Hey guys, need your feedback on something asap
Im currently an undergrad at FUTA, 17 yrs i want to start working on my admission to SFU fall 2018 my main question is. Will 42k.CAD. from a Nigerian dormiciliary acct be good enough for the v.o

Tuition 15k
Living10k

Is the money yours and in your account or in your sponsor's account? if it's in your sponsor's account who is your sponsor to you? The said amount is more than enough but answer the above questions

Hello Everyone. Big ups to everybody contributing here and I'll really appreciate it if someone can help me with this problem. So I plan to start processing my travel and study soon but there is something that's been bothering me. I would like to work and possibly continue living after my studies in canada but I have a degree in psychology and I'm pursing an msc in the same course but apparently you have to have a PhD to practice psychology which means I most likely won't b able to secure a job after graduation. I would pursue PhD also but I only have funds enough to sponsor msc and would like to start working asap. My other alternative is to pursue a pgd in human resources management but I heard pgd don't get visas approved and also that lambton college is 27k c. a.d Anybody in canada that has any pointers would really b helpful. Thanks

What you said about PGD applicant is completely FALSE. Aspa your intended program I will advise you go for your Msc, don't worry much about your PhD for now as you can get full funding for that when the time is right. I am not yet in Canada but that's my little take in this, hope it helps. NB: concerning you bot being able to practice psychology with your Msc I can't say about that, people with experience should be able to explain that

@newman1010 congratulations to your younger brother, may God grant us ours as well

Passport at reach. Finally. From Aug 2016. This thread is bigger than anybody. And this thread will exist forever. Tenks to everyone. IBB

Thank God, start making your traveling arrangements

Cc: CanadianNurse, I also concur to @Cscd1234 view. You can go to the airport tonight with your family members (1 or 2) then you wait. Your family members' presence will help tackle your boredom and it will be fun too, also it saves cost. Have a safe trip in advance bro.

CanadianNurse:
find the person checking you in small change at murtala muhammed! They will check it in



Please my flight is by 6:25 AM, I can't meet up by that time from lekki

Anyone knows a reasonably cheap hotel around the airport?

Though I live close to airport road but won't be around tonight. The last time I checked the least I saw for hotel there is 15k(you hardly find any cheap hotel around that axis due to the easy access to the airport. I will advise you come around airport road today around 5pm today to book a room so you don't start rushing all the way from the island 2moro morning, try hotels inside Ajao estate as they will be less expensive compare to the ones on the main express to airport)

Markab:
EgyptAir allows for 2 check luggage weighing 23kg each. What happens when each bag weighs 27kg?

Please advice

Cc: gurus et al

You will be asked to pay for the extra 4kg on each bag, but I can't say how much they charge for it

ebby29:
Please can you kindly help with the number of the person that does the police clearance form. A friend in Lagos needs it. What and what does she need to take along please? Kindly treat as urgent please.

I have misplaced the number but once your friend gets to alagbon let him/her ask for Alhaja's office (should be the 2nd office structure and the 4th office on that same block ). your friend should start bargain from 3k (it wont exceed 5k)

jnyuwa02:
Is there an official CIC policy on it, instead of taking someone's word on it on this forum? It becomes contentious though, just when they accuse you of misrepresentation to respond in 15 days and just after you've done that, then ask to withdraw simply because its taking time. They will just slap you with a five year ban. My advice is wait.

Yes u can cancel ur application or request for your passport but it means automatic denial

ibbravura:
House pls.
After my approval since 25th.
I havent collected my passport o. I didn't get any mail for collection. When I tracked it. See below what its showing.
I dont knw if its ready for pickup o.
Biko.

Go to VFS to pick up ur passport, it should be there by now

DereI:
Oya no vex... I don comot mouth as I no dey ground as you say

Lol! I think she wanted to know more about feeding and other miscellaneous (other than accommodation ) that's why she said she wants someone that's already on Maple land for first hand info

[quote author=maziude post=59237683]Hello bosses,

Sorry for the silence. I have been busy with settling down and meeting deadlines.

So, a quick update.

Got my Social Insurance Number (SIN) on friday after many persuasion from my supervisor. It is a 5 minutes process atleast in my case. So even if you dont ger to do it at your POE, you can always do it at any Service Canada office closest to you (they are everywhere).

I dont know if I mentioned this earlier, please hold enough cash when coming. This is your first time in a new location and settling down might be abit on the high side until you get stable.

For those renting apartments, usually landlords require the first and last month rent before they lease. So if your rent is 450/month, you will be required to pay 900 instantly, then subsequent rent will be monthly. Now, you see where having cash at hand is necessary. You might use your ATM, but be sure that ATM is working to avoid stories. Better still, have cash at hand for immediate needs and some in your account.

Spending tips... use discount offers if they are being offered, spend when necessary, look for items on sale (even the people wey get the land sef dey look out for discount and sales...so no go dey form).

Lastly, if you sabi bone well, you go need to adjust your face oh to accommodate smiling, because dem sabi smile well for here even for the offices.

Safe journey to those landing this week and the coming weeks.

For the TRV hopefuls, goodnews is around the corner.

@dere, @yomalicious and those delayed, I salute your never giving up spirit. God go do am.

Regards everybody,

Mazi. Thanks for the tip boss, we will join u soon God's willing.

nattybanta:
You Can take PLC and SCADA courses before coming here, it would help you a long way in actualizing your dreams in the Emirates.

Thanks very much boss, I appreciate

maralina:
Medicals Passed!!!

Thank God for that, approval is next for you.

jnyuwa02:
Attending school this September is the benchmark he/she put on timeframe is the problem. Getting the finances okay is the better route. EE can come when it comes. Someone here testified correcting a denial based on insufficient funds, reapplying and getting approved in two weeks.

I think she said she intend resuming 2018 fall. so she has enough time to have gotten PPR before then

Tunjinodaysoff:
What are your interests...

English: IELTS+CELTA+TESOL
Tech: Depends on if its data, networking or programming
Travel and Tours: IATA based ticketing and reservations etc
PMP: Prince 2 plus whatever it is the PMP guys do
Quality: IMS, Engineering degrees etc
Food Safety: HAACP

These are my opinions o

and the list goes on and on

I love the electrical field, also I wouldn't mind venturing into networking or programming/app developing field as well (Electrical background actually gives me that flexibility ). Also there is the marine /oil and gas industry. I have heard of SAP(system application programming) wanted more info before deciding. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate

@Tunjinodaysoff and @nattybnta greetings from a silent follower. Pls can I know those other certifications that one can do and be placed high (though I know it won't be 100% guarantee). I studied electrical engineering(HND ), I will be grateful to get clues from both of you or anyone else who can assist.

maralina:
Guys I'm confused.. just opened my mail and saw this by Cic... but I did medical upfront... dunno what to do.. gurus in the house pls help me
.

 "We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message below for details"

Resend the medical form you got from the clinic to them and you will be fine. Also call the clinic to ask if them don send the result (them go say it has been sent but no harm in asking them again). oh boy e be like say na your "DAB" wake cic up oo. Lol! Congratulations

Yomseyyyyyy:
I got an admission for winter 2018 and I intend to apply first week of September do u guys think its still feasible to go ahead and get approval before my start date in January?

Yes, cic will have fewer applicants by then so they will attend to you faster. Best of luck

Jjxtobi:
Lol. I'm a lady ohhhhhhh. And Tanx. I think I've shared my profile before.

Sorry for the mistake sis, congratulations once again.

Congratulations bro. Thank God for your approval, may His name be praise

blueblood1:
Thanks voltie. appreciate.

I know MUN is affordable, but is it easy to gain admission, esp . for Nigerians?

MUN is fair when it comes to giving out admisison, there lots of Nigerians there. Just make sure you meet up with the school/department requirements and you will get admitted (not forgetting prayer as well)

kenny4uu:
Pls what is d meaning of SOP?

Statement of purpose

Teeyme:
Winter (january). Rounding up service this year November. Yes he made that clear in his declaration of sponsorship and in the study permit form under funds available.

Good, pls try if you can to include your own statement of account (especially the one you use to collect your allawee), it's not compulsory but I think you should I Clyde it since you earn something in service(hope you have some cash in it? no matter how little )

Teeyme:
Thanks for the rapid response.
Please, how do I go about proving that, should I provide their birth cert or make a statement in my SOP?

if you can get their birth certificate fine, but most importantly STATE IT IN YOUR SOP

Teeyme:
Good afternoon good people of nairaland. I am new here, and have gotten lots of information from this thread right from part 12, which am still reading. I am about submitting my application tomorrow, but would like to showcase my document for review. It goes thus;

And SOP addressing (career objectives,goals, purpose of visit, and why I choose Canada).
I am currently undergoing my nysc. And I am bothered about the situation of home tie, as it seems I lack one.

Your family is enough to be your hometie. Your profile looks good to me, but when are you resuming and when are you rounding up service? Hope you will round up service before going for the program? if yes try and state it in your sop. Your dad also needs to specify the amount he is committing for your studies . Lastly try and include your soa as well even you don't have large sum in it(just I case),

CanadianNurse:
someone dropped a police officers number that does it for 3k-5k so why all these hassle about pcc? @choky26 ask mcobex for the contact

@choky26 is based in abuja and he is jot coming to lagos. let him go with around 10k (that's what almost everyone that did their's in abuja have been paying).

cecechi:
Please is there any space on the form to give reasons for denial.

Yes there is (but it's optional). Also try to explain it on your sop cos I have seen here where applicants thick that they have been denied visa only and cic said they misinterpret so if possible try and explain any denial on ur sop so you can have something to hold cic to in case anything like that comes up

John991:
Guys am new here,will need alot of help.have been rejected a US study visa thrice now am thinking of Canada,which schools can I apply to and hope my US rejection will not affect my Canadian visa.

The program you intend going for will determine the school to attend, try and use Google to narrow your search. As for your US denials it won't affect your Canada application, but make sure you make it known to the vo when filling your form and writing your sop (also state the reasons you were denied and how you have tackled it in your Canada visa application). Best of luck
