Boss is it any 2.1. Cos i have tried 2 now and didn’t go well. Any agent i tell i had a 3.59 would suggest a college(grad certificate). Please do i just try the college instead. Tried mun and brunswick and it didn’t pull through. Please yours or anyone’s advise in this platform is urgently needed. Thank you

Since your admission to a Course-based Masters program in a university ain't working out, you can apply for a specialized PG. Cert Computer Science related program

See the link below for

Computer Science Related PG cert programs
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/418#103972127

Make sure the Branch of Computer Science that has a PG. Cert program applicable to you based on your background or Job experience is what you should go for.

Just make sure you state in your SOP with cogent reasons why you chose to go for a PG. Cert program instead of a Masters degree (thesis-based or Course-based)

As regards writing SOP, go through all contents in the link below
https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/523#100849022

Note: Because you didn't get admission to the two Universities mentioned is not a cogent reason why you decided to go for a PG. Cert program in Canada

Good luck!!!

LANDING GIST

My PPR came Apr 22. I did my first semester online and rounded up end of June. My next semester is Fall, September 1st. I travelled on July 19th via Ethiopian Airlines. I thank God for journey mercies.

At the Nigerian airport, I went with 2bags weighing a little over 23kg, my carryon bag and bag pack. I practically settled every airport personnel that I came in contact with N200 each, lol (I made sure I had plenty change). My sister accompanied me to the airport and I had to settle the police guy at the door N500 to allow my sister in (thank God she followed me in cuz she had to help me go and be making photocopies). Please ensure you go to the airport with photocopies of ur passport data page, 2 copies of your covid test result and a copy of your vaccination card (front and back).

I was asked to declare my bag( a ghana-must-go) bag for food (to reduce weight as most luggage already weigh so much even without having anything in it). I paid N2,000 for that.

Moving on to another counter, I was asked to provide my admission letter, enrollment letter, ArriveCAN, proof of school fees payment, my covid test results and vaccination card with their copies. The lady took a picture of everything and asked me to wait until they get approval that I can fly. Shortly after, approval was given and I was cleared to leave. I settled the immigration officers as well and the rest was history. I boarded my flight at 1 and we took off by 2pm. The food was good but small, I took curry meat sauce as the lady that sat beside me said the chicken sauce wasn't too good.

I arrived Toronto and we went through immigration were I was asked for the purpose of why I was here, my admission letter, enrollment letter, ARRIVECAN, vaccination card, school payment receipt, transcript and all what they asked for in Nigeria. I was asked when my study will be concluded and after all questions were answered, the immigration officer said that she will include an extra 3 months to my study permit to allow me apply for my PGWP, my work Authorization was also included in the study permit. It was a smooth and favourable journey to the glory of God Almighty.

Congrats to all those who just got PPR and I wish all PPR hopefuls the very best. May Canada favour us all. AMEN!!!

I forgot to add that I received an arrival covid test kit to use and test myself when I get to my final destination which was Alberta. When I got to my final destination, I registered online for the test and was directed to a video call where an online doctor observed me as I did the covid test on myself. Thereafter, I put the sample in the bag that was provided and left it in front of my house. They came to pick it up. Result came out negative after 2 days.

Also note that I did my covid test at afriglobal 24hours before my trip as the result takes about 24hours to come out and it cost N50,400 plus interswitch charges that brought it close to almost N52k in total. . Here is the link to book appointment and pay online for your covid test
http://Bookings.afriglobalmedicare.com

Remember to print 2 copies of your covid test result before travelling.

Hope this helps.

Canada is so slow and not so organized in terms of Visa. I'd prefer the USA if it was fully funded too.

I requested GCMS notes it came last week May 15, fully funded masters and it came out blank
