Cheap. Very cheap.
Are you sure this is it? Cos SAS usually provide scholarship for such cheap program. If you are sure, apply.

Think how you can borrow, not easy to raise such fee and upkeep.

All the best

penitential:
Yes! You can get schorlarships from various awarding bodies while studying. Majority of them are based on academic performance. If you have a very good academic performance, sure you will get. Also there are some schools that you can apply for scholarship programs once you get admission but don't know if Usask has those ones.

penitential:
I sent you a P.M, reply back.

Osemigho:

Check fees and quote.

Austinpee4:
Just a piece of advise for guys previously refused for insufficient fund to paid tuition and support yourself.

If you intend to pay your tuition(part or full), great idea.
If you intend to transfer the cash (naira) into your account, endeavour to use a CURRENT account in your name. Saw a GCMS note sometime ago and the VO major concern was that huge funds were transfered to PA's SAVINGS account and he/he was worried PA cannot remove the money at once to pay for tuition because of the limit of transactions placed on NAIRA savings account.

They obviously know all the banking regulations, be smart too.They know FORM A or any convertible currency transactions will be in a current account.

Anywhere, his visa was approved today. What did he do differently? Transferred equivalent of his tuition + $CAD 10,000 to his current account ONLY!

#If you really need to know the main reason for a visa refusal, get your GCMS file. It's an eye opener!

dokkitaa:
I intend to apply for a PhD in Toxicology. I contacted a supervisor who asked me to apply showing interest in my profile
BSc Biochemistry 4.6/7.0-2/1
Msc Toxicology 5.0/7.0
There is funding attached to the course even at Masters level and there is no limited time to apply for the course. You can apply anytime.
My question is considering the rate of competition in universities in Canada, will I be considered even the supervisor has granted me a go ahead, they required a 70% cgpa system in the school although I don't know the rank I would be in their system. However my question is would it not be best if I would opt for another Masters by research in the same course where I would have upper hand in the process than pursuing a PhD which would be extra competitive.

What would you suggest house especially from our experience friends before I apply?

Thank you.

Best options now to My opinion are UK plab, Saudi arabia and Dubai (uae), Ireland and South Africa

1)
of which Dubai needs 2 years post house job experience.writing then writing uae prometric exam in Ghana(nearest to Nigeria centre), if you pass fly to Dubai(uae) with a 3 month visiting visa and your Nigerian certificates certified by ministry of foreign affairs, medical tests and look for a job
If You get a job in Dubai, convert your visiting visa to work visa there in Dubai(uae) you can also look at cheaper non Dubai emirates to save more money if you want to write exams for ukplab, USMLE exams, Australia AMC to.move later

Also
he following examinations have been designated as DHCC Approved Physician Exams of which no further extra need to pass Dubai uae exams

• Australian Medical Council Exam – www.amc.org.au/exam.asp • TRAS (Ireland -Temporary Registration Assessment Scheme) Parts I, II, and III – www.medicalcouncil.ie/

• PLAB (UK) Parts I and II – www.gmc-uk.org/register/default.htm

• USMLE (US) Parts I and II (CK) – www.usmle.org

• Applicants certified by ECFMG are eligible for consideration without being required to pass an additional examination.

• Applicants who have passed Parts I and II of the Royal College exams are eligible for consideration without being required to pass an additional examination.

• Applicants who have passed the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam Parts I and II are eligible for consideration without being required to pass as additional exam


Also a religious sensitive and patient sensitive environment

2)
Saudi Arabia has a 3 year post graduation requirement then applying through 2 major agents in Nigeria, agents collect cash and arrange visas, arrange ticket and hospital postings from Saudi hospitals. It is a religiously sensitive environment with female restrictions but guys go to gather money to write exams to move up to Dubai (uae), UK plab, US USMLE, Australia AMC,
also need Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs certificate verification, mdcn certificate of good standing, maybe transcripts, maybe medicals. Saudi Arabia processing takes some time too..some months....ask the agents and ask questions too at the Saudi embassy





3)

Uk plab is all about getting your IELTS academic 7.o minimum in all sections and 7.5 cumulative average

Then registering your scores on GMC website and getting your GMC number

Applying and registering for March or November plab1 exam international exam dates in Nigeria, Sudan, southafrica, Dubai any centre of choice

You can also write plab1 multiple times in the UK if You have the cash

After passing Plab1 apply for UK visiting visa to go to UK and write plab2 exam and 1 month of plab2 school in hammed, swammy or Samson plab2 school is advised before exam


Find out if there is need for UK clinical attachments

If You pass plab2 in UK, get a job offer and fly back to Nigeria to write UKvi IELTS and apply for tier 2 labour shortage visa in uk nigerian embassywith Your job sponsorship letter
May need Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs certificate verification, mdcn certificate of good standing, maybe transletter, maybe medicals


Some people go for UK masters and write all the plab 1 and 2 there in UK and convert their UK student visa to UK tier2 work visa there in the UK for a UK government fee after passing plab1 and plab2
You cannot convert a uk visiting visa to UK tier2 work visa in the UK even if You pass plab1 and 2 and get a job and a job sponsorship letter. You have to come back to Nigeria and apply for a work visa tier 2visa with your letter of employment and job sponsorship letter and number from your UK medical employer and also do the IELTS ukvi exam if you did only IELTS academic before writing plab.
You would be given a 30 days visiting visa to travel to Uk and You will collect Your 3 year temporary residence and workpermit from uk government inside Uk.after flying and moving to the uk within 30 days of receiving your temporary 30 day visa.

You can only convert Your uk student visa to UK tier2 workvisa after passing UK plab1 and plab2 and getting a job and a job sponsorship letter there and you pay the visa conversion/ adjustment/ fees to the appropriate UK government agency/ authority there in the uk

I also heard You can do the IELTS ukvi academic before taking plab1 and still use the same IELTS ukvi academic result for applying for your uk tier2 work visa after passing plab 1 and plab2

Each ielts exam result only lasts two years.
Best Ielts test for plab is ielts ukvi academic

Doctors who wish to apply for temporary registration must complete fully Forms TR1/TR2 and attach the relevant supporting documents. The Forms will be considered by the Medical Council and assessed as to the applicant's suitability to apply for temporary registration.
The Medical Council will determine the applicant's eligibility to sit the Assessment Scheme or to be exempted from the Assessment Scheme. An applicant who considers he/she meets the criteria for exemption from the Assessment Scheme must specify, on the application form, the grounds on which the exemption is being sought.

All other applications will be considered for the purpose of sitting the Assessment Scheme. Applicants may be required to fulfil other conditions as specified by the Medical Council, to enable the Medical Council to make a decision in each case. Any expenses incurred by an applicant in fulfilling the Medical Council's requirements for granting temporary registration, are the responsibility of the applicant.

Applicants who fail to complete fully Forms TR1/TR2 and/or who fail to enclose the specified documents shall have their applications declared invalid by the Medical Council and the fee of IR400 pounds shall be forfeited.

Document(s) furnished in support of an application for temporary registration will be verified by the Medical Council. Where documents cannot be verified within a period of eight weeks of receipt, the application shall be declared invalid and the fee of IR400 pounds shall be forfeited.

Doctors declared eligible to sit the Assessment Scheme will be notified of the dates and locations of the assessments. Eligible candidates will be required to first sit the Assessment Scheme within a period of two years from the date of eligibility.

Doctors declared eligible to apply for temporary registration will be required, on making application for a initial period of temporary registration, to furnish the originals of all documents furnished in support of their applications a currently dated (within three months), certificate of good standing from the registration authority with which they hold full registration.

It is more scary to claim you are leaving your wife and children for a long time. They are wiser and know the way of Nigerians- first the husband applies and later brings his family. So they tend to punish you by denying you even if they will give you later. Personal experience- research + sowp were approved for husband and wife in 8/9wks. I would not want to leave my spouse in Naija, it is a young marriage so I added a letter to explain why I want my spouse with me. No too much story. White man not vindictive as you think. You can include as many lettters as possible. Explain your own case. Never do copy and paste.

Always assume that VOs are wiser than you.

For home ties, use land documents and state you have family members in Naija- parents and siblings. Some use leave of absence letter too.

executivegej:
A tip for all: Make good use of SOWP, apply for you and your spouse at the same time. No need trying visitor's visa for a spouse. Experience from inland show it is way better and in better stead to be granted.
