I graduated with a second class lower in public administration and I want to apply for diploma in public administration. Please, how do I apply by myself without going through agent?
Very Simple,
when u check out the school u are interested in, and u av seen that u satisfy the admission requirement, and the intake u want to apply for is open e.g Fall (September) intake, Winter (January) intake & Spring (May) intake,
then
- Go to the sch. Website, locate their Application Portal for international student ,fill the Application form and upload the required documents,
make sure u av all the documents required to apply e.g Academic Transcript (some school might require u to evaluate ur result either from WES or ECA before they process ur admission, and some might require ur school to send official copy of ur transcript to them), University degree certificate and some other required supporting documents.

- Then pay the Application fee ( mostly around $90 CAD to $150CAD)

- then wait for ur admission letter

Keep Checking Ur mail & try to apply to more than one skool

Note : Some schools also waive application fee for international students e.g CAMBRIAN COLLEGE, ONTARIO

In order to widen your Admission to Canada Options,

If u are interested in HR (Human Resources management) U can check out Cambrian College, Ontario One-year Post Graduate Certificate (PGC) Program in Human Resource (HR) for Winter 2021 intake (which is open), since HR relates to ur Public Admin degree...which shows a career progression

https://cambriancollege.ca/programs/human-resources-management/

https://catalog.cambriancollege.ca/hmpd/

If u interested in Applying for that Program (PGC,HR) at Cambrian College. U can PM me for guidance

House Please
For tuition Payment options
Between fly wire and debit card, which is more safer, with good ratehuh
Please its urgent

Secondly, if its debit card please advice the Nigeria bank card that will preferable.

Thank you. please it urgent
The fly wire rate can be something else, don't know about Debit Card....

Suggestion,
Why don't u consider Paying through CBN Form A
Payment through FORM A will be made at a CBN or interbank rate for eligible services (tuition fee Payment, etc.) which is built as predetermined by the Foreign exchange manual

Check my post in the link below for information on "payment of tuition fee abroad using FORM A and information u need from the school to initiate the payment"

Chioma12345:
Good morning. Sorry this is my first time of commenting here. I graduated with a second class lower in public administration. Please can you recommend any cheap University for me accepting diploma in public administration? Thank you
Hello Chioma12345,
U are welcome

U would need to do a research on the following schools (their website/google) & the post graduate Diploma/Certificate program u are interested in, so as to know their tuition fee and determine their affordability based on ur budget

Check out the following skools(Universities) and their programs

Graduate Diploma in Public Administration
Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia

Graduate Diploma in Public Administration
Western University, Ontario

Graduate Certificate in Public Management
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan

In case the University PGD admission requirement is higher than ur 2.2 CGPA,

then ur best bet is a PGD or PGC in a College in Canada
For Colleges offering Post Graduate Diploma/Certificate in Public Administration/Relations Related Program
Visit the link below:

https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs/search?q=Public%20Administration&page=0&by%5BProgramCredentialEnglish%5D%5B0%5D=Graduate%20Certificate

Note: Make Sure the program u intend to do relates with ur Public Administration degree

@ justwise, frankrobbi 1, lekiboboe, Wendi duel, and other gurus here Hello house, please attend to my questions ��. I would like to know if it's mandatory to open a dormicilary account for my sister and transfer her tuition fees there though the school did not request for tuition deposit? or should just present the sponsor statement of account as prove of Available funds for her tuition?
my next question is that her sponsor(my hubby) said he doesn't have any money in his Salary account but has up to 17M-20M in his savings account, please does he need to submit an empty salary account or he should just submit his savings account with his payslip and employment letter as prove of employment??
furthermore, my sister has already gotten admission here in Nigeria , do we need to include her admission letter as evidence of what she has been doing after SSCE?
my last question is that how do we proof the relationship between my younger sister and my husband since they do not bear the same surname? @justwise , frankrobbi1, lekiboboe, wendiduel and other guru in the house. Thanks and remain blessed . Please someone should attend to my questions
I can see u got like 4-Questions here, would be able to give my own opinion about the first and last question.

-) As regards paying of ur sis. tuition fee, Its not mandatory to open a domiciliary account, u can use the naira account with the naira funds, a bank knows how to do that to pay tuition oversea using Form A to pay
Do check my post on Page 130 about payment of tuition fee overseas using FORM A

Also, Part payment should be okay since they didn't ask for a deposit

-) Ur Hubby Can Proof a relationship with ur sister by the following
- Writing a Letter of Sponsorship
Visit Page 105 & u will see a Sample of Letter of a Brother-In-law Sponsoring his wife's sibling

- A Family Tree (diagram) showing how ur Sis. Relates to ur Husband

- Probably a Wedding Picture in which You & ur Husband and Sister featured will suffice.

Hello Sir, I've been following your post for a while and found them helpful and I'm in the process of mailing supervisors now as I already have a list of them. I really need the advice of someone who has done this before.

Sir, Do I need to mail them with a thesis or just mail them with a request them to be my supervisors? I'm looking at an Msc in Public Health. Thanks.
Send them only a mail and make the subject of the email very simple and clear.

For example,:
E-Mail Subject should either be any of this :

hello please i have asked before and no reply the please i also need and will appreciate every ones input on these . first congrats on your progress ,my question is if you provide all documents requested from and the ones you couldn't provide due to log down how did you go about it because i saw in their site that if you are having difficulties providing any document you should attach a reason and explain why you cant provide it. reason am asking is because am having trouble getting my English proficiency exception letter from my school and i don't know how to go about these and that's the only thing holding me from applying .
U don't need an English Proficiency Exception Letter, as far as u are a NIGERIAN

Am sure the school u applied & gained admission to didn't ask for IELTS from u, and even if they asked (as a general requirement) it was waived for u cos u come from an English Speaking Country, so why should that be the only thing holding u back from applying for a Study Visa, besides its not a requirement for a Canada Study Visa Application

Go ahead and apply for ur Study Permit

U don't need IELTS cos u come from an English Speaking Country (Nigeria), so even if you see it in an admission requirement, u are EXEMPTED.

IELTS for admission purpose are meant for countries whose official language is not English

Good afternoon pls can I do GMAT or GRE to boost my qualification for masters in Canada .
Nope, u will only need to do GMAT or GRE if the masters program u are going for requires it.

For instance,. M.BA programs in Canada will require u to do a GMAT or GRE and av a particular score range

In terms of boosting ur application for masters, it depends on a whole lot of factors , most especially if its a THESIS Masters program u are going for e.g CGPA (1st Class or 2.1), Contextualized E-mail to potential supervisors, Research interests etc..

I know but what's the average amount I should budget for everything?
U would need to do some research to know that, different schools with different tuition fee range.

Apart from the Compulsory 1 year $10,000 CAD Living Expenses in CANADA , u will need to visit the sch. u are interested in (their website), check the Tuition fee of your Program for International Students

So once u know the Tuition fee ,
total it together with the $10,000CAD, u will be able to arrive at an average amount of money you need to budget for everything


u can also go to YouTube and search for this Particular Video,
Canadian Study Permit Application - Cost Breakdown
It will show u the Complete Cost Breakdown to Study in Canada

Some new PR leave from Benin republic or Togo. I am not sure. So, do not base your decision on this.

About your comment on my last two paragraph, was it entirely grace? Was grace reading for me and submitting my application? I asked, pray, and worked for it. I choose to abandon US and focus on Canada after reading.

You can say God inspired me to read more and set some of it before me, but do not ignore my conscious efforts under the shadow of grace. I could have just ignore or make excuses when my supervisor advise me to try again.

I believe Favor is readiness meet opportunity. Your body, soul, and mind must be ready when the opportunity comes. There are many others who I have encouraged to try but refuse to. They have the opportunity, but letting it pass by. I hope they don’t later blame God for not “mapping it out” for them.

If I were in your shoes, my unordered options that may not apply to you will be;

1. Stick to the plan and see if I can use the school email or an official letter to get a travel exemption after visa. You will need a solid quarantine plan to enter finally.

2. Get Visa and defer to 2021 if I can guarantee a travel exemption. I Won’t say September 2021 is a no no. I will ask myself how I can secure it.

3. Get visa, defer program, change program to another winter program.

Your work is to figure out your options and continue to strike out the outdated ones as time and situation changes. However, never say never because waiting till next year might work in your favor.

If I had gotten admission and come to Canada in 2016, I wont have become PR in 2017 and probably won’t be by now. I was deeply saddened that I couldn’t get a masters admission with all my efforts and fall 2016 application to about 4 schools. A fellow nairalander stylishly mocked me for it. In fact, I quit all together until my undergraduate supervisor in Nigeria encouraged me to try again.

I returned with another name and refired. Emailed about sixty supervisors and had about 8 yes in about 5 schools. I applied to 4 schools and got full scholarship in one. I stumbled upon express entry thread around January 2017 and started reading it. The most fruitful part of my journey here was after that my denial in 2016 because I also used that one year to gather experience and knowledge to apply for PR. Those who mock me then actually came back to ask how I got my PR. Hahaha. Today, I am thinking of when to apply for citizenship not PR.

Never say never. Always think of how you can I do it better. All the best.
Thanks for your spot-on response
But am reasoning with ur No. 1 & 3 option

- Actually I have thought about that no. 1 option ,but there is no international flight going in and out of Nigeria, u can't even book for international flights or are there Airlines that are on essential traveling to Canada from Nigeria?

- ur No.3 option is what I chose as an alternative , "Get Visa and change program to another Winter Program"

If I get u correctly for example

Get Visa , switch from a Fall 2020 Program at Seneca College TO a Winter 2021 program at Conestoga College

I guess this is what u mean
& if YES , how can this be done?

Based on your story in the last 2 paragraph, You are really a Product of Grace, God had everything mapped out for u.

Kudos to your resilience cool

Most schools keep the classroom option for international students to qualify for student visa. Ask the program Coordinator or admission advisor if international students are eligible to apply for the program and student visa. All the best.
What if in a scenerio like this,

a Fall 2020 program is strictly In-person (no virtual mode) & a student gets his/her study permit and travel restrictions is still not lifted,

and the Program Coordinator says this (after mailing him):

You will be required to be on campus to complete the requirements for the program this fall and if you do not already have a VISA then you will not be permitted to partake in the program in September 2020. Unfortunately, the next available intake will be September 2021


Any headway on this
or
can an approved study permit meant for the Fall 2020 program be used to switch for a Winter 2021 program (hopefully the travel restrictions would have bin lifted by then)

NB: Fall 2021 is a NO NO undecided

Hello all, I have a B.eng in Mechanical/production engineering, I want to do my masters in Canada, but I want to optimize and get more value for my money by studying a course that is in high demand in terms of job after graduation in Canada. Please anyone in Canada who knows how the system works should make suggestions for me. Thanks.
Hello ,

What u need to consider before applying for a study permit is that;

The High job demand Program u want to do, is it related to ur B.Eng Mech/Production Program or do u have a experience or training certification in it

Cos that's one of the important criteria the Visa Officer look at (Purpose of Study),

for example when a VO See's an Application of a graduate in Accounting going for a Engineering, they would easily conclude this person just want to elope to Canada with no genuine reason.

Career Progression/Work Experience progression is very important for a Canada Study Visa

Do check link below for the Trend Analysis and Job Demand of Mech. Engineering related Jobs in all provinces in Canada

https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home

Its funny lately many people are pursing programs like "Nursing" even without having a background in it, cos its in high demand and the salary package is very OK.

If u have a 2.1., pursue a Masters in Mech. Or Production related Engineering program,

If its a 2.2/3rd Class, Pursue a PGD/PGC in Mech.Prod. / Processing Engineering Program

All da best!!!

Well as regards what u said about the app. fee, sorry u might be right and the funny thing is u might even likely get Admission ,
BUT
the main challenge is when u want to apply for a Study Visa, submitting a Letter of Acceptance with either of the Programs (Sport Biz/Addiction and Mental Health) u won't be able to convince the Visa Officer on ur Purpose of Visit , cos ur Computer Sci. Background is no way related to those two courses u applied for.

So u would need to apply for a course that relates to ur program for Career Progression.

My own suggestion if u might like it,:

With ur Computer Science Background, Why not check out this program

Mobile Application Development - Graduate Certificate (MAPD) at Cambrian College, Sudbury, ONTARIO

Yes u av a chance,
but make sure its a PGD or Post Grad. Certificate (PGC) u are applying for in the college, cos anything lesser than that (e.g Diploma, Advance Diploma) shows no career progression
&
also make sure the PGD/PGC program u are going for in the college relates to ur former HND Degree

Well..well..... from my own point of view,.NYSC can count for Work Experience & also If u intend to still come back to Nigeria for job opportunities, political positions etc. U need ur NYSC discharge Cert. ,
but for Study Permit Application, NYSC discharge cert. is not compulsory (I stand to be corrected on this)
.

Ur WAEC online print out would be enough,
What u need is ur HND certificate and Transcript.

U can also attach that ur testimonial.

For all the Steps for ur study visa , visit page 1, there are lot of information there, and if u have question along the line, do ask, u would be responded to..
