Good morning,

Payment of school fees is not a prerequisite to getting an approval. Show your school fees and LE in your bank account.

Please which school gave you the admission towards Fall 2020?

Yes that's what I will do. MUN for MBA fall 2020.

josiahese:
Study Permit are not issued based on payment of school fees.
The least you should do, is paying school fees and hoping you are issued.
If you want to be granted , you will with your documents not paying of tuition fees.

Then it's best I don't pay. Safer

Hello house,
What do you guys think about just showing full one year tuition and 10,000 dols equivalent in your account?

Cos I'm worried about doing wahala to get tuition refund incase of refusal...let's be realistic

Plus my school gave me admission letter against fall 2020 without requiring any deposit or whatsoever until September.

I have also written their cashier office to know their refund policy.

I just think we should take precaution and not lose out on both sides.

UrsyBC:
UBC admission: 28th August
Online Application: 18th Sept
Biometrics Request: 20th Sept
Biometrics Done: 26th Sept.
Medical Request:16th Oct.
Medicals Done : 24th Oct.(IOM Lag)
Medicals Passed: 30th Oct.

First time applicant.

My passport was to expire 3 months into the winter term and of course, my Visa's validity if granted wouldn't be longer than March, so I had to wait for it to drop to 6 months, then I applied for passport renewal. I also got my police clearance certificate in September.

Took me not less than a week to write a one and a half pages of SOP. I kept editing and restructuring, adding and subtracting. My strategy was to weigh the pros n cons of each point I try to make. Any information that I weigh n perceive could be misinterpreted, I thrower more light. For instance, my kids are part of my ties. The least is 2 years old. I felt the VO would wonder why a sane mother would want to leave her young child. At the same time, i felt the VO would also wonder how i would travel with a toddler given the intensity of my professional masters degree. I had to choose one side of the argument and gave solid reasons which sent a pointer to my determination to study and graduate with good grades while outlining adequate steps I've put in place for the welfare of the kids I'm leaving behind.

I also mentioned what I intend to do upon return and showed evidence of some tangible things I'd leave behind as a major fallback when I return. Each day I read my SOP, it made deeper meaning. I understood it differently and kept manipulating it until I was convinced that I had done noble. Worthy to mention is that I showed a career progression from my previous study and current work experience, to the intended program. Meanwhile, I attached an LOE to explain my previous US tourist Visa rejection, reason for not writing IELTS + correspondence from school confirming that IELTS would be waived if my UNN sends them a proof that I was taught in English, other source of income, family composition .

Meanwhile, I have a travel history(US and)
Self-sponsorship
Employed with a meagre salary
Printed n submitted the tuition n cost of living page as seen on the school's website.
Statement of account(4 months)
fixed deposit
Reference letter from bank
Transcripts
Proof of English Proficiency from undergrad school
Letter from employer(recent)
TCC
Pay stubs (3months)
Survey plans of properties in my name
Birth certificates of kids
Hubby n dad's biodata page.
Picture of just the kids together with a minor ward.
Confirmation letter from UBC on deposit payment
Conditional letter of acceptance
Tuition Fee is to be paid in 3 instalments

I think less is actually more. SOP was straight to the point so as not to bore the VO or divulge unnecessary information that could be used against me. For each information I gave, I asked myself if it was necessary and directly related to my application. Then I moved to weighing the implication of every possible answer. I actually set up a law court in my head.

For me, preparing and sending in my application was like preparing for a life changing exam. I almost gave up cos it was too much for just an application, but for the deposit I already made...I needed at least a rejection to get it back. lol

PS: I have an active EE profile and didn't delete for the purpose of this application. Afterall, my timeline in the morning is same even at night and what would be would be. It's not a do or die affair. Holding on to see what the end would be...

Meanwhile much respect to frankrobbin, justmellow and all those who take time to respond to questions on this platform. E no easy, I swear. See as hand dey pain me n I dey jump certain details wey I wan share. They'll definitely come sha...in due course whether or whethern't Visa is approved. Lol.

Much luv, fam

What was your closing account ? And value of the fixed deposit?

Ubah007:
Please i applied for a study permit online on the 22 of August I received a medical request on the 15th of October i got it done on the 22nd it was updated to pass on the 25th and since then I haven’t heard anything from them

That's five days now. It will end in praise!

Someone should pls drop a success story �

MissMichelleA:
Yes because you'll draw unnecessary attention to Nigerians applying. Isn't this obvious?

Thank you, I didn't want to bother replying cos its obvious he's not thinking in that direction and might not see it this way.

Kjoy:
Sometimes 200k, sometimes 150k depending on sales

SOA balance close to 5m, Sponsor over 40m

MBA

I can't imagine what could have gone wrong?

Can u order your gcms note to see , then tackle that reason when you reapply in your statement of explanation

Kjoy:
@Frankrobbn1, naijaforeigner..

I was rejected based on CURRENT EMPLOYMENT SITUATION. Please how do I handle this in the next application??

I submitted employment and introduction letters with my SOA showing how much I received monthly.

The company belongs to my family.. it's not a big one.

Thank you guys

How much do you receive monthly?

What was your SOA balance?

What course/program did you apply for?

What career objectives/prospects do you have?

emeify1:
I enjoin everyone to write to minister@cic.gc.ca and nairobi@international.gc.ca to complain passionately of the unfair and unreasonable treatment if Nigerian study permit and sowp applicants. Tweet at them too. They cannot ignore all the voices. I implore even those who ha ehadtheir visas approved to join in this. Let the voices be heard. Thank u

Don't overdo it in such a way that it becomes a nuisance

makano:
Ur first question is funny tho, is the new birth certificate for the day u were born again? Anyways to answer ur question, the VO is nt concerned if the BC is old or new, so far it's the birth certificates of ur family members. I will advise u submit the original one i.e the old one.. 2. It depends on ur situation , but I will advise you also submit ur SOA and payslips so far you are working or have a steady flow of income... Peace

Thanks, we will use our old ones, I don't even know where I heard that from...lol

Thanks,

Ps expect more funny questions

Please house, must every member of my family get the new birth certificate from local govt or can we use the old one we have?

iamhistreasure:
Pls who else is having issues selecting year of birth, I can select month and day but the least year I can see there is 2003..

victory148:
I'm having issues uploading my passport, Pls who's experiencing such?

Make sure th size is less than 1mb

scarplanet:
1. I cannot really give a definite answer to your question. What you should bear in mind is that you are competing with other candidates from your state. So you see why i can't give an answer because you don't know what other persons from your state are presenting. However, i know of a person who got it without a publication.
This is my honest advise to you: Prepare a draft of your bachelor's degree thesis and send to an international journal. If you are lucky it gets published on time, then use the published document. If it isn't published but you are sent an acceptance letter from the journal, print out the acceptance letter.
As for award/honors, it doesn't have to be a national award. Any academic, research or scientific award can serve... even if it is best graduating student or recognition from a conference.

2. As for age restrictions, i can't really tell. Though some institutions would say an MSc candidate should not be more than 30years. As for PTDF i can't say for sure. I can find out later.

3. If you are asked for an admission letter then it only means one thing. I am sure you already have the answer yourself.
For PhD candidates, if you eventually pass the interview (that is if you are called) then it is advisable you start looking for a supervisor immediately.

Cheers

Nope I don't.

scarplanet:
I cant really say whether any is easy or difficult to get. I believe getting the scholarship is proportional to the amount of effort you put into it, not also forgetting that God's favour is required too.

But in choosing between them, a number of factors are to be considered:
Language, cost of living (housing and feeding), Ability to network and exposure to forums, Job opportunities for students, serenity, adequate mentoring and tutorship, ability to get professional assistance, residency permit... The list goes on

I obviously wont choose for you, the choice is yours.

Cheers.

Pls im an MSc applicant with no publication or national honor, what are my chances?

Also are there any age restrictions for MSc?

lastly which Admission letter am I supposed to upload since i am not to contact the school myself, or is it Jamb admission letter they mean?

Well well he's good as free already

Only1mi:
I understood perfectly the first time you said it, why they think happiness has to be linked to a man, I just get...

Thank you... I don't know why I bothered replying the guy ... The message is not for everyone

'HAPPINESS' doesn't have to be another man, dick or marriage. Think outside the box

marvin906:
so if you where it that position
your solution will be hoping from one marriage to the other
until you see your perfect man

Yes that's my advice to women.

Men today feel no remorse when it comes to Adultery and jumping from pussy to pussy , so let no man give what he cannot take.

marvin906:
do you even understand what you just wrote
so if a woman is having marital issues she should leave and find another man
if that one fails she should still do the same abi
no wahala
theres no prb jumping from dick to dick
and also your advice for women is to plan ahead of marraige failure
WTF

No man is worth fighting for. what if happiness poured acid on the wife, or use bottle on her head? Abeg I can't die for one man that might not even last up to 5mins .....

Women make your load light in marriage, have the number of kids you know you can cater for in case of any fracas, be independent and save. Most husband today don't know what marital vow means. Once he shows you he doesn't have your interest at heart, carry your load and search for your own 'happiness'.

3rd day on the job, there's nothing God cannot do.

Did you do the second interview with me at the finance department?

We were 3 selected for medical. I met one man there that did the last interview with us but i dont know who the 3rd person is?

Natcho:
I interviewed on the same day you did yours too. I remember you, pls is there any hope for me?

Thank you so much.

Tydarl:
Yes, the written test. Thanks.
Keep your fingers crossed. I'm sure they would call you by your stipulated time. You have gotten to medicals stage so whenever they need an employee, you will be first person they will contact. Besides, it's the best that you didn't expose yourself to the scan. Better safe than sorry. Wish you all the best.
