Hi Everyone!

I received AIP today. All glory to God!

My spouse and I applied for SOWP & SP, respectively.

Thanks to Frankrobbn, Fratermathy, Osemigho, Neverlosehope, etc.

Congratulations Honorable Canhopeful
on your AIP

Kindly share the Documents you submitted for the Application & Program u are going for, So we can learn from your AIP Success Story

Thanks

olasubomy:
Thank you @chocs and @Lekkibobae.

Thanks for the clarification, it is good to know that the one in Abuja is very timely.

@ Lekkibobae - i checked the link you shared but not clear about the conversation. you were advising we pick a later time. i picked for 9:20am and i intend to be at VI on that day for 6:30 am and drive to the venue around 7am. I hope i wont be too early or what do you advise on the right time to get there?

2) How do i locate the place from 3rd round about easily?

That's an experience of a member of this thread

V.I is not far to the place though

It all depends on your timing, jz make sure u get there 20 Minutes before your Appointed Time

2) I can only tell if its from the Mainland u are coming from, e.g Ikeja, Iyana-ipaja

From Ikeja or Iyana Ipaja, Enter bus going to Obalende - CMS , from there to ajah. Drop at Lekki third roundabout. Walk in or take shuttle to VFS GLOBAL opposite treasure garden estate

But in ur case, U are Mobile,
so your route might likely be quite different, one of my friend who went there said he used Google Maps (Voice) to locate the place

olasubomy:
Good evening All, Please what are the requirements to be taken for the biometrics appoitment at VAC and also how timely are they, do they keep to time of appointment? and what is the duration of time for the exercise so i can plan ahead.

In addition to what honorable Chocs said

If its the VFS (VAC) LAGOS OFFICE (LEKKI) you gonna be doing your Biometrics,
make sure u
print those documents mentioned in your area before going to the VFS Center, cos if u don't ,u would be left with no choice than to print it at an outrageous amount at the center

Visit the link below for BIOMETRICS EXPERIENCE AT the LAGOS CENTER (LEKKI)

Note: Ignore any tout that comes to meet you that you need Passport Photograph, it is not needed

lekkan:
Hi Sire

Yeah i am a graduate, and done serving, but decide to put it for undergraduate cos PG expenses are too much beyond what I can afford and even the school I chose does not require school fees deposit.

U can do well to mention what u studied in UG, you might be lucky to get a response from someone who knows schools & PG programs (relating to ur UG) that might be quite cheap

Sequel to your other question

Then ask questions in the forum on things u ain't clear of

lekkan:
Okay sir .. Thanks

Tell me about fully funded scholarship for PG and I'll apply

Non I know of ,
and by the way
Fully Funded Scholarship are mostly restricted to Masters & PH.D

lekkan:
Hi Sire

Yeah i am a graduate, and done serving, but decide to put it for undergraduate cos PG expenses are too much beyond what I can afford and even the school I chose does not require school fees deposit.

Hmm,

But I tot UG is more expensive cos its 3-4 years unlike PG which is One or Two Years.

Well, Well, Well

Since u are a graduate, An UG is a wrong Academic Progression for you, a VISA OFFICER won't buy the idea of u saying a PG program is expensive that's why u went for another UG (that reason is not in anyway COGENT)

I will advice u go for a Masters (If u av a 2.1), then PGD/PG.Cert (If u av a 2.2/3rd Class or HND)

lekkan:
Hello House, I just got admitted to University of Manitoba (Undergraduate studies) and I want to apply for Visa, any guide on how to apply for Visa Successfully and also , how much do o have to show in my statement of account for the proof of fund.
NB: Uni of Manitoba does not require part school fess payment

Hello Honorable Lekkan,

Congratulations on ur Admission,

But I would love to ask u based on why u are going for an Undergraduate Program

Are u a Graduate , (B.sc/HND)?

Have u done NYSC?

congenial:
Yes, I am.

Hi congenial,

Trust u are doing great,

Would love to reach out to u as regards Environmental Management in Canada

look forward to hear from u soon.

Thanks

luc26:
Yes Environmental management ...


quote author=fizzile post=94179971]Guys, please help a friend. Please is there anyone who knows someone who knows someone who is in the environmental field? Like environmental management, environmental science. Please send a pm to me

Hi luc26,

Trust u are doing great,

If u dnt mind, Can I pm you as regards Environmental Management in Canada

look forward to hear from u soon.

Thanks

paul12345:
Many thanks for the help.

u r welcome Honorable Paul

Sharonyeah:
Thank you all for your wonderful responses.

@Lekiboboe, I really appreciate the extensive explanation given, I am grateful.

I will use the suggestions given and trust God to help me.

Lastly, It just occurred to me that I have HND/HNC in UK as well before getting my BSC degree, does it make sense to keep quiet on the BSC and use my HND as my highest qualification while I put up a strong point why Advanced Diploma course?

The only concern in doing that is "what if they eventually find out since Canada and UK share a lot of information?" Moreso, I remember I have done my ECA while thinking of going through express entry.

I am just at my low end right now. I am confused.

U are welcome, To God be the Glory

Don't keep quiet on any academic qualifications u have gotten in the past.
(Thank God you know they can find out since they both share information)

If u silence ur B.SC, the Age Gap & Educational Gap will surface & might cause some problem for u cos u won't be able to satisfy a VISA OFFICER on what u av bin doing in those 3-4 years of ur B.SC u don't want to mention.

Tracy2020:
Thank you Lekiboboe.

It stated:
Applicant requesting a SP to pursue a Masters Program at the University of Manitoba. Scholarship covering first year noted. Financial Support from Parent noted. Statement of Purpose noted. On balance, I am satisfied the proposed studies are reasonable in light of qualifications, previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, financial ability, and future prospect and plans. Eligibility passed, final decision pending medical and biometric results.

I submitted June 10. This note was recorded June 30. I got medical request July 22, AIP August 5, and Biometrics was done August 26. I don’t know why the final decision is still pending medical and Biometrics.

U are welcome
This is looking like a GOAL for You..

Your application has shown tremendous progress

I think Travel Restrictions could be the reason why they are yet to issue final approval to applicants who got AIP

Sharonyeah:
Good afternoon everyone, please I need our candid advice.

I finished my BSC in Mechanical Engineering in a university in UK but I finished with 2.2 hence when I was searching for admission for Masters, I discovered on the school website that I can only go for Advanced Diploma before proceeding for Masters.

Now, the challenge is, how do I explain in my SOP that going for Advanced Diploma is a career progression without mentioning that I finished with 2:2.

My fear is, if I state that I finished with a 2.2, It may reduce my chances of getting Visa Application.

Please this is urgent as I plan submitting my application before the end of this week.

My own suggestion on ur SOP

Check the following Contents out,

Why Advance Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technician-Design (Fast-Track) at Centennial College

The Advance Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technician-Design (Fast-Track) at Centennial College has emerged for various reasons SO THIS IS WHERE YOU NOW TALK ABOUT “The reason u chose this program "

And you would also talk about some other cogent reason on why you are going for an Advanced Diploma program instead of a PGD/PG.Cert
(TALK EXTENSIVELY HERE AND BACK IT UP WITH CONVINCING FACTS ON WHY Centennial COLLEGE AND an Advanced DIPLOMA IN THIS Program IS YOUR ONLY AVAILABLE OPTION TO GET WHAT YOU WANT BASED ON YOUR UNWAVERING INTEREST in Mechanical Engineering Design).

Having had the background and knowledge of Mechanical Engineering (list all other things you have background in that relates to Mechanical Engineering), I am confident of (state ur aim and objective here as it relates to Mech. Engineering) by joining Advanced Diploma for a in Mech. Engineering Design

NEXT THING IS, YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT HOW THE SCHOOL WILL HELP you WITH AN IMPROVED CONCEPT IDEA ON Mech. Engineering which is Probably the DESIGN ASPECT.

Then you mention some courses u will be doing in the Program in that school

a sample below

“The Master of Information Technology offered at the University of Kotoka will surely substantiate me with the right acquaintance, and practice to accomplish my professionalism. Python, Network and Data Security and Advanced Systems Programming are among the few courses, which I wish to pursue there.”


Future Goals
After completion of my college program in Canada I intend to come back to my home country with the outstanding skill set and.........
then you talk about how this program will be beneficial to u and ur home country



U can also make use of SOP tips in the forum

DO AWAIT MORE RESPONSE FROM THE GURUS

Sharonyeah:
Just was going to upload an attachment, I went to the site again. The program is under post graduate diploma ooo. someone can check it up e jo ooo. I almost got confused.

You shouldn't have gone thru Study Portal to check for a Graduate Certificate Program, what Study Portal Showed is totally different from what is on the skool website. The information on that study portal website about this program seems to be more applicable to Domestic Students not International Student.

You should av gone to Ontario college website or the Centennial College Website to check for the Program qualification before applying

On the school website, this is an ADVANCED DIPLOMA and has nothing to do with Graduate Certificate Program.

This is a wrong Academic Progression

I don't know aw u can change this situation now that you have paid Tuition deposit..

With this Development,

You really need to come up with a very Cogent reason in ur SOP on why u are going for an Advanced Diploma instead of a PG. Cert / PGD

Sharonyeah:
Thanks so much bro for your urgent response but I already have admission into centennial and part payment has been made as school fees deposit. The Advanced Diploma is under the school Post graduate Certificate.

Please I will appreciate other people opinion/ advice

Hi Sharon,

Hope it's not the Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design Advanced Diploma Program at Centennial College u are talking about ?

paul12345:
Pls I just got a letter of acceptance to study broadcasting performance and digital media for Winter January 2021.And would like to get a guide on the exact documents to submit as well as right steps to follow to avoid Visa denial.Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated.Thank you and look forward to hear from anyone with experience please.Thanks Fam

Congratulations on ur Admission,

Exact Documents depends on your Profile (Level of Education, Marital Status, Type of Sponsor or u are funding urself, Work Experience or u just concluded ur NYSC etc.)

Then ask questions in the forum on things u ain't clear of

Tracy2020:
Hello Everyone,

I just received my GCMS notes. I have earlier received AIP and Medical request. The notes doesn’t say anything about Approval or not. There are a lot of pages showing different things. I noticed the last page showed Eligibility passed, final pending Medical and Biometrics, but I have already done Medical and Biometrics.

This is looking great for you

The last text (bolded) in the GCM Notes by the VO, What does it say ?

Congratulations in Advance on ur AIP APPROVAL CROWING

bayocanny:
Ontario Advanced Diploma, is it the same as PGD?


kindly assist gurus in the house

No, a PGD is not the same as Advanced Diploma

Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) /Post Graduate Certificate (PG. Cert) is a postgraduate qualification awarded after bachelor’s degree. It is a one-year or two years program comprising of two/three to four semesters.

The duration of an Advanced Diploma course is two years, and it is lower than a bachelor’s degree

In summary, in a case of you having either a B.SC (2.2 or 3rd Class) or an HND, a PGD or PG. Cert is what you should go for

Thermodynamics:
hello, I studied mechanical and production engineering here in Nigeria, I'm currently applying to a university in Canada, but I have difficulty in choosing a specific engineering course.

I'm thinking of choosing between

1. Mechanical Engineering

2. Process engineering

3. Oil and Gas engineering

Can someone in Canada who knows how the system works please suggest the best option for me and explain the possible reasons why?

Hi Thermodynamic,

All the Job prospects/Future Goals u gonna be talking about in ur SOP should be strictly directed on how the knowledge u will acquire in the skool in Canada will be applied to Organizations/Firms u gonna get employment from in Nigeria or how its gonna improve the Nigerian Economy etc.

Don't make a mistake of mentioning any Job Prospects or ur Future Goals of the Program in Canada in ur SOP, jz only have that in your mind (for ur own consumption)


As per system that works in Canada
Go to the
Living in Canada Thread
https://www.nairaland.com/4933819/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/384

And ask of the "System & Job Prospects of the above Engineering Programs in Canada",

am sure people in that field in that thread will be able to give u a clear & concise response on the best Engineering specialization/Path to follow

sneagolben:

Ausvanmart:
very new to this page or thread. It’s great there are people who are ready to share these information selflessly. Have been reading but the more I read the more difficult it looks. I am planning to apply for admission but getting a supervisor for PhD is kind of challenging. I wrote about 100 professors last year but no positive response and have written 3 last week yet no response. I need someone to guide me through this. @frankrobbn and other gurus please help. I don’t mind pms or mails. Thank you in anticipation.

For seneca do I need to apply for study permit before applying? When can I apply for jobs at the school, before or after application?

Hi,

For any school (DLI) in Canada, u need to have a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a school (school u got admission from) bfor u can apply for a Study Permit (its part of the requirement).

You apply for Jobs when u get to Canada (U gonna be given a Work Permit at the Canadian Border Service in the Airport to Work Strictly for Only 20 hours per week during school session & 40 hours per week during Break/Holidays)

Last question

For imm5645e , I was not able to write my name for the signature, how did you overcome this when you encountered same. Thanks for your response.

U are welcome,

Really,

I can't really remember ..

Seems nothing will be written there, I think its only the date beside the Signature Field that will be there.....

Are u using the latest version of ACROBAT READER DC app on your laptop?

Please do you know about this?.

my clients information

I am seing : "uploaded - not submitted to ircc ",

And remove file by right hand side.

As shown in the below picture.


What do I do?

The document u uploaded (client info) probably is more than the 4MB size or its not accepted , so it is seeking you to Update it with a New FILE.

but sequel to ur initial question about where Home ties docs. will go to which I answered that its the CLIENT INFORMATION, I will assume u want to re-upload ur CLIENT INFORMATION with alrdy merged & UPDATED docs.

The above screen shows u av already Uploaded a Document, so click on REMOVE DOCUMENT and delete the already Uploaded document, then upload a new document that is not more than 4.00/4.09MB in size

Thanks man. Im just interested in anything that can give me full funding. Cos I dont have one kobo to give those Canadian guys... shingbai nor gum me.

I have taken gre, toefl... I'm going for msc in civil engineering. I have high cgpa from my bsc studies

I'm just bothered about getting funding, what term is appropriate to even apply for now that covid 19 issue is still on. Professors may likely not be accepting intl students now due to current climes the world finds herself

U are welcome,

Well it all depends on you,
if you av a minimum of 2.1 & you are able to craft your Masters application well (SOP, Mail etc.) and woo a Potential Supervisor on why he/she should accept u to his/her Lab., then there should be light at the end of the tunnel for u.

Note that there is FULL or Partial Funding, it all depends on the Prof. Or department of the school, that's why sending mails to loads of schools in CANADA might increase you chance & helping u achieve the Full-Funding Package u are gunning for.

As to why a Professor Might be likely accepting Int'l students now or not, that is left to the Prof. to decide, cos u never know or can never tell if he/she is accepting student or otherwise,
until u mail him/her, he/she will tell u.
The Prof. might even tell u the period you should mail him/her.

Note : Fall (September) is the intake for most Masters in CANADA

So a Fall 2021 intake is what u should be pursing now.

FALL 2021 should be part of the lines mentioned in your E-Mail Subject & Body to a Potential Professor

Let me assume you had a B.SC in Civil Engineering or related program

Visit the link below for schools offering
