Okay, I will advise you to go there with the CIC medical request, your upfront medical payment receipt, medical slip and additional cash. I can vividly remember during my medical at children practice Ikoyi, where the receptionist stated that those who came for upfront medical might be requested again for medical; its a 50/50 thing though, and if this occurs, applicant would be advised to pay half of the full payment.

This is crazy though, mine is 14weeks now though I got medical request after 8 weeks of application. I believe they are having ish with the online applications. I will advise you send a case specific email to them or better still order for your gcmsnote for more info of what they are currently doing with your application, though this will take 30days to get feedback on your application for GSCMSnote. Just get yourself busy in order to avoid any fear. E go beta

I'm damn fed up of this Canadian study permit, its now 16weeks now that I applied, there hasn't been any update on my timeline apart from biometric completed.
I applied online on 15th February and did my biometric the next day(16th February). I'm fed up, fed up. I should've opted for European study permit instead of this wasting time Canadian visa�

If you have a valid visitor visa, or a study or work permit, and you gave your biometrics in the past, your biometrics are valid from the date you gave your biometrics for a period of 10 years. You do not need to give your biometrics until the 10-year period expires.

Just go to the medical centre you previously did your medical with the receipt of payments and medical form. I believe they will resend your medical results again. You have to pay again but not up to what you paid initially, Children practice at Ikoyi will collect half of what you paid previously. All the best

Please if my sponsor transfers money from one of his accounts to the one that has good inflow and outflow, would that be considered as a lump sum. Mind you the sum he’s transferring is 6 million.

Wow....This is an awesome profile that I hope gets admission into Msc. Agricultural Economics Fall 2019, though very competitive due to limited numbers of University that offers such course.

It's not tough as it seems to be. I studied agricultural extension and rural development and I got admitted to University of Manitoba for Msc. Agribusiness and agricultural economics, Fall 2018.

Most universities in Canada that offers graduate admission in related course doesn't need you to secure a supervisor before admission but you can contact as many faculty members as possible stating your intentions but note this won't influence your admission. All new grad students are expected to at least have finished first semester and observed which lecturer and area fits their interest and strengths.

Admission decision are always evaluated based on the statement of purpose, letters of recommendation and transcripts and offers to students based on (1) their available project funding, (2) student's background and skills, and (3) interest alignment.

Aside your academic grade, you have to write a very strong and convincing statement of intent(Biographical sketch) highlighting your motivations, research interest, your goals after completion of Msc. program, why the uni, and your academic achievements. Just short and precise (One to two pages is enough, it all depends on your use of words).

Lastly, ensure you involve God in your applications.


Below are the list of Canadian universities that offers masters in Agricultural economics or related field.

1. McGill University (M.Sc.Agricultural Economics)
2. University of Alberta (Master of Agriculture Degree in Agricultural Economics/Rural Sociology and MSc Agricultural and Resource Economics)
3. Dalhousie university (Master of Agriculture; Business and Social sciences)
4. University of British Columbia (Master of Food and Resource Economics & MSc. Food and Resource Economics)
5. University of Saskatchewan (Msc. Agricultural and Resource Economics)
6. University of Manitoba MSc. Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics)
7. University of Lethbridge (Master of Agriculture)
8. University of Guelph (Master of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics -coursework or MSc. Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics - Thesis)
9. University of Winnipeg (Master of Arts in Environmental, Resource and Development Economics)
10. Brandon university (MSc. Rural Development)

Most of the schools offers admission only Fall but Manitoba and Dalhousie do offer admission in winter.

I hope these helps

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Phocusjosh(m): 1:29pm On Jun 01, 2018
Sorry bro. Financially you are covered but you are yet to convince the VO that you will leave Canada at the end of your program with proofs. This can be done by writing a dynamite SOP (@TheSoj), link your undergraduate studies, employment, and your long term-goals with your intended course of study at University of Windsor.
Please, order for your GCMS to know the actual reason you were rejected. It will end in praise.
