The Nigerian High Commisdion is in Ottawa & the service is excellent. You'll complete the application online and on the day of your appointment at the high commission you can get your passport within a few hours. Got mine within 3hrs about this time last year.

tbaib:


you can renew your passport in Toronto Nigerian embassy , whenever it is due. but that place consist of the worst set of people you can imagine it is very frustrating if i were you ill find a way to renew in nigeria before leaving. dunno if anyone has answered your question

You don't have to redo the test. Contact the hospital and ask them to upload it.
Go thru @Team12's post for more explanation re: medical request when medicals have already been completed.

Thomby2k12:
Hello my good people,
please I need your advice on my study permit application. I submitted my first application on 19th June, 2015 via the paper route; I got a medical request on the 13th of July 2015, and I completed the medical examination on the 21st July, 2015 ,but the application was refused on the 28th of July, 2015.

I decided to submit the 2nd application late August 2015 via the online route, but when I got to the point where I was to upload the proof that I had undergone a medical examination within the last 12 months, I uploaded a copy of the proof of medical which was sent to me on request from IOM, where I did the medical.

Today, I received another medical request from CIC in MyCIC account. Please, do I need to go to IOM and do another test? Advice urgently needed.

many thanks dear...I have actually checked the schs in Quebec, and non seem to be doing Masters in HR. I would have loved to study in that province.

Looks good. I suppose you're a fresh graduate hence no mention of employment. What program are you going for and what did you study in undergrad?

My candid advice:

Take your time. Don't rush to apply.
You can focus on gaining admission and work towards fall 2016. From my observation, there's desperation written all over your application, and even though it's the case with many applicants, the key to a successful application is to keep that desperation well hidden.

When you are ready to apply, be honest and clear in your application. It is true that they share information but you can find favor if you put up a clear, straightforward application.

i am not married...just use that status to apply for us visa, i grad in 2010 and and been working, i recently just did a prof exam which me lots money; CCIE to be precise, my acct is red now...very red...i will use maternal uncle as sponsor and also my pop man.
i am also trusting God for some financial support from the sch as i had a very good grade in UG.

what is your view.

Did you do upfront medicals? If yes, then you've to upload your proof of medicals while applying online. If you haven't done medicals, skip that section.

Babalola1990:
Guys please i need urgent response. Im trying to apply for study permit online. For medical examination upload, is it okay to skip that for now because the medical center told me they will only send my report directly to canadian embassy?

Concordia university is a good school. The people I know who are studying there are in degree programs though. There are NLers there too. Do a search like @thesoj suggested msybe you would find someone completing a graduate diploma there.

Odinwa:
Hello house,
I want to apply for graduate diploma program in concordia university, quebec. Please have anyone applied to this school before or been accepted or rejected by the school? I want to know if it's a good school cos I don't wanna waste my money in the application.
Thanks

chigoziri7:
Hello House,
Please i will like to consider applying to schools in the french speaking province of Canada. Please can any one help with info on schools that offer masters or grduate diploma or certifcate full time course program in Human resources.

I am humbly standing by for your responses...

Thank you and God bless

Do you want to study in French or in English?

English schools in Quebec : Concordia uni, McGill uni, Dawson College, LaSalle college. You'll have to check to see which offers your course.

EbuDox:
Pls house, Is 3.54/5.0 up to 77% (B+). Cos this prof said they strictly admit that.. Tho after evaluation from wes its 3.15/4.0

thesoj, sholay2011, ayotoluwani, berexio1 and others.

3.54/5.0 = 70.8% but
3.15/4.0 = 78.8% so I'll suggest you send your transcript (if you've a WES evaluation) as requested and see what they decide.

Thanks @thesoj & @justwise!

Congrats lamama1 & gabrola

@thesoj

When you have a minute, could you please help copy richcasey's post with the list of important links into this thread? I know you've included an hyperlink once and Emma copied the link to the list once but I think having the whole list posted at least once in this thread would make it easier for new people to see the answers to the questions, especially those browsing from their smart phones and who aren't tech-savvy. Some of them might not realize that the little hyperlink you added contains all the other links.

I tried copying it myself but I'm not that tech-savvy myself so it would let me copy it has the thread (part has been archived. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Thanks.

thesoj:

Now the waiting begins. I trust when you say you did your best that it must have been a strong application. Wish him all the best.

Not sure I understand your question. If you're asking about schools offering cheap PGD, I don't think such a list has been compiled, however here's a link for schools offering PGD. You can check if the schools you want are in the list.

Lobolintin:
People who wants Pgd which would they apply for ! Guess this schools don't offer PGD??

judnele:
Thank God canada at last.

Congratulations!! The stress of getting a new passport was worth it in the end!

Sorry this is coming late.

I'd say yes for wedding pics & marriage certificate under family information

No for work ID under passport & travel doc


Evidence of work, is if you're going for a program that has co-op or internship as part of the course. In which case you upload your admission letter in which it would be stated or a description of your program requirement.

austinebode:
Hello guy.

URGENT!!!

I'm up loading my doc for online application.
Please I need your help urgently on the following issues.

1. Is it ok to upload my marriage cert. And wedding pictures under FAMILY INFORMMATION section?

2. Work ID and BUZ ID CARD under PASSPORT or TRAVEL DOC section.

3. Need more clarification on "Evidence of work requirement in study"


Thanks.

So many questions at once.

Make you take am easy. First get admission then worry about of school accommodation with Nigerian students

It's kinda late to start an application for winter 2016, cos the admission process varies from weeks to months. Secondly, visa processing time ranges from 4-12 weeks, so realistically speaking, January 2016 is a long short (unless you've already gotten your application in).

Not sure what you mean by university 1 program, but I think it refers to the 1st year when you takes courses to build the required GPA for your desired major.

As for amount in sponsors bank account (we just finished discussing this, last 2-3 pages), you need at least :
((Annual tuition + 10,000 living expenses) x 2) + 2M buffer.

Solitin40:
hello house
i wnt to apply for university of Manitoba (jan2016) i hope it is nt late to start?
wht is university 1 program?
Is d tuition fee for a yr or per semester
whch one is suitable living on campus or off campus i prefer d off campus becuz on campus is tu expensive
How to get an apartment outside schk esp living wth Nigerians(undergraduate) 4yrs
Lastly how much is expected in ones parent bnk acct
tanks

Like the others said, keep the faith & hope for the best. If you get delayed at least you'll know what you can do to fix it. But hey, never say never, yours might be different.

AverageNed:
I know i am disturbing you all with my situation.
But i just wanted to know if there is anybody who has successfully gotten the student permit in my situation.

It depends on your field and level of study. You can check the website of the schools listed to see if they offer courses in your field, choose which of the programs you're interested in & then check the tuition fee. That way you can compare prices, you'll also find out if they are still accepting applications from international students for January 2016

Lobolintin:



Like how much brother and is the application still on sir

I don't know about Uottawa or LLM but some general points :
Check the instructions on the programme website, contact the course administrator/program advisor. Google samples of statements of purpose. Check the university graduate page if you'll find any Nigerian alumni or current student. Email them with specific, well thought out questions.

You don't need an agent for your application for admission or for TRV. A lot of people do it themselves.

annikanyi:
hello everyone, i am in the process of applying for a masters of law in uni of ottawa and osgoode law school for september 2016, my problem is how to put together my good application package. i have been advised to go through an agent but they are pretty expensive. what do you advise?
are there people in the house that have put out successful applications? i would not mind getting some tips and guideline s on howw to go about it. thank you.

Just make sure it's clearly stated why the company is sponsoring you i.e. What it stands to gain from investing so much in you. Also the account balance has to be very high seeing as a company has more expenses than an individual.

If you've got that covered, you're good to go & all the best with your application.

ikem01:
Hello Guys, my question is. A companynis sponsoring me, I have there Soa, LOL, CAC and Tax clearance. Since it's a company, is there any other thing I need from them. Do I still need my dad as a cosponsor cos the company can handle it.

Yes you can apply for all three of you.
However, I think using 3 sponsors might weaken your case. You could try applying alone, using just two sponsors and your family can apply later, though they might not be able to get their visas in time to accompany you.

On the other hand, since your husband is one of the 3 sponsors, it might not pose a problem. I'll let others with experience contribute.

uksconsult:
House good evening .please I would love someone to help with this few questions.I applied to a college in Alberta and was given an offer letter for January intake . So my questions are

2 what forms would both of them fill will applying with me .

3 .can I use 3 different sponsors. . My husband ,my elder sister and my aunt ?

Thanks would luv a response asap

Congratulations!! I'm happy for you. Your contributions on here are highly appreciated.
All the best as you prepare to come over.

ayooluwatoni:
All thanks to God my Study Permit (Visa) has been Approved!!!

You must understand that any response or counsel given here is done with the best intentions (to help out).

Undergraduate study costs are recurring over a 3-4year period and as such the proof of funds has to be strong & sustainable over the course of study.

The currently available balance in the account does not cover your expenses for the first year (tuition 20,000 + living expenses). So the VO would be thinking, even if your sponsor sells the land to pay your bills this year, what would he have left to sell next year? Not forgetting that he needs to meet his needs & cater for three other children as well.

As for how often teenagers are rejected, I do not know but if you ask are teenagers rejected, the answer is: yes. The VO isn't as concerned about your age as he is about the strength of your application.

Read through the previous parts of the thread to learn from others who were refused on financial grounds.

"its better to take the time required to sharpen your axe before attempting to cut down a tree than to go ahead striking the tree with a blunt hammer". (seen on NL)

Try to do as @ayooluwatoni & deedee0 suggested: beef up the account, if the duplex is a rental property then that's another steady income source.

AverageNed:
$20000
But what about the land? isn't it also important?
How often are teenagers rejected for under graduate?

AverageNed:
Im going for undergraduate

For undergraduate you'll need more than that seeing as it's 4yrs. I thot you were postgrad. What's your annual tuition?

Oh that's good news, the land can stand. Don't think you need to put the one you're building in.

I think you're good to go. It's true they'll take into consideration your 3 siblings but with the good flow and strong current balance, you should be ok. Of course, back it with prayers . You can check out how @deedee0 's presented her finances, she also has younger siblings in school but she presented in a way that worked in her favor.

All the best, no need to be down, work on getting your dad's account beefed up & victory is ahead.

****edited: @ayooluwatoni makes some good points. Liquid money usually makes a stronger case.

AverageNed:
I am the first born of my father. i have three other siblings.
And about the land in question it is valued at 9,500,000
I made a mistake It isnt sold
We also have a house which we are currently building.
I don't know if that can stand as an asset

Ajibade105:
@montrealer...Boss, can you drop your email address, pls

I replied your PM, check your inbox

AverageNed:
If he has valued land is that all i need?

depends on the value, if it covers all your expenses, it should be enough.

Do you have other siblings or does your father have other dependants?

I don't know any estate management programs but here's the link to the post (@richcasey's) which contains links to a list of Canadian schools & other pertinent info for applying for a study permit/TRV

Hello everyone, please am looking to do my masters in Estate Management in any good university in Canada within the next 2 years or less, been checking out some UK based ones but someone advised that i should consider Canadian ones too. I graduated with 2.1 in Estate Mgt by God's grace and also currently working. I have already started making some inquiries so as to plan ahead and will appreciate if anyone here will say one or two things to this regards either pertaining to a good university or otherwise. Thanks ya all.

AverageNed:
Thank you
so what do i do?

Get a co-sponsor or find if he has others assets ( land that has been valued, fixed deposits etc).
You need to show enough funds to cover your tuition plus about 10,000CAD for living expenses & a little left over afterwards.

I'll suggest you apply to both (if you can afford it) and when you've gotten admission to both you can decide. Reason being that, the factors governing gaining admission are many and diverse and you don't want to risk not getting an admission by only applying to one school. Besides, admission processing time varies, you might end up being grateful you had a backup plan. I've seen people come to Mcgill cos they were denied admission elsewhere. They never thought it would work out that way.

If you get your admission perhaps to both schools, then you can decide based on the course content, the support available, living conditions, job, PR etc. If your path leads you somewhere, most likely there's something for you there. Besides, there's no hard and fast rule, you can study in a province & settle in another upon graduation.

Hope this helps.

Giov:
my CGPA is 3.88. I'm also considering the possibility of securing employment and PR, which province is more favorable.

Hello,

I think it's on the low side. The amount that is currently available is only $7800 which would probably only cover tuition but no living expenses . If he is your only sponsor, you would need to find a co-sponsor.

This is because, N10M in your first point is not all available now, it shows good inflow but you've to consider your father's other dependants as well. As for the land he has already sold them so the money is no longer available.

It is different if it is land valued at 9.5M
Hope this helps.

AverageNed:
Good day House!
Please I wanted to know if these documents are suitable for my proof of Financial Support.
Everything is owned by my dad
1) a scannedcopy of his promotion letter in the company which he works which includes his name, name of organization, address, signature and signature of the CEO of the company with a break down of his annual salary with amounts to approximately #10,500,000
2) Reciept of two plots of land which he sold for approximately #9,500,000
3) Bank statement of his standard charted bank account with a balance of approximately 7,800 USD
Will these documents be able to prove as proof?
Thank you

I think you just highlighted some of things that some other NLers have tried to point out in the past.

Getting an admission doesn't depend only on your grades, it's the whole package: your grades, your experience, your knowledge of the field of study, your ability to research & to develop a favorable rapport with the academic advisor.

I'm glad you got the information you needed. As for those who promote PGD, don't blame them. They speak from their experience. Some applied to several Masters programs and were denied thus their reason for counseling others not to try. As for your friends who were denied masters admission following PGD, I'm sure there are other variables that contributed to that.

As @thesoj mentioned, I'm at McGill and open to help.

All the best with your admission & TRV process
