Yes, you can if you wish to and are not constrained by the application fees required. However, note that you only need one.

Okay thank you

SOPWriter:
You’re welcome. Since you studied Civil Engineering and have practical experience in the field, I have gone the extra mile to handpick the following programs for you:


1. Conestoga College: Civil Engineering Technology (3-year Advanced Diploma)

2. Fanshawe College: Construction Engineering Technology (3-year Advanced Diploma)

3. Centennial College: Construction Project Management - (1-year Graduate Certificate)

4. University of New Brunswick: Construction Engineering and Management (MEng)


All four are available and their curriculums are quite appealing, going by your profile. Go ahead and apply if you love them.


I can't wait to read your success story.

Wow God bless you. I will search about them thank you very much. Which one is best or I should apply to all of the schools?

SOPWriter:

Going by your recent posts, I can say that if you have naturalization in view, Canada is generally considered easier and faster than the UK for an international student. So, you likely made the right decision. However, the last time I checked, Construction Management was suspended at Conestoga College, so you may want to revisit your choice.

As for whether Construction Management is a good program, I would say it is. But like most engineering-related fields, employers tend to require practical experience. That said, it’s still very much worth it, especially when you consider the ongoing infrastructure growth and housing demand.

If I might ask you, what was your undergraduate program?

Very helpful thank you very much. I study Civil Engineering. I work in real estate development company and I teach A level mathematics tutorial side job. I have experience. How will I know the course they have not suspend? Please help me

Good evening. I want to try Canada because I can become a citizen easily after I graduate. I want to know if Construction Management in Conestoga College is a good course. Will I get employment with this course?

This is very helpful. Thank you. You this JapaProf see human being here. You did not know something and you are saying another thing. Sorry sister, Is this one cheaper than Canada?

JapaProf:
There is a UK thread; which is the first thread in the travel section.

Have ask there. Nobody have answered. Answer me if you know the answer please

JapaProf:
Provided he is ready to transfer the funds to you and depending on his account balance, some level of financial commitment will be expected from you, if he has like 200m and he wants to be your sponsor, he can easily pay the full tuition fee for you. Establish the relationship in your SOP, you can also add family tree for further clarity.


"Cheap" to enter - UK
Easy to enter - UK.

How much before I start school? What is the total amount I need?

Tybalo:
Good day house
Pls I am about paying my school fees the deposit is 10k
But I have 5k now that I want to pay
Is it advisable to pay that first to secure my spot ?

Thanks house
The school is university of hertfordshire

Sorry I don't know if Canada or UK is the best option. How much is the total before I start school?

SOPWriter:

In that case, paying his tuition will significantly strengthen the financial credibility of his application.

Regarding your other questions, he must show a minimum of $22,895 CAD for his living expenses, plus between $2,000 CAD and $3,000 CAD for miscellaneous costs, including travel. That brings the total to approximately $25,000 CAD.

If we convert that to naira, you’ll realize your mother’s ₦25M is just at the baseline of what IRCC requires. This is quite concerning because IRCC always wants to see that a sponsor’s finances are not completely depleted by their commitments.

Therefore, I recommend that your mother increases her available funds slightly, while you proceed with the tuition payment as planned.

Note that paying his school fees makes you a co-sponsor, so anyone covering his expenses must be able to prove the source of their funds.

Wishing you all the best.

Sorry I have a question. UK or Canada which one is cheap to enter. Which one is easy that I can enter this year?

Thenomad:
