Do you want to study in the US or you want PR in the US? They are two different things

Both... To study Masters program in USA, complete studies, get Post Study Work Permit, and get a Residency Permit (PR) to remain in USA indefinitely. What is USA system? I understand Canada and UK, but I don't understand America's pathways to remain in USA after graduation. I don't even understand how to determine which American Universities offer Post-Study Work Permit.. I don't know these things well. I need a guide or a breakdown of details

To be honest, I really do not understand America's stance on Permanent Residency. I would like to study in USA but
I don't know what their PR is obtained. How do you secure a permanent residency in USA. Is it possible or is there a pathway to getting a PR in America through study route?

They lied to you. Government care less about your potential job after graduation. In fact, you don't even state that as your plan when you apply for study visa because it may suggest you don't want to go back home.

However, your CGPA is too low if that is over 5 and your last two years is not above 4/5. You may be better with a graduate certificate or diploma. If you are thinking job after graduation, then I won't advise you to do any political science related program. I dont think the job market is that great, but that won't affect your student visa.

If you want better job prospect currently, do something related to Data or IT. Since you did research for your undergrad, you probably have some data analysis skills and experience to defend your choice.

Another thing to consider is whether you are a fresh graduate or with some experience. That's a topic for your student visa and you should consider it before applying for admission. All the best.

I forgot to ask. I realized that Msc field on Social Work is actually on the Canada Skilled Occupation List...

Hello! Pls can someone help me with a sample of a Statement of Purpose (SOP) on Msc Social Work. Pls DM if you have SOP

TWoods:
Frankly no. What would you tell the visa officer you're getting this degree for?

Wow, that's serious. Based on the field description, it illustrates that one can be employable or work at hospitals or schools or NGOs related to health or social advocacy, inclusion and sundry.

Pls how much does it cost to write GRE exams... And Where does GRE exams hold in Abuja?

Pls does Msc Disability Studies have any good job prospects in USA?

Osemigho:
For immigration, no body cares about the name of your degree except for professional and highly regulated fields like Medicine and Law.

one thing I know is that the MA Disability Studies is a rare course, it's not even taught in most Nigerian universities (if not all). But since it's an interdisciplinary course, social science graduates can enrol in the Masters program based on what I've seen on the eligibility criteria in specific Canada Universities... The SOP is nearly as rare as the graduate course itself, very scanty to find

Hello guys! Pls can someone help me with a Statement of Purpose for studying Masters in Disability Studies. Pls indicate if you have a SOP on this Disability Mgt studies

Osemigho:
The easy and objective way to find out is to type the degreee or your potential role with it on indeed.ca

The website will bring all job advert that match your search criteria. After the initial result, You can change the duration/dates to know past ad too.

With this you will know how many jobs require your degree or what degree is usually required for preferred role. You can also do the search every month or two weeks to understand how the market is changing. All the best.

yes, I recently did something like this few days ago on Indeed.ca . It appears to have multiple career opportunities. But I still don't know whether Disability Studies is actually specified on the Skilled Occupation List or not

Toceen2022:
Lemme get you right... Your undergraduate degree is in political science and you've not had any work experience in disability studies field, like teaching or counselling?

Well, if that is the case, I'll strongly advise not to go for the program. Such programs are highly professional and require strong background in courses like learning, child development (emotional, cognition and social), and a lot of psychological studies in education as prerequisite before doing a masters. It's almost impossible to secure admission without having such background. But many schools may accept years of experience in that field to cover for it.

But, it doesn't affect the process of getting a PGWP either course or thesis base route.


Noo, I don't... You can Google it.
SOP related to special education or child support care could be useful too.

I actually have teaching experience, though it was only one year

Toceen2022:
It's a very good course in developed countries. After graduation, you can work in all educational settings, community organizations and with government. If you even go for thesis route, it'll be great. There are many research institute and government spend millions on research as grants every year.

University of Manitoba is one of the school that offers the program.

pls do you have a sample of SOP for Disability Studies?

My field is political science. What if I simply go for the course based Masters program? Does it affect the process in which one can obtain a Post Study Work Permit after studies?

yemiezay:
well the one i know of is college of nova scotia

do they offer PSWP after studies like some New Brunswick colleges do?

Hello everyone.. Abeg is Masters in Disability Mgt Studies a vital or good course to go for in Canada? How valuable is the Msc Disability Studies in terms of job/career prospects or employability in Canada?

Kenyata:
Master of Social Work will give you rest of mind when you want to apply for PR. Go for it.

I have also considered this path too... Infact, Masters in Social Work is ten times more important than Political Science field in terms of job prospects. I'm also considering MA. Disability Studies too.

Hello room pls I need to ask:

- I am a graduate of BSc Political Science with a CGPA of 3.04. I want to study Masters degree. Pls is it true that Political Science does not guarantee Permanent residency in the near future in Australia?

- If true, which postgraduate course related to Political Science can I study and that has PR prospects and career prospects

Osemigho:
They lied to you. Government care less about your potential job after graduation. In fact, you don't even state that as your plan when you apply for study visa because it may suggest you don't want to go back home.

If you want better job prospect currently, do something related to Data or IT. Since you did research for your undergrad, you probably have some data analysis skills and experience to defend your choice.

Another thing to consider is whether you are a fresh graduate or with some experience. That's a topic for your student visa and you should consider it before applying for admission. All the best.

One thing I also want to clarify is whether studying any Masters degree within 18months duration and above with a 3 years post Study work permit (PSWP) can guarantee a Permanent Residency (PR) in the near future. How accurate is this information?
Secondly, I have heard that changing career path or choosing a different course is hard in Canada esp when there's limited or no experience in that field and also in terms of obtaining a student visa...
Sadly I don't have an IT work experience. The only thing I know is just Graphic design. Not familiar with programming or coding except for the online training I'm still doing on Web Development. Which IT field can you suggest to me that is slightly related to my field or that doesn't have programming or coding?

To be honest, I still find change of course somehow complicated because I really can't tell which one is smooth enough to sail through the visa process.
Is it possible to study courses like accelerated Nursing degree at a Postgraduate level?

Pls I need advise. I graduated with a BSc in Political Science (3.04 CGPA) in 2015. I intend to study Masters in Canada but I heard that studying Masters in Political Science does not guarantee Permanent residency (PR) in the future because Political Science isn't a degree with skills in demand. Pls is this true?
If true, which Masters degree course can I opt for or change to even if it is unrelated or partially related to my background?

Ruby22:
Could you kindly explain how soon one can change schools inside Canada after enrollment. Does it have a timeline? Does the student have to be studying for a week, 2 weeks or fir how long. I will appreciate help with this from the gurus.

I'm interested in knowing this pls... Is it possible to change course to a different field of study that is not related to your previous degree eg from MA. Political Science to MSc Digital Marketing course ?

napoleonbaba:
None, although I'm currently learning Javascript

good idea... It is better to train oneself on programming first before going to UK to study the complex degree

napoleonbaba:
Hello, I'm a Political Science graduate as well, I recently got an unconditional offer from University of Westminster (Software Engineering (Conversion)

Do you have any IT training certificate or IT work experience?

Feyeemi:
I’ve you seen a lot of folks here Jumping from Social science course to IT. It’s really laughable. There’s nothing easy about IT courses not core ones like Cyber security. Starting from an advance level even makes it more difficult. All the best though

do you have an IT background?

Fibonacci2021:
Data Science and/or Machine Learning and/or Artificial Intelligence

Data Science sha

Ok, but what about Cyber Security? How easy is it?

Hello everyone. I am a political science graduate, but I am seeking a career change to IT field. I want to do Conversion course on IT path thru Masters degree. Pls which IT courses among others can be regarded as the most suitable choice to study esp. for people with very little background in Computer Sci/IT or zero IT experience,?
