So happy for you brother….. Congrats once again

I first want to thank Almighty Allah, for the journey.

First application, with an agent
Submitted - March 16th 2021
I lost my dad - may 23rd
Refusal - June 28th
A day after my birthday, my refusal reason was just purpose of visit. The agent applied for a 2nd BSc for me and I was kind of like a novice but I just knew it wasn't right. And I reconfirmed after I joined nairaland fully during my application process.

After the refusal, I was weak, angry, pained and I decided to do it on my own this time, I had learned enough from nairaland and was more motivated than ever. I got my files from my agent and I found out he made a lot of mistakes and I knew correcting them would put me in a lot of future troubles. Then spectro messaged me from here after my refusal and was just interested in helping me, the guy is truly God sent, he repackaged my application, my LOE was practically almost written by him. I will write and send it to him and he will cancel it and make adjustments, told me to correct all the mistakes the agent made and assured me I was doing the right thing.

Let me just put he's a genius. He did everything for me for free, I had to ask him what I did to deserve his help

I also appreciate everyone from nairaland too, Belle10, freshestc, teemenzo and everyone who answered me.

Goodluck to those waiting, it shall end in praise and you shall soon receive your good news. Elizabeth and nitandi I'm rooting for both of you too.

Please I am in this shoe right now,how can I go about it? I read here that a B.sc holder doing a job outside his academic decree will opt for Pgd in Canadian school not Diploma or Advance diploma in order to maintain academic progression.
I mailed Nscc to inquire if they offer pgd program in Marine Navigation Management Technology,but their response was that they offer it in a one year Advance diploma, while diploma certificate in Marine Navigation Technology is two years plus one year co-op, the school also told me that hence my Bsc is not related to Nautical science that I do not meet their admission requirement for one year advance diploma that I am qualify for only their diploma program.
The mail also stated that none Canadian citizen or PR holder does not allow to board Canadian flagship,that international students without the above status can only be issued academic completion certificate but would not be issued Certificate of Competency (Coc).
Please I need advice from all the professionals aboard this platform on how to navigate around this situation hence I'm trying to maintain a good academic progression before the IRCC.
Thank you in advance!

Lekiboboe:
Hi

I don't know if Canada admit HND holders with a PGD for their Masters program, you might need to do reach out to the school on that or await a response from the house.

Your friend should do his research on the Relationship/Corelation between Public Administration and Social Work, Peace and Conflict etc. If there is a connection and if he can tailor his ACADEMIC background and Work Experience to the mentioned field, then he is good to go.

Note that work experience is not an admission requirement, it's just to solidify the profile of someone whose work experience is related to his/her field of study (Academic background)

Just like this scenario

A BSC holder of Microbiology with Accounting work experience would very likely not be considered for a Masters in Accountancy because he/she doesn't have Academic background in Accounting or related field.

Congratulations.

Nikky6:
So sorry about this , if you were refused for only purpose of visit , no need for notes because it’s obvious already- it means your course doesn’t correlate with what you have been doing or what you studied in school .
It’s straight forward, just change your program to something related and write a good Sop .
Linking them together, they are not really similar for business administration deals financial planning while accounting is mainly book keeping.
That’s my 2 cents , but you can wait for the gurus to talk .

Thank you Nikky6 for your candid response. My accounting course I did both at hnd and bsc level isn't just only about book keeping. The certification I got in both are actually accounting & finance). And more so, the postgraduate diploma is a pathway to mba which I could perhaps explore on the future. @ Lekkiboboe, pls can I have insight on this too

anayolity:
Hello good people.

Hope you guys are doing great.

Please and please can I have a HND in mass communication (lower credit) and will like to go to Canada via study route...I have 5years of experience in Supply chain

I understand unlike UK, Canada do not HND for direct MSc program.

Can anyone please recommend a very very affordable university where I can study a PGD program in Canada.

Thank yooooooou

conestoga

hello
please can we dm each other?

DebrahOj:
I am

Congratulations my fellow Unilorite.

It shall end In praise for those still waiting.

If you have enough funds to cover for the expenses of you and your family through the duration of your stay in Canada and can also demonstrate that you have solid ties that can bring you back home after completion of your program, I believe you have a chance at securing visas for the whole family.

However, you have a higher chance if you apply alone. Upon your arrival in Canada your family can apply to join you.

olutoyiin:
My people My people still on this canny waka.
My admission letter just came in for PhD university of british columbia with 21k funding and tuition waiver for 4 years.
I'm thinking of submitting my visa application by May ending and I intend to apply with for visting visa for my spouse and 2 year old and study visa for myself and 6 year old. I know its a long shot but I want to try first. My uncle and husband would be my co sponsors.

Please I'm begging for assistance as I do not know where to start especially regarding my SOP and the whole process @frankrobbin1, @OtunbaTee @Lekkiboboe @Olasubomy @Justmellow and other gurus.

Pls come to my aid even if its paid consultation

Goodmorning everyone in the house, please my sponsor ,who stays in the US want me to pay my school fees here in nigeria using her credit card, since to get fx is very difficult to access recently here in nigeria. Now my question is please how am I going to go about it?also I hope is going to get to my school fast enough (Fleming college Ontario).

I'd advise that you contact your school for guidance and also seek the help of a trustworthy person if you're unsure how to make payment using your sponsor’s credit card. The reason is that you're dealing with a sensitive issue, and a slight mistake can put your sponsor in debt.

Apologies if this has been answered before:

Concerning money raised through crypto sales, please see question # 3
1. Using Oanda, if i have the full tuition fee seating in my account and the upkeep (10k or 12k CAD i hope) equivalent also in my account, will an extra 10k CAD (2-3m naira equivalent) suffice to make up what i have in my account o apply??

2. Is there a minimum for the money to have sat in my account (eg 30days, 3 months, 6 months) before i apply??. School is sept, no luxury of 6months obviously.

3. i have had money in my account for just 1-2 months. the money was raised from my crypto account which i have held for more than 6 months. Can i submit the bank statement that shows the bulk money enter a month ago and show another statement showing where it came from - crypto sales/

Thank you guys

regards

maxio22:
Thank you for your kindly reply. Please can I contact you privately.odohmalachy101@gmail.xom

It isn't late especially if you desire to start your program online. Again, that's if your school permits. However, be prepared for a potential delayed decision from the IRCC.

Those cases are uncommon. Pray that God favors your whenever your decision comes.

Hi

Getting a Fully-funded PHD has its process which can be tasky and needs your attention, time, lots of writing, editing etc.

You have a very long Study gap (did your MSC 2009) and some professors , admission committees might/can assume your knowledge in Chemistry is not with the latest trend of research but you might have an edge cos your work experience is related to your field of study.

To refresh you Academically, try to do some online courses (free or paid) related to your research focus and update it on your Academic CV.

Note: if you are looking for a Fully-funded PHD Graduate Offer, you don't submit anyhow CV, you submit an ACADEMIC CV (Very important)

So after doing all of that, google Professors of Chemistry whose Research focus is on "Advance Coating Materials" or related research focus in Canadian Universities and cold mail them against FALL 2023.

Cold mail as much as you can non-generically, cos you will receive different responses from those profs. Note that you must read at least one or two publication of a Prof. BEFORE cold mailing him/her so that you can intersect it with your research focus,
Cos you can't send same cold mail to more than one professor due to the fact that even though those Profs might have same research focus , they will definitely have different publication.

Read the post in the link below, you will find every contents , links etc. there useful. Model the contents to your own field and research focus and prepare yourself.

Detailed Guide for Masters Degree holders who want to do a PH.D in Canada (fully-funded) also find attached Dr. Olumuyiwaayo's magic/jazz Academic CV & Cold Mail

https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/321#103487629

Very Importantly visit Dr. Olumuyiwaayo's Igbalajobi's Twitter page, go through his RICH PINNED POSTS, all you need to Strategically hunt for Grad. OPPORTUNITIES in Research areas in your Field of study is there, you gonna be glad you did.

Await additional other members of this platform

Good luck!!!![/quote]

You will need to apply through OCAS. All the information you need is on the school website.
