You can submit your Canada Student Permit application from anywhere in the world and not necessarily your home country provided that you are LEGALLY staying in the country of your application. You'll be required to include your resident permit of the country as part of the documents required.

Pavore9:


OK, just asking because most Nigerian students studying in Kenya after graduation move to Europe/Australia for postgraduate studies.

If that doesn't work out, here's what you should do. Does the school upload transcripts online to school application portal? If yes, then get them to upload one on an application portal for a university provided you could download the document afterwards. You could begin an application solely for the purpose of getting your transcripts.

You'll send your login details to your school for upload.

You can try SciencesPo in France. Their application portal permits download of uploaded documents.

Stevenssen:
probably what I'll do. Thanks all

Can an upfront be done even after submission of the application online? Thought it could only be done before submission. Would be happy to get clarification. Thanks.

Tlontin:

I think it’s better you go for the upfront. You can have it at iom or qlife.

Thank you for all you do. My application is new.

TRV UPDATE for the week ending May 19th

This week was a relatively quiet one - though processing time remained at 9 weeks.

I would encourage those viewing the thread but have not submitted their timeline to please do, as it would help us make logical guesstimates on CIC processing time. Complete information is still needed from Dolapok, Seatea, Oni2019, Promise147, docsaj, Cutieflaky, Teejay30628, Klem28, Boe19, Ancy 26, Omarzx, Hiambenson, Wealthmiq, Teslimot01, Pelumi12, Harveygordon, Alexkrueger, Emeritus00, Chinonye94, Atamanekpen and Okoriekwe).

Finally, if you guys have any ideas on how we can present this information better or what else we can add to it or remove from it, I am always open any adjustment that'll make this better.

I think you stand a good chance. You will need a well written Statement of Purpose tying everything together and don't forget to get a study leave approval from your University.

ohis30:
I need to be adviced. I am indeed very new here. What are my chances? I intend submitting a paper application on May 28th.
I am a lecturer with a federal university;
I am married with a daughter, but intend going alone;
I gained a funded PhD program in McGill;
have a support document from Quebec (CAQ);
going for upfront medicals May 27th; and
my account balance is N1.5M.

Please respond with accounts or documents I need to add...
Thanks

I NEED HELP, MY FIRST TIME

All you need to do is to go with is your passport data page and a passport photograph. On the fees, I've read people pay between 5k to 7.5k. However, I did mine for 3.5k depending on who you meet. Go straight to the forensic section of the CID HQ to get it done.

MsAnne20:
Please do I need to go to Alagbon with any document to get my Police Clearance ?

Wow! That was fast. Can you kindly provide more details about your friend's application? Thank you.

TRV UPDATE for the week ending May 11th

CIC woke up from their inertia this week as lots of people finally got updates on their application. Congratulations to everyone that got approval alerts. For those that got SP outcomes that they weren't hoping for, I pray for God's guidance through this short-term setback and that he perfects everything in the end.

Finally, if you guys have any ideas on how we can present this information better or what else we can add to it or remove from it, I am always open any adjustment that'll make this better.

They do. You wouldn't know until you're about to submit your application. Apparently, Nigeria is one of the countries in UN poverty index.

AgroNACT:


Since when please? i never saw it on their website. Wanted to apply for thesis based MSc though.

Yes, University of British Columbia (UBC) waives application fee for Nigerians.

prehill23:

Still waiting for other options then i'll make a pick.

Kingjay007:
Yall that have done interviews.. Pls give us detailed info on how it went. So we can be fore-armed.

Interview was mainly about why I chose the school, future plans after school, my thought on law and morality (the interview was in respect of Law in TalTech) etc. The professor that interviewed me said they have all they needed to know about me in my motivation letter, however they need to observe my level of spoken English and that there was no right or wrong answers.

Goodluck to everyone yet to be interviewed.

Ps: She also said result would be out on Friday.

Suplexx:
Who has been scheduled for interview on International Business Administration in Taltech?

I got 12th February, 2019

Onabuchi:
Travel Group, paddy. I wrote to the embassy in Russia, they said we can come on a tourist visa and the necessary documents.. I also have contacted an agent who can get us tourist visa with ease.. So forming a team is better. No time to waist.

Hi Onabuchi, which school did you apply to? Travel group would be a good idea too. Wish everyone applying the best!

For those who applied to TalTech and are waiting for an interview date, it's advisable you email them requesting for a date. You will get a response same day or a day after your email.

ministerblessed:
Good Day everyone, just started my application today. I've been reading the posts, still on it. My course is International Business Administration for TalTech and Communication Management for Talinn. I wish you all including myself and my friend applying success. I have a 3.0 cgpa, will it still be possible to get an admission cos the requirements state that 60% of the possible gp.

I think it is possible. If you score up to 60% of the grade obtainable in your undergraduate. Your 3.0 actually amounts to 60% if you're calculating with 5.0 scale.

Godxilla:
Are you people getting replies yet from the schools? If so pls kindly share with us what you got and why? Thanks.

Yes. I got replies from the two schools I applied to; University of Tartu and TalTech. They're practically saying that my applications passed preliminary review and I meet the general requirements. However, my applications have been forwarded to the respective admissions committee for review. I will get notifications on their decision and if they need more information, I'll be required to participate in an online interview, date of which will be communicated to me.

Ps: I applied on 2nd and paid the application fee same week through someone in Germany. That may account for the quick responses I've received so far.

Godxilla:
This is so true. I just fell victim of this today. I got a response stating that my motivation letter was plagiarized and that it is unacceptable. So guys pls check for plagiarism so that the little things won't be the reason why you won't be admitted. All the best.

Oh really? When did you apply and to which school/course?

shezpwiti:
Pls can i get a sample of the motivation letter?

Sure. I can send you one. But your best bet is to answer the questions on the motivation to study the course on DreamApply. You could also check Quora for precedent motivation letter. Kindly note that admission office don't take plagiarism likely. So, I would advise you to be mindful of sharing your motivation letter and also run yours by a plagiarism checker online.

Ps: Try to be 100% original. If you're quoting someone, include a citation/reference.

hustla:


Time to check and review then
How have peeps been able to solve the travel stuff. To Estonia?

You may wish to read through previous comments on the issue here. It'll throw more light on your question.

purplebloom:
Good afternoon and happy new year everyone. Please is there anyone applying for International Business Administration in TalTech?

Second option in TalTech.

Hello people, happy new year. Applications officially opens tomorrow. Hope you've got all your docs in tact.

A tip on writing motivation letters which I learnt recently is to include that you've reached out to a professor/alumnus/current student of the program who offered more insights on the course. You can thereafter talk about it. Most importantly, the word limit is key.

Estonia plans to open an embassy in UAE. Let's hope it happens before the requirement of obtaining visa. That would be a good option for Nigerians.

2019/2020 Application.

Tallinn University of Technology (Now Tal Tech) opens its application.

Good luck to everyone applying for fall 2019/20.

I'll PM you. Thank you.

Warbay1313:




Is there anyone here who needs Euro, in exchange for Naira. Thanks

Take a bus going to Lekki-Ajah and alight at Bonny Camp. It's less than 5 mins walk from there. Tell them you're going to Walter Carrington Crescent. You have to look properly as there are many embassies there to ensure that you are at the right place. Good luck!

olenime:
