TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Ogedadiva: 4:47pm On Aug 24, 2020
Good afternoon wonderful people !
I am here again for your beautiful clarification.

I was here few months or thereabouts making enquiry about PhD programs. Adviced was given and so far I have messaged 13 lecturers for supervision.


One of the lecturers replied me today and I didn't understand whether he want to supervised me or not.

I also don't understand next line of action.

Please,I need your expertise advice and input.


Thank you very much for all things you all are doing here.

Attached is the response.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Ogedadiva: 12:41pm On Jul 19, 2020
Please,I will like to send you an email . Thank you for your encouraging words.


quote author=neverlosehope post=91659373]I am overwhelmed with gladness that there are well meaning Nigerians coming to my defense. I am touched beyond words.

@vibrant99, don’t start with questioning the motives but try an open your mind. With God’s grace, great opportunities are possible. The focus of the story was not about me but to encourage people and debunk some untrue believe systems that we have in Nigerian.

Yes, I had 2.2 from Nigeria. Yes, I was almost 40 years when I left the shore of Nigeria with my family and I got fully funded scholarship. My tuition was waived till $25, therefore all I have to pay every semester is $25 and fee which was less than $800 every semester. I was paid $15,000 stipend every year for 9 hours/week tutoring students in Maths Lab. Yes, i subtained my family with the stipend by knowing what to spend on. So you are wrong, I did not attended a low rated university in US neither do I graduate for Arabic language ( what is wrong if I graduated in Arabic, it might not be a good program to you, but that might be the strength of others). For your information, I graduate with Masters of Science degree in Mathematics (Option in Statistics) with a very good GPA. I left US not because I was unable to get admitted into US universities for my PhD. In fact I got over 5 universities admissions fully funded with the least stipend of 25k per year. I left because of the broken immigration laws in US and because my wife could not work but can do so legally in Canada.

Again, your statement about Canada regarding me is incorrect. I got a very generous stipend for my Ph.D program in top 10 university in Canada. I had a stipend of 36k per year as Research Assistant and extra 18k working as a Teaching Assistant. Yes, I finished my coursework with GPA of 4.0/4.0. I don’t believe for a second that I am extraordinarily. All these is possible with the assistance of God and it could happened to anybody.

Few people had contacted my over the years through this platform. I have been able to render my assistance as much as I can do. They even have my contact details which shown the authenticity of my story.

Again @vibrant 99, please do not tie people down because you don’t believe them. If you have not seen witness it, that does not mean it is not happening. My story is not unique, I have countless stories of Nigerian with merger beginnings achieving impossible high.

Lastly, the crux of sharing my stories is that nothing can stop you for achieving your dream. Not your starting place, not your age, not your accent. Only you can stop yourself.

Please hold on, keep working, keep believing. God will surely make a wake and you will smile. See you at the top !!!!!!!![/quote]

Thank you very much please. The truth is that I don't really know much about PhD in abroad. I will Google and get as much information as possible. Thank you once again.

I’m happy you know your best option. Google search programs In Canada. The website is a database of educational programs in Canada, particularly universities program.

We are just entering the season of supervisor search for Fall 2021. So you came at the right time. You have a lot of work to do for you to gain PhD admission, but I suspect you may know how much it is. How? You are asking for a link to Educational Psychology programs.

You need a supervisor. Getting one is not always easy and this is what determines where you will apply to. Also, getting a supervisor does not mean you will get admission. So you need supervisors in And apply to more than one school.

Google and read how to do it. Some pages on this thread already have the hints. I don’t save them because I don’t need them. You need to find, read, and understand them. The good thing is that you have time. You can start your supervisor search in August. This means you have to read and understand the requirements within a month.

All the best.

Hi,

The phrase "The program is not yet run in Nigeria" might not carry much weight, and the distance of ur academic qualifications to a DIPLOMA is way too much

For progression in ur academic background as mentioned,

PH.D is your best shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if ur e-mail to the Professor/Dr. , PH.D thesis proposal is tight, u can even get Partial to Fully-funded Opportunities

Visit the links below for schools offering
PH.D in Economics in CANADA

https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Economics&program_level_merged=Doctorate&program_language=ENGLISH

U can also use the link to search for PH.D programs related to Economics in skools in Canada if Economics is not ur area of interest for PH.D

Note:
Since ur possible admission intake is JANUARY WINTER 2021 intake,
U can as start contacting and sending mails to potential supervisors, cos the duration of getting a PH.D/Masters Admission can quite long or sometimes longer (2-5 months)

Check my post on page 112 on

HINTS ON SECURING ADMISSIONS IN CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES (PARTICULARLY MASTERS' DEGREE)

TIPS ON GETTING A SUPERVISOR FOR RESEARCH/THESIS BASED M.Sc and Ph.D Part 1 & 2

Also, there is a Video there with very Vital Tips , it will help u alot

Watch it from the beginning to the end..

All da best ma'am!!!!!!

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Ogedadiva: 5:37pm On Jul 05, 2020
Good evening house. Please I need a headup urgently.
In 2018,I applied for Postgraduate Diploma programme in Economics. My Visa application was denied.

My academic background : I'm a First class graduate from University of Ibadan,department of Economics Education. I just concluded my Masters last December from University of Lagos.

A family friend encouraged that I apply for a short program of one year. The program is a diploma course.


My concerns: The course is not a progression of my academic background. However,it's a program that's not yet run in Nigeria.

Please what's your take on this? Anyone that can help ,please?Should I go ahead or start looking for PhD.programme in Canada ?

I am 37 years,married with three kids.

Haa! Thank you so much,what a relief.

realshifu:
No Ma/Sir. This does not qualify as misrepresentation. It's a reasonable estimation and calculation for a year. My admission offer didn't carry an end date too only start date, but since it's 2years, I entered 31st August 2020. It's an estimation it's not set in stone.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Ogedadiva: 4:43pm On Aug 18, 2018
In retrospection, when I was checking my application online after I linked it, i noticed that I filled 3rd of September in a space for graduation date on my own. This is holistically because I didn't see any graduation date in my admission letter, only resumption date was written which is 4th September,and I was thinking that I need to fill that space, so since I am going for a year's program, I calculated it to 3rd of September.
please house,can this be referred to as mispresentation too?
BTW, I stumbled on this forum after I submitted my application.
