to say that if they don't get back to you after 20-30 days of submitting your application (NSE Processing time) , you are at liberty to send a Webform & Mails to IRCC and tell them your Application has exceeded the standard processing time of 20 days. An UPRONT Medicals might possibly expedite this process (I stand to be corrected on this).
