Thank you so much for the response
I have another question please
The problem is the names on my school documents is different from the names on my national ID card and bvn
For example the name on my school documents are Ada Lucy Johnson and the name on my national ID card and bvn is Lucy Ada Johnson

Can this be a problem for me In future when processing my masters
U are welcome.

No its not a Problem, all u gotta do is to go to a law Court with all your documents & do an AFFIDAVIT OF CONFIRMATION OF NAMES, so any application u will be submitting, always attach this Affidavit to them.

Note: The format of names that's gonna be written for your International Passport registration (if u dnt av one yet) will be the names (as arranged) you will continue to use for School Admission, Study Visa Application etc., cos any application e.g Canadian Visa Application or skool application in which your name is asked, they will tell you Write your name as it is bin written on your International Passport

Good evening
I am currently in a university in Nigeria
I have plans to go to Canada for my masters when I finish my bsc and do a science related course but looking at my course of study which is Industrial relations and personnel management... I have searched for a professional course I can do that's science related but I can't find any(any suggestions Will be appreciated) except if I do a science related course in my bsc


Now the thing is I am thinking of starting all over in Canada, is it advisable?

2. What are the documents required

I want to start all over in a science related field
Hello PrettyShim,

In my own opinion, Its not advisable for you to start all over in Canada i.e going for another B.SC

Reasons are
- You don't have a Science Background in your high school most especially in your SSCE/WAEC School Certificate

- Your age might likely not be favorable for another Bachelor's degree program , Age range to apply for a Bachelor's Program in Canada is around age 17-21

- You going for another Bachelor's program don't show any Career Progression and a Visa Officer would conclude you just want to elope to Canada through the study route which makes your purpose of study VAGUE

- You also going for another Bachelor's Program will be questionable and raise a serious red flag cos the Visa Officer will look at it that instead of you to go for a Master's or PG.Cert/PGD ,u decide to go for another Bachelor's program, purpose of study will be considered VAGUE aswell


1) Your Best Shot is to go for
a Masters related to what you are studying in your university

And to get admission for a Masters in CANADA ,you need to to have a minimum of 2nd Class Upper (2.1) & also some other requirements you will need to satisfy when applying for a masters in Canada

So if you still have the opportunity to get a 2.1 before you graduate, put in your best to achieve it,
but
if you know you would likely fall to 2nd Class Lower (2.2), then get set for a PG. cert /PGD Program in CANADA

So you can do a research on the following Masters Programs & respective skools in Canada (since it relates to what you are studying presently)

- Master of Industrial Relations (MIR)
Queen's University, Ontario

- Master of Industrial Relations and Human Resources (M.I.R.H.R.)
University of Toronto, Ontario

- Combined Master of Industrial Relations/JD
Queen's University, Ontario

- Professional Masters in Industrial Relations (PMIR)
Queen's University, Ontario

- Master of Employment Relations
Memorial University of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador

- Master of Science (Management) in Human Resource Management and Labour Relations
University of Lethbridge, Alberta

Hi, please does this certificate also come with your biometric info page (fingerprints et al). Actually need to submit fingerprints for a background check I'm doing an wondering if I should do it with the police or just look for anyplace that my fingerprints can be captured. I'm just thinking that the police might carry more weight than other places I could do this...

Note that it's a UK agency requiring the fingerprints
No it doesn't,

As suggested, I think the one from the POLICE would carry more weight

Do await more response in this

Yes I did enquire about getting copy of it, but QLife said I have to pay for it. So I boned them and am looking out for the passed update on my profile. I may send them a mail later this week
Like Seriously,

Let me Assume its cos of the Price,

"Medical Report for Applicant fee" might have not bin budgeted for the #35K Q-life Charges, probably that's why they asked you to pay for it.
Where as,
IOMHAC that charges #46,500 might have added the "Medical Report for Applicant fee" in the amount they charge

Yes I did just as I was advised by IRCC two days ago when they replied me to:

nairobi@international.gc.ca and
nrobi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

Both e mails I got from the IRCC page
Ok, since they have acknowledged you, eerything seems fine. Do wait patiently and stay hopeful.

By the way,
did Q-life notify u in the clinic that you can get a copy of your medical reports (HIV, Syphillis & Creatinine test) excluding Doctors Report?

With this you can be able to know if your medical result is on point & good to go.

IOM Lagos do give medical report if an applicant request for it.
I did request for mine from IOM Lagos through mail, and 24hrs later it was sent to me.
So on the day of my BIOMETRICS, 3-hrs later after doing the BIOMETRICS, I just checked my profile to access the Biometric update and I got a notification "MEDICAL PASSED"

So you can contact Q-Life if they do such

Hello House,
Is there anyone who did upfront medical on August 22, 2020 at QLife after submitting online application (but before medical request from IRCC) whose IRCC status has reflected positively?
I did my upfront medical on said day and notified IRCC via web form (they acknowledged receipt of eMedical sheet 7 days later and said they have forwarded to relevant visa office and advised I notify Nairobi visa office where my file is). I have called QLife and they confirmed uploading my medical to e Medical on August 29, 2020.

My timeline for Spring (May) 2021 admission
Applied online on July 21, 2020
BIL On July 21, 2020
Biometrics done on August 24, 2020 ( reflected on my IRCC profile "Biometrics Completed"wink
Upfront medical done on August 22, 2020.

What next? Gurus @FrankRobbn, @Lekiboboe @rebeccausoro @Osemigho etc come to my aid with advice
Apart from the e-medical sheet you sent to IRCC Nairobi through Webform , did you also send the e-medical sheet to CIC Nairobi Kenya E-mail?

Hello house, I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, I want to apply for a MSc degree in scientific computing (IT area).

What are my chances of getting the admission?
Hi Thermodynamics,

They are somehow unrelated,
except you go for a Masters Program that has a Collaboration of Mech. Engineering & Computing, also if probably you have work experience in the I.T industry, u can stand chance

Why not check out a Masters in Artificial Intelligence and look for a Way it relates to Mechanical Engineering.

Schools offering Masters in Artificial Intelligence

Since Software are used for Mechanical Engineering design, you can also find a way to look how you can relate it together (Mech eng. & Computing)

Schools offering Masters in Software Engineering
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Software+Development&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

Also Your CGPA (2nd Class Upper Minimum) and success in getting a Supervisor for ur thesis-based M.SC program will increase your chance in getting the Admission

"We are expecting IRCC to ask you for a proof of registration for September 2020 program before they issue State Two Final Visa Approval".


From the excerpt it appears that the international director of your proposed school in Canada is NOT definite about the next steps to be taken by IRCC.


It will end in praise.
Exactly..... looks more like a speculation, probably if there is a certainty about it, they would av inform the general public (international student)

Also @frankrobbn1, what is it about this SEPTEMBER 15

Cos lot's of school keep mentioning it, is it a deadline for FALL 2020 to get a decision?

Frankrobbn1:
It really amazes me how people view Canada and their immigration strategy as self righteous people. These are all tricks used in a very strategic manner yet professional way, albeit people are blinded folded to agree on it. Its only a matter of few days or weeks from now, IRCC will begin exhibiting what they have been cooking up for quite a long time. The immigration process of Canada is not for the faint-hearted, so one has to fully prepared for any outcome that arises.



It will end in praise.
Actually this is like a test between IRCC & International students, and no one knows the final outcome of things even after getting AIP and both parties don't want to be on the loosing end

But something came to my mind based on a response of the international director of my school in Canada,

What if the IRCC are monitoring the students that will start online before they issue visas?

Cos it’s possible they may not issue any visa this early September & they are just Waiting to see evidence that students have started online classes before issuing visas.

He said that;

If you have applied for the Visa and have not received any decision as yet, you need to wait till September 15 for AIP (Stage One Visa Approval) to be issued.

If you receive an AIP by September 15, you need to then register immediately and start your program online as we are expecting IRCC to ask you for a proof of registration for September 2020 program before they issue Stage Two Final Visa Approval. If you DO NOT receive any decision by September 15, you need to defer your intake to January 2021


To the bolded @everyone, what's your take on this?

It is NOT compulsory, even with the 2 stage approval process. They only added it there for those it is applicable to. Police clearance is not needed for Nigerian temporary resident visa applicants. Those who do it simply do so in the Nigerian tradition of "make I do everything so that dem nor go delay my application". VOs won't demand for it.

Good day everyone,
I want to know if police clearance certificate is a compulsory document for study permit application. I have all other documents.

Please how does someone who is not in Lagos get the police clearance certificate? I am in Kaduna state.

Thank you for your time.
With this new strategy by IRCC on AIP which is the first stage approval, one of the requirement for the Second Stage approval (final approval) is Police Clearance Certificate, which makes it compulsory.

Do refer to the post in the link below,
This is based on experience of a member of this forum who is not in Lagos but was able to do her Police Clearance Certificate without travelling down to Lagos

This has everything I want, it is an accelerated program of 10 months duration but it is very costly, about 45, 000 CAD not including feeding, insurance and housing. Is this course worth the price since this school is ranked 38th in the world? Does the university ranking matter that much when applying for jobs?
U are welcome..

On a very rare occasions does University ranking matter when applying for Jobs in Canada.

From my own research & experience from folks have seen
Its your Resume (Canadian Style & ATS Standard), Skill Sets, Work Experience & Professional Certifications, Linkdein Profile that matter when applying for Jobs in Canada

Networking & Volunteering is also a very important factor to consider when Looking/Applying for Jobs in Canada

So if you see other skools at a more affordable price that has a Data Science Masters program in Canada, go for it
