Hello fam,

Please i an a newbie and i have read the wealth of knowledge here. Thank you so much for these resources.

I look forward to applying to the university of Regina in saskatchewan. I have read up the requirements and done some research. But i still have some confusions.
They requested that the transcript be sent to WES _ ICAP. I have read what it is all about but by problem is how to go about it. How do i get my school to send WES so they can now send to university of Regina

Secondly i have seen thier tuition fee page but honestly i don't understand it. It contains so many figure you don't know which is which. Please if any one if familiar with the university of Regina, please kindly put me through so i know exactly what i am getting myself into

Thanks a million.

Update##

Canada is such a beautiful, cold and amazing place with good people.

I wake up each day amazed and greatful that I'm here. God indeed has a plan for everyone.

(Employers work with your schedule here no do or die affair)

I've met blessed, friendly, beautiful , nice , heartwarming Nigerians here since I landed ( like the Nigerians here go the extra mile to help you out, a lot) Clothes, shoes and pick-up when you're stranded in the snow, everything the whole package including information. (Information is key here and helps you figure out things faster).

I wake up everyday with the realization that come dawn and dusk power doesn't go out chaii. There's wifi and an open food pantry in school. Everything is working perfectly.

The university is such a beautiful place with nice lecturers that respond to your emails. ( Pls come prepared because the lectures here are mind-blowing)

The snow here is on another level and there's the bus. Missing your bus while walking to the bus stop will get you annoyed especially when you've missed it twice and you're running after a bus that's not stopping ( sigh).

Foodstuffs here is ok. There's Knorr here btw but indomie noodles oh boy is freaking expensive 25 cad for one box and powdered milk is a no go area. You can get semolina from the superstore for 3 cad thereabouts.

Canada is amazing and everyone waiting for their PPR will surely get it. God never forgets his children.


Good night everyone

PS: For the ladies hairdressing and nails will fetch you good quick money here.

No stress

Hello @Oldfashioned145.
Thank you for responding.
Oh wow and I just registered for the IELTS test out of fear. Oh well!!

I applied for Fall 2023.
Any pointers that would help would be appreciated.
Is there a WhatsApp group for the school?
It would be nice to be more enlightened.
I wouldn’t have registered for the test if I had known.

I’ll start with the consistent mails ASAP
Thank you once again.

Hi. The university of Regina waives IELTS for Nigerians and if I may ask what session did you apply for.

Also you need to send them consistent mails untill you get a feedback from them.





Eseosajoy:
Hello @Oldfashioned145
Please can you give an estimate on how long it takes to get a response from them? I’ve applied since November ending but no response yet. No response about WES sent to them too.
Could it be because I didn’t upload anything for test scores?

And do they need IELTS test even after meeting the requirements of being taught in English?

I’d really appreciate your response. Thank you �

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Oldfashioned145: 7:57pm On Jan 02, 2023
Ok guys so the continuation....

After I landed at Doha. It was a pretty cool airport where everyone was taking pictures with Messi on a small billboard in the airport.

I had a layover for 6 hours and before I could board the plane I was told to check in my carry on because the airplane was too small ( I foolishly did and herein lied my first mistake).
Me thinking at least I won't be struggling with bag from plane to plane took the relief and boarded the plane only for me to land in Toronto and here a big problem started.

I landed in Toronto on the 24th and was told my flight had been cancelled that I should go make a reservation upstairs.

Easy peasy right.... Well it wasn't because I needed to telephone their agents and there was quite a queue.

Eventually I got on the telephone, was placed on hold for 2 hours by then the queue was becoming more and more longer and then to my frustrations the only thing I got from the agent was that my bags had already been checked in and before she could reschedule I needed to go check out my bags at the airport desk then re phone them again.

Which meant I had to Requeue.

After checking out my bags I had to get something to eat and woooah Toronto tax was pretty not pocket Friendly.

I had to Requeue which meant I spent my night on the queue because the line was very long like filling station fuel scarcity long and then add the extra 2 hour hold on every call made.

I managed to get on the phone Christmas morning and boom my flight was rescheduled to 29th and it wasn't a direct flight anymore it was a connecting flight to Calgary

Anyways lemme cut the long story Short.

I fell sick at the airport, like vomiting blood that kinda sick and also air pressure was trapped in my ear because of the plane descent and all my drugs were in my checked in bags. I was also really cold at the airport like freezing cold i had to be washing my hands with hot water every 30.min

But shey you dey whine divine health ni?

Had to find an airbnb. AirBnB was really cool.

Landed in Calgary on the 29th by 12 midnight. Slept in the airport because my connecting flight to Regina was 30th by 9am.

Finally got to Regina... woooah and its been great so far.

I'm Greatful to God for divine strength because my journey wasnt like the others but I sailed through.

PS. CBSA didn't really ask me anything they just printed my study permit and the officer asked me what was my school and program. That's all although there was one man officer that was really tackling students baba was even asking indian students what was their favorite dish.

AND MY PEOPLE AS I SIT HERE TYPING THIS I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY OF MY BAGS yet BUT AIR CANADA MATTER DON TIRE ME anytime they're ready so am I apparently my bags were still in Toronto when I landed at Regina but.....


To God be the glory

















Oldfashioned145:
Ok so here it is

LANDING GIST....

FIRSTLY thank you father for this opportunity to write this up, I'm forever gratsful, all glory honor and power belongs to you.

Ok so my flight was 23rd of of December via Qatar Airways ( 2 stops Doha and Toronto). Costs 1.2

Anyways got to the airport by after 5 because I live close to MMA ( e dey do me say I forget my sponge wey i put for ziploc bag Sef ).

Was asked for my passport and E ticket at the entrance then they wanted only me to go in without my dad, But my dad bless his heart pulled ranks as per immigration officer whey him be with multiple stamps on his passport. Them allow am enter fast fast.

We got to the weight scale and my properties were as follows one Ghana must go the gray one ( 29kg) , one box( 32kg) carry on( didn't weigh)and one laptop bag + hand bag.

The guy weighing the stuffs as per Jim dey find person wey go grease him Palms no gree answer me when I asked him for solution to this whole ordeal baba just say make I reshuffle con go pay 258 or so for excess luggage. I laughed

Anyways my dad had to buy another grey bag 3k when he saw that they were about to lock the gate. I reshuffled, dumped something I didn't need. Ok finally we got to an agreeable weight and the guy as per say I be student tell me say make I hehe commit my Garri because that's what making my bag weigh much. I did so and then after that one I proceeded to the first cubicle where I was asked for my passport and enrollment letter ( naija airport ooh). I gave to the man, he looked and looked at me I was like whahahlur. Finally he pushed me to the next cubicle where I was asked for my passport only before proceeding to check in.

I jammed another whahahlur here oh because these guys weighed my bags and opened their mouth waaaaah saying its too much blah blah blah that he can only push the First grey bag that the second one needs to be reduced. So me wanting to use wuru wuru sense went to remove my white Garri from my bag and put in my hand luggage ( don't mind me I forgot) . Sha after getting my three boarding pass, I moved to immigration where I was asked to place my belongings and all that Sha and remove my shoes ( na for here them confiscate my ijebu Garri, e pain me small, the woman officer con dey give me attitude untop the Garri sef rubbish. )

Got my carryon, my laptop bag and my handbags and now had to run Omo my shoulder almost dislocate

During my journey, this is what I noticed ---
Start and End with prayers, because only God can give you the strength for this process.

Do your own research, watch a lot of videos on youtube and read different forums.

We can all do this application ourselves, but please use an agent if you're not well-versed in the process. To avoid mistakes.

Don't pick an agent that doesn't have your time. Ask questions, and Pick his/her brain. From your little research of the process, you will be able to find out if the agent knows his onions.

Write your SOP yourself Please. Only you can tell your story. If you're using an agent tell him your story truthfully so that he can advise you. If you're not using an agent find someone on this platform to talk to and polish your SOP and Story. Agents don't usually write SOPs sef.

Form A access has been hard recently but please don't give out money to just anyone to help you fast-track the process. Always use a banker you can hold. Don't pay anyone money you meet online. The heart of Man is wicked.

My agent was wonderful, stayed and prayed with me throughout the process.

Now start to Exercise Patience! Build your shield.

PRAYYYYY!!!!

My experience was crazy ...... 27 weeks no be beans. I was sending web forms every day and the replies were generic. I sent mails to MP, PRIME MINISTER, MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION, and EVERYBODY FOR OVER 13 WEEKS BEFORE I RECEIVED PPR TODAY.

I left Nairaland for some time for my mental health but today I'm back with Joy. Thanks to everyone here, I made friends & family here.

Please anyone can reach out to me anytime for any form of guidance.

Peace
