The best will surely come !! God bless you all. We all are going to the maple land. What God cannot do, does not exist.

Congrats to all successful applicants. Frank and mastersammy and all gurus in the house , pls I need help. I finally graduated from Noun Dec 2020 with 2.1 from Computer Science Education ( I was supposed to graduate 2017 but was delayed due to missing results). Apart from Noun Cert, I have New Horizon Cert of Attendance (CCNA routing and switching) 2016, freeCodeCamp Cert( Responsive Web Cert) 2021, Udemy (Advance Css and Sass) almost completed, Udemy (JavaScript) almost completed too. I am looking towards applying to Canada Schools with full funding for Msc Computer Science (please help with that, I am overwhelmed with too much info and can't pick right) . I own a business but it's registered with my husband's details (Business Name Dated: 2017) because it's inline with his work( Interior Designs (p.o.p installation, painting and co)) while I deal with p.o.p materials.
I will be applying with my husband and our 4 yrs old. I await your contributions and suggestions,thanks

mastersammy:


First of, I'm not wrong and secondly, did you just say it will prolong the app, you have no idea how serious this thing is bcus if you do , you won't say it will prolong the app.
If the applicant keeps sending them mail, it will cut the applicant chances of getting the visa short and definitely it will lead to visa denial bcus his showing signs of desperation.

Ibk2020:
Please someone should advise...
I will be applying for Canada student visa early next year for a 1 year PGC course.
If all documents are complete and intact, will I be issued visa?
A friend told me there is low visa rate for 1 year course in Canada

Faithyyyyy:


Your best option is to go for another masters degree depending on the field you want to focus on. A pgd isn't advisable at all. People older than you have gotten visas so it'd not an issue

makano:
Hello nairaland1981

Having a Master degree and going for a Post graduate study is a BIG RED FLAG, cos it does not show career progression.. but like we all know nothing is impossible when it comes to the operation of IRCC, if you give the VO a genuine reason for a PGD(Practical experience) at this stage of your life, then you can get your Visa..

As regards your Intention for a PGD, What some applicants in your shoe did was to hide the fact they did Masters, i.e hiding their Masters degree from the picture and mention only their 1st degree,and they got their Visa.. The only thing about this is that you will hide your Masters degree from Canada forever i,e Even after you get your Study permit you wont still make mention of your MASTERs prolly when applying for Permanent residence or even Citizenship.

Since you have hidden it from the start, it has to remain like that to avoid misinterpretation in the future, you will just make mention of your Bsc and the Post graduate degree you will get in Canada..

Since you said you have 16 years working experience, you will need to explain in details all what you have been doing from the time you got your 1st degree till this moment i.e your study Gap.. Promotion letters, trainings, Certifications(as an IT person) pay slips and other vital Company documents will play a big role as regards this..

Also if you are not comfortable hiding your Masters, you can go for a second Masters (you will also give the Visa Officer a genuine reason for this) or better still go for a PHD.

Your age isn't a problem, as we have seen of several 40 gang applicants getting their Visas with Pgd, all you need to do is to write a convincing SOP and prolly LOE and also package your application well accompanied with the favour of God..

Then your Visa is sure

Good luck

Peace

Lianna2020:
How about someone that sent 4 webform daily and got approved with family?

mastersammy:


Every application or individual is not the same, for the fact this person did this and it worked for the person does not mean if another person try it, it will work for the person too.
Every app is unique, different and it's handled by different VOs at the embassy in different countries.
What this VO will tolerate, will not be what this VO will tolerate, so what favours this person may be what will bring another person down

nairaland1981:


thank you. i will pursue another masters degree.

Godsfave:


I’m may 14th and my eligibility started today, I haven’t received as well but i know we will both testify here tomorrow in Jesus name, Amen

mastersammy:


Yes that's true that there is low visa approval for applicant in naija going for 1yr program, although the fact is not proven and no evidence to back it up but I've not seen anyone who have gotten approval using 1yr program, just saying from my own view.

Incase if you don't know, 1yr program has it's disadvantages and one of them is, if an applicant manage to get a visa with 1yr program, at the end of the one yr program, the applicant will be given 1yr Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) but if it's 2yrs program it will beget 3yrs PGWP.
Another disadvantage associated with 1yr program is, the one year doesn't usually reach one year, if your giving 1yr program and your giving a visa, the duration of the visa will be 8months if I'm not mistaken or maybe 9months but it doesn't reach 1yr.
So the choice is yours,if you choose to go for the 1yr then so be it

I doubt it can as it's not a transmittable disease.

Timmypaul:
Hello everyone pls how many days does it take Ircc to ask for passport after medical request have been done and passed. Honest answer will be appreciated.

Johnmark247:
Malaria is transmissible bro. An infected anopheles during the bite, some portion of the already infected blood in its mid gut drips down through the proboscis into the uninfected person, hence, the uninfected blood gets attacked.

I SAID IT ON PAGE 19 but some said Malaria doesn't affect medicals. Though the load in the blood is what counts.

SOLUTION
Please go get some Azithromycin a.k.a Zitromax/ CiproTab a.k.a Ciprofloxacin for typhoid, Artesunate for Malaria, ask the pharmacist to add some paracetamol and blood caps. After 5days you're SET. Though abroad you must have a doctors prescription but in Naija its easy.
