Businessmovemen:
Hello guys, please I have a very important question am about to merge and upload my documents, I have all documents except for hometie aside using my sponsor property what else can I use. I don't have any business, employment or property to proof I would return any advice please.

As regards Ties to Home Country,

U can add this:

- Picture of you and your sponsor - old (as a kid) and new
(if you snapped a picture with him on your convocation, you can use that)
- Sibling Birth Certificate/Certificates
- Picture of you and your Sibling/Siblings (old and new - as Kids and as Adults)

Apart from your Career Prospects & Your Sponsors Landed Property/Properties that can compel you to come back home, your cultural obligation to take care of your parents and siblings are also reasons to show you would return back to Nigeria after your studies

SwayB:

Good morning Honorables,

Hello nairalanders
I studied Human Physiology from one of Nigerian state owned university.

I graduated with second class lower division on a GPA of 3.3

I would love to go for masters program in Canada but most of the universities require second class upper division as a basic requirement.

Please are there other Canadian universities that accepts second class lower?
Thanks

Hi Honorable 234dm,

No there are no universities that accepts 2.2

To study in Canada with your 2.2,

a PG.Cert or Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Human Physiology or related field is what you should go for

dannybomb:
Can I send you a pm please

Hon. Danny,

Well, I don't av a response to your answer, so sequel to that, if u send me a PM it doesn't change anything.

I strongly suggest you make enquiries from members & gurus in house.

They will be able to help you and give u based on experience result-oriented response

Thanks

dannybomb:
This will be difficult as the person am talking about is bearing different name, boss I gat lots of questions will it be fine if I send you a pm please

Well..
in that case, I think you should enquire from members in house on a possibility of using an Uncle with a different Surname, most esp. members who have been successful doing that

dannybomb:
Boss what if I have a sponsor over there?
I have an uncle who works in Canada

Though the preferable sponsors are always Mum, Dad or Siblings.

In this your scenerio, if your Uncle bears the same surname with you, yes you can use him as a Sponsor.

So he will have to explain why he is sponsoring u and some other information necessary for him to show that he is capable and ready to Sponsor you

He has to show that if he stands as ur sponsor (pay ur Tuition, and make available the $10,000 CAD for your one year living Expenses) he would still av substantial money left in his account for himself.


Since your uncle is your Sponsor, he can use the sample below to write/draft his own Letter of Sponsorship, he should change the Father to Uncle, and avoid plagiarism of that sample to the barest minimum

dannybomb:
I will do that, though the amount is really huge, was hoping I could run this stuff with 1 to 1.5 million but when I went through the thread saw I needed like 3.5 million to make it happen.

It would even be more than that, cos apart from Tuition, your one year Living EXPENSES is around 3 Million Naira ($10,000 CAD) and it's mandatory for you to show that

So in a nutshell, financial readiness is very essential

dannybomb:
Thanks I appreciate a lot

You are welcome,

To add to ur list, you can also google

- PG. Cert in Finance

SwayB:
Thank you for the response. Can you please recommend cheap schools to pursue a computer based course?

You are welcome

Education is not cheap in Canada, u av to prepare yourself financially, cos apart from showing u have the Tuition, compulsorily, u av to show you have your One year Living Expenses of $10,000 (that's around 3 million).

SwayB:
Hi guys. I know this has probably been answered before but is it possible for someone who graduated with a third class to pursue a masters in Canada or you have to pursue the PGD/PG first?

From Posts made in this forum about your question

Its PG. Cert first, then if u have very good grades you can den pursue a Masters

Dampops:
Hello bro,
The process has been haphazard and it seems VFS Abuja and Lagos are on the different service wavelengths. However, what has been established so far are:
1. The process of passport return takes minimum of 2 weeks from when you send to VFS till they send a notification that your package has been received back from IRCC
2. Once you get that notification, try to reach them on phone to prompt a follow up email from them which contains the consent form and payment details. It seems the new fate of N12,750 was effective November 1, 2021. So for those who sent their passports this month, they are paying that. Please note that this mail could drop in your junk or spam box, so always check that. The new consent form has a space for inputting the address you want your documents sent to...

Therefore, if you just sent your passport under two weeks, you’ll have to calm down and wait for the notification/message from VFS/IRCC. In fact, once you get the ‘do not reply’ message from IRCC which shows details of your counter foil, then it means the TRV has been stamped and passport about to be sent back to VFS.

Hope this helps...

P.S: Pardon any typos...had to rush this...

Oga oooo,

Thanks so much for the detailed information & the eye openers, I do appreciate

Sequel to your response,

dannybomb:
Am new here, Please I have lots of questions, and would appreciate answers from you guys, am currently a HND (polytechnic) graduate, and would love to further my studies, I would love to know the programs out there to apply as polytechnic graduate, and also the process involve with affordable college to apply for, lastly the amount needed to make this happen.

Please I will appreciate all suggestions and answers as I look forward to getting started on this
Thanks

Hi,

With an HND, the program qualification u can go for is a Post Graduate Certificate (PG. Cert). in Canadian Colleges

If you can mention what u studied in your polytechnic, then members in house can be able to suggest programs u can go for, and note that the program u can go for must relate/align with what you studied or Job you are doing that is not related to what u studied in school (work experience)

As regards Affordability , Education in Canada is not cheap, you have to be financially ready.
After showing proof of funds for TUITION of over $14,000 CAD (depending on the program), u av to show availability of $10,000 CAD for your One year living Expenses (compulsorily)

Emmy2009:
Hello guys. Please I need help. And I will appreciate any answers I can get.
I'm a lawyer. Certified and trained in Nigeria for over 3 years now. I'm hoping to migrate to Canada and I'm prepping up to write the IELTS exams soon. I graduated with a 2.2 here in Nigeria in 2015 so I cant go for the full fledged masters because of that so I'm aiming for a diploma in something legal related in Canada and hopefully might upgrade to a masters in the future if I see the need to. I was wondering, hows it like migrating to Canada and practicing law there. MOST people I spoke to about the whole migrating thing adviced that's it's pretty difficult to get admission in a school in Canada if you dont go for a course which you already have a background on. So my questions are.
1. Is it easy to get a law practicing job or a job relating to the legal profession in general in Canada.
2. I'm not really a do or die lawyer so I dont mind having another profession after schooling there as long as it's a clean,professional and comfortable job. Because of this, is it reasonable to just forget the law thing and start thinking of something else if possible?
3. If 2 above is reasonable, what other options should I be opened to. The major point is to get a job in Canada, what sort of profession can someone easily get a job.
Thanks for the replies

I don't know how things work in Law,

You might need to enquire more information before making a move on this

but since you have a 2.2 in Law,

good morning to everyone here today dropping good news et all. i'm still on the search for a PGD program in social sciences in a cheap tuition school. I cant apply at New Brunswick anymore because the program i was going for has been occupied and moved to waitlist. Please make una help me .... i don search tire

That's the cheapest you might likely see.

I guess its cos of the cheapness that's why international srudents bombarded & exhausted the whole seats @ NBCC

Is PG. Cert in HR @ NSCC also occupied?

Iceman2020:
Thanks a lot bro.

I have done this thing more than 6 times last week, I just did another one again.

It's not easy bro.

Make sense,

Don't worry, sit back, relax & expect that Favorable outcome.

All the best!!!

Good Morning everyone.

Congratulations to you, The good news is coming for you.

Hoping to get PPR now!

God no go shame us.

Hello Lekiboboe,

As Choc as earlier suggested, the UK isn't a bad destination for health workers.

In respect to Canada, EE would be suitable if he can be patient enough to build about 2-3yrs work experience as a 'Doctor.' He may also learn French to claim up to 25 points or 50 points for bilingual. This may help boost the points lost for work experience. The current CRS score isn't looking nice as it jumped from 471 to 478 due to the points upgrade for French. Nobody knows what the score may be like between the next 12 months. Since he has age at his side, he should consider it as a long term project and work to attain the required work experience.

As Choc also stated, he may look up some courses in medical fields or closely related field that shows study progression. His best option in my opinion for him to immigrate to Canada is via EE or SP route.

All the best

Alright JustMellow, roger that.

I will let him know about all the Pointers you mentioned so he can get prepared

Gob bless You!!!

Chocs:
Hello Lekiboboe,

For a foreign trained doctor to be able to practice as a medical doctor in Canada, they must fulfill the below steps.

1. His Medical degree must be recognized by Canada.

You can check the World Directory of Medical Schools
to see if his university is listed

2. Get his medical degree verified by MCC (medical council of Canada)

3. Pass the MCCQE Part I exam (medical council of Canada qualifying examination)

4. you must submit acceptable proof of postgraduate clinical medical training before applying to Part II. (12 months of continuous, paid practice)

5. Pass the MCCQE part II exam

6. After you pass the MCCQE Part II and meet all other MCC requirements, you will be awarded the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada. The MCCQE Part II is only administered in Canada

6. To apply for a residency position, international medical graduates need to pass the National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) Examination. This exam is offered only in Canada.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Note: getting PR would not be a problem if he has the requirement as @justmellow stated, the problem is passing all these and beginning work. Many doctors go there and end up doing menial jobs (which is not going to be nice for someone who is bent of practicing medicine) He should weigh his options properly as I stated in my previous reply to you.

My advice for him is to start from the UK and if he still wants Canada he can move after a while.

if he comes as as a PR, he would be doing other jobs while doing these exams (time management won’t be easy, and he’ll need to have funds for the exams, they’re not cheap) and after he can get a job

Or he could be working elsewhere, when he needs to take the exam, he’ll come on a visa to do it. After everything, when he gets a job, he can come through work permit.

There are many possibilities.

Best wishes

Thanks so much for the enlightenment & detailed guide

Well-Appreciated ma'am

Chocs:
Hello honorable Lekiboboe,

His best bet is the UK. He should take PLAB 1 and 2 exam and in no time he’ll land a good paying job.

With Canada, the exam is more complicated, has more steps and paper work, more expensive and takes more time. Would he be okay with doing a job not related to medicine while he goes through this process? That’s something he should consider.

Study route is only good if he’ll like to go into a medical related field that’s not clinical. Eg public health.

If he’ll like to practice as a doctor, Canada is not the best option. It’s not impossible but he should get ready for the time it will take and the huge cost.

There are public health, reproductive health courses. If his thesis in medical school had a laboratory component then he has more options like experimental medicine and other lab related courses

If he needs more information, he should not hesitate to contact me.

All the best

Oh Thanks xo much Hon. Chocs.

Just seeing this....

I will relay the information to him

and would get back to you for more information
