Your best Canadian option, if you have a great UK GPA, is PhD. That will take you about 1 year or more to complete the admission and visa process. Another masters or PGD might work, but you will have a lot of explaining and planning to do. If you are seeking a quick and easy route to study abroad, I believe UK is still your best option for now. Canada requires a lot of patience and planning. I am not sure you will be able or ready to do that since you're already eyeing and under pressure with UK.

Been awhile guys
Shoutout to @lekiboboe. I don’t know how you keep up with Nairaland while studying. You are a rare gem. Congratulations to those that have been granted ppr and all the best to those awaiting ppr.

To those of you that have been granted ppr and already studying online for winter semester, please complete your winter semester in Nigeria.

Adapting to a new environment is already challenging but doing so during winter makes it more difficult. I must say I am coping much better with the cold than I expected, but that’s because I was prepared and already familiar with the system to an extent.

You’re likely to get lost or miss your bus at some point. Believe me you don’t want that to happen to you in the cold.

The winter is brutal but it’s not all that bad when you are in indoor. You won’t even feel it with a good heater in your residence. My point is that arriving during winter is not a good idea.

Best wishes to everyone.

Lekiboboe:
Hello Big Chief i sight you, trust you are doing great and coping with the Sweet winter . Thanks for the compliments, we miss your great & Fantabolous posts, I go tell Trudeau to freaky your Account

Hahahaha, it ain't easy, actually I was offline for straight two months - Early November to Late December 2021. Me just dey pass by, hibernation mode loading (study + work etc).

About the Winter, you have said it all. The Winter in the likes Of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Sudbury (Northern Ontario) nobi anybody mate. As far as you got the right clothing, even at 40 degrees, you gonna be fine, no fashion for Winter .

Fall session Still remains the best Intake to resume

Enitsua3M:
Thanks a lot for this, I do understand what you mean. I personally see Computer Science as too broad a course, having a BSc to me is good enough so right now I’m just deciding to focus on Data Analytics or data related studies.

themankelechi:
Honestly the process of Canadian study permit is not for the faint hearted as you have to adopt "Patience" as middle name during the process and waiting period.
But i believe it's worth it at the end

Anon123:
DONOT NOTALIZED THAT BANK STATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is more or less like it was edited upon!

Please do not send that notarize statement otherwise, it is a 5yrs BAN without appeal.

GET A NEW STAMPED BANK STATEMENT OF THE SAME PERIOD, ALONG WITH A REFERENCE LETTER OR GET YOUR MBS.

But why were you sent a PFL if your statement is okay

Gift212:
Who knows? Like legacyedition said maybe they tried to contact the bank about the account and didn't get a response.
Or maybe they contacted UBA Nigeria and they couldn't verify as it's from UBA Gambia (or is it the other way round).
It'd be nice to know the reason in GCMS note (after the matter has been sorted).

mk4fna:
The problem is the account is in UBA guinea and they don't have MBS. so shouldn't notarize. i should just get a new bank statement like the old one and submit it again

SOWP and study visa applications approved same day!!!

My husband's  SOWP and my 11year old son study permit got approved after the 3rd attempt.
First attempt 2016 we all applied as a family and were all bounced on purpose of visit and home ties. After I got my study permit approved in June 2021 we reapplied  on
11 July 2021 - visitors visa for hubby and study permit for kids
Refused 29th September

Reapplied October 29 before the GCMS notes came because it was delayed.
Medical for my husband November 15 ( my son had done his medicals earlier)
Medical passed November 22
GCMS notes finally came in late November- December 2021 (applied for hubby and the kids and they all came at different dates, one even came in the middle of December) GCMS notes showed the VO was concerned about the cost implications of running 2 homes and home ties.
Luckily all those concerns had been adequately tackled in the SOP during reapplication.
In the course of waiting a friend who had also applied for study permit for her kids decided to try out the new IRCC portal and got her kids visitor visa approved in 7days so we decided to give it a try too. Visitor visa application was done on the 19th of December 2021...then another round of waiting commenced.

3k cad per child...and not 5k cad....
As us has free visa to canada,they can't stay in US beyond 180 days on free visit visa to Canada unless extended otherwise they will be illegal immigrants...they can't study on visit visa..
They must be included on the family information form when making your application..if they can't travel with you at this time ..and all necessary information filled date of birth ,birth certificates attached etc ..for future records..if you don't include this information, you will have hard time bringing them to Canada to join you later..excluding kid after the application..

I am talking about your job prospect after study. Computer science is broad but it is more lucrative and competitive than Data science. Check Data science jobs and you will see that Computer science degree will be accepted, not the other way round. Data science like oil and gas engineering is a trending term that schools are jumping on to milk the field while it last.

Most schools don't even understand what it is about and they just teach you excel and stuff. I have friends that graduated in Data science programs in US and Canada and they all tell me they wish they did another program because of that. I also have friends that completed computer science program and I haven't seen anyone of them complain.

It is better to get a degree like computer science that had stand the test of time. You are also likely to get a full scholarship for msc computer science, while most masters in data science won't offer you any. The choice is yours sha at the end of the day.

It's like this new IRCC website is faster than usual o. A friend of mine applied late December and she already got her study permit as at yesterday.
I guess I'll have to reapply through this new website

@frankrobben

Kindly get across to me.

I need your input, i just got served a refusal letter.

I am new here, i do not know how nairaland works.

i was refused on this grounds.

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

Please and please

Residentourist:
This information is not correct. I travelled with two of my kids who are US citizens and whose application had coincidentally just been refused at the time. They were given a visitors record at the POE after the officer asked me if they would be staying throughout my study duration. The visitor record allows them study in Canada and is valid for the same duration as my study permit.





I don’t understand
Are U saying US citizens where refused visa?
