Thanks so much I duely appreciate for your efforts but pls I have statement of result only now though I’m working for my certificate.will it be a hinderance in the form filling?
No, it won't. The statement of result is still okay for now.

But you must attach your transcript (official or student copy), SSCE results, and the statement of results and with the application.

Both your transcript and SSCE are very important.

Pls help me ask your friend if ielts exams was required during her own time thanks
I just used her as an example of a third class, I'm also going to the same university but with 2:1. I discovered the university and I know everything about their admission process.

No IELTS is required. What you need as your academic qualifications are your BSc certificate, BSc transcript, and SSCE. Their application fee is 75 CAD for a single program of 8 months but the fee is higher for a dual program that is more than 8 months.

But note that after offering you a Conditional Letter of Acceptance (LOA), they will ask you to tell your university to send them your official transcript using your university official email address before they can send you Unconditional LOA. So, you need to work on how to make your university do that on time during this ASUU strike.

Their tuition deposit is 500 CAD but they will still give you your Unconditional LOA before you pay it if you meet other requirements above.

Their school fees is 22,000 CAD and above which is expensive, but I chose the university because their admission and other processes are very easy, it is a DLI and has Post Graduate Work Permit.

I won't be able to assist you beyond this information I've provided. Check their website yourself and do a research on it to get all the information you need. That's the best way to go. It very easy and not difficult at all. You don't need anybody to do it for you.

Work hard and handle everything yourself including the visa application by employing all the relevant information available on this platform.

All the best.

You are absolutely on point. PhD is even too far, most Nigerian universities don't/won't accept HND for Masters regardless of your experience.
Actually, some universities in the US do not have terminal Master programs. What they have is Master en route PhD. That's, they will admit you as a PhD student but you will do your Master along the line in the first year but you won't be awarded the Master until you finish your PhD. So, when you finish your PhD, they will give you both Master and PhD at the same time. That's what the lady just got.

I got to know this when I was trying to apply to some US universities.

My brother, whether or not it's easy, she would not have gotten admission for a PhD program in Nigeria.

This is to show that something is wrong with us. We are not thinking straight. Here in Nigeria, we just hate to hear the word "diploma" to the extent that many here cannot differentiate between Diploma, AdvDip, HND and PGDip.

I once said it here that in the US, one can get admission into Master's degree programs with HND (Pass), some people here disagreed.
I agree with you 100%. I was just saying it's not that easy.

Aside that, kindly share with me the list of universities where HND can get PhD admission. I've a lot people around me that need the list.

She doesn't owe him (or any of you) any answers. His accusations are baseless and this witchunt isn't rooted in anything rational. Before today, the last time she posted on Nairaland was in 2019 and that was on her personal diary/motherhood thread.

She clearly came back to find more information for her husband's application and given that she successfully helped him get into his school of choice, she offered to help the plethora of JJCs who post about needing help navigating admission and its requirements.

Since when did offering FREE help become a sign that one is a scammer? Has anyone come out to name her or signify they're a victim? Why exactly are we listening to the words of a drunken-sounding stranger who has not provided proof nor structure to their bold accusations?

People like you who uphold mob mentality are just as dangerous as cretins who initiate it. Do better.
Honestly, the similitude of the way you construct your sentence with that of the person you seem to be advocating for is making me to suspect that it is the one person that is behind this particular account and her own.

True.

However, the lady has about 4 years experience as a lecturer/teaching assistant in the same polytechnic as she was retained immediately after her HND.

In addition she's a member of some professional organizations and has publications too. These factors and others we may not know may also have played a huge role in the amazing offers she got.

All the same, congratulations to her and wishing everyone all the best. smiley
I learned she also finished as the best graduating student of her set. Moreover, the application fees to those 7 universities is close to US$1,000 in total. How many graduates can afford that in Nigeria? It is not that easy as she tried to paint it.

Please do something for me. On a piece of paper, write out your Congratulatory message the way you want it. For example “Congratulations Charito, your study permit application was approved, kindly send us your passport to finalize your application” Add a date next to it, make sure the date is this week..
Write other things you want in the Congratulatory message.

I don’t know but I think you are a Muslim, I don’t know if you do night prayers... if you do, please pray at night, after prayers send your last mail and webforms to the Chinese offices... make sure you narrate this anxiety of yours and bp due largely to their delay in your application. (That would be the last mail you will send to them because an approval will come forth) You are to pray with your congratulatory message oh.

Then you can email me your full name or drop it here if you don’t mind. I also want to join you in my own prayers. E don reach to battle this thing spiritually.

Anyone else who has waited endlessly can also drop their full name as it is in their application:.. let’s summon these VOs on the Altar of Fire.

You can also pray for me too... we can support each other spiritually by praying... it’s not easy but it must end soon.
Please share the email of the Chinese office with me here.

1. You came here claiming you need help to help your husband. Abi? Fine

2. On her Signature and profile. She put " Need to migrate abroad? Contact me. www.Immigrate****.com

Somebody that says is an agent on her profile and asking people to contact her.
How come you are looking for help for your husband again biko?


3. She then post I will process free admission but not visa

Na the normal package. Free admission, but pay for Visa. Na the scope be that

4. She's posting here for the first time.

5. When I noticed this, I challenged her


What did she do?

................................

She quickly deleted everything relating to agent from her profile. And started forming innocent

This scammer @Nezzel joined this thread since yesterday and there is not even one question about her so called husband application. Why? Because it's all lies She's not here for any husband

Guys is it advisable to go for police clearance or not. I completed application form but on the document upload section their is no section requesting for police clearance, it went straight to payment for biometrics and visa. Is it that they will ask for it later I want to be sure before dashing those police free money. I use the IRCC new portal
People have been getting study permit approval here without police clearance. That indicates that it's not compulsory.

LANDING GIST

Short landing gist my people, so I travelled from Ibadan to Lagos on the 5th of August and got to the airport around 10:30 am.

The first immigration officer checked my passport and told me to get in. Then I went to the EgyptAir counter. The immigration officer checked all my documents and all, scanned them and told me to go weigh my bags. A woman(another immigration officer) coordinating helped me with my bags( I gave her small money after sha).
My bags were on point, with no excess luggage or whatever. After I was issued my boarding pass to Cairo and from Cairo to Toronto.

We took off by 3:00 pm WAT and got to Cairo around 10-11 EEST, the layover was for five hours and we took off from Cairo to Toronto by 2:30 am EEST.

The food on both planes is kind of meh… Manageable and somewhat Ok.

We finally got to Toronto by 7:20 am EDT.
Now, this was the test of faith part, the queue was sooo long, I thought I will die from standing, later, they told all of us with a study visa to come to another place. We stayed there and queued there. That’s how another female immigration officer came to collect all our letters of introduction, then we were asked to sit down.
Omo, na me first get to the seat.

It was very easy, they just called our names, confirmed our date of birth and viola, I was given the study permit. They didn’t even check other documents.

The process was smooth and no hiccups whatever, but Canada is far sha.

EgyptAir broke my medium luggage at the lower side ooo, I have sha asked for compensation. Hopefully, they reply me soon.

Toronto is beautiful and quite hot now.

Ps: Just take all your documents and relax, nothing to really stress about. Having the right documents will make the process as smooth as silk for you.

The journey is worth it guys, for those waiting, I believe you will get it soon.
I appreciate all the info I have gotten here since DAY 1. Blessings to all the legends!!!
Belle110, congratulations and may prosper in Canada.

Please, kindly share with me the email address (es) of the MP (s) you contacted then before your eligibility review started. My school is also in Toronto, Peterborough to be specific. In fact, I'm an Ibadan boy like you.

Hi WiZiggy,

Your application is just 8 weeks. Therefore, IRCC might not be obliged to expedite your application. However, here is what I would suggest, considering your situation, write the member of parliament in your school's jurisdiction. Appeal to him/her emphatically without claiming any form of right, then hang on for feedback.

Can't wait to celebrate with you!
Please do you have the email addresses of the MPs in Ontario particularly Peterborough and Durham that you can share with me?

Examples of what you can provide as proof:

A scanned copy of:

Your flight ticket departing Canada,
Your travel itinerary (e.g. places you will visit or stay, such as hotel booking),
Proof of a medical appointment.

This is my gcms note that I got today can anyone interpret?

I used my dad's company account he is the owner
The balance there was 8m I also used his savings account with a balance of 5m
My course is biochemistry for four years and I'm an undergraduate 19 years
Any guru who knows the interpretation please?
I don't know whether the same thing applies to Canada, but let me just tell you what the Visa Officer that interviewed me for a student visa in 2019 at the US Consulate as quoted below:

"Your school fees is N10m and the balance in the bank account of the company you presented to be your sponsor is also N10m. It's not possible for the company to spend all its money on you alone without being affected. Your visa application is therefore refused."

Na so the woman just handed me that rejection paper.

So, I'm guessing the VO refused your application maybe because the difference between your total expected cost in Canada and the total amount in the company's plus your dad's accounts is too small.

What I have is a small sticker pasted on one of the photocopies of my international passport which they returned to me. It has my full name, date of birth, IRCC number, and Biometric ID. Are these the same details you have on your yellow slip. If yes, maybe they have changed it to this sticker.

So I just checked. I was given my yellow slip and the consent form I signed at the centre that day. But I think just the yellow slip should suffice - else, I'm sure the consent form can easily be gotten. Its not like they stamped it or anything.
I need some clarifications please:
1. Did you do your biometrics in Lagos or Abuja and when?
2. What do we need the yellow form for? Because, they didn't also give the yellow form to all the people that did the biometric before me today in Abuja.

If the yellow form is very important, that means I will have to go there tomorrow to find out why they didn't give us.

For Abuja IOM, those people no dey too follow time. I've been there like 3 times for different purposes and they didn't follow time. But make sure you get there before 11am so that you can finish on time. It's a long process with a series of tests you will do. I left there around 5pm despite that I got there with my family at 9am.

My family and I did our upfront medical on July 19 at IOM, Abuja. The last nurse that attended to us told us they would send our results to IRCC within 5 working days and we too would get an email notification. But up till this moment, we are yet to receive any email.

Please I want to know if this is normal.

Moreover, we just submitted our applications today. Could that be the reason IOM is yet to contact us via email as they promised?
