Both universities are good. However, you should consider the tuition fee, not just the graduate assistantship only; the tuition fee will enable you to determine the financial involvement that will be sufficient for you and your family. More importantly, please look at career progression which of the programs align with your career.

Winnyluv:
Please, I would appreciate your honest opinion. I’ve received two MSc offers: one from Carleton University (Migration Studies, which includes a graduate assistantship offer and $4,000 in funding) and another from the University of Manitoba (Peace and Conflict Studies, 6,500. No Graduate assistant offer). Based on factors like location, cost of living, and overall experience, which university would you recommend I choose? I plan to move with my husband and children.

Download the latest version of the form from your portal, fill out and validate.

21,000 in imm form.
It's your responsibility to point out to the VO in your sop/loe that you have an unconditional scholarship of 5000

Ofcourse. 1 year gets your 1 year pgwp
2 years gets you 3years pgwp. I am assuming the courses are pgwp eligible.
With the current immigration policies in canada, getting a PR with a 1 year pgwp has even become very very difficult and almost impossible now.

If you want to do it yourself, I advise you invest your time and be patient enough to visit previous threads and start from page 1 where you get the basic required docs. Then if you diligently go through the pages of the thread especially previous threads when this place was really active, you will see useful responses to possible questions you might want to ask along the way.

Sorry to disturb, so will I add the 5000cad scholarship plus the money i have left in my bank statement plus the tuition fee I have paid under money available for my stay section in imm form

For master’s degree programs as of February 15, 2024
You can apply for a 3-year PGWP, even if your master’s program was less than 2 years, as long as

your program was at least 8 months (or 900 hours for Quebec programs) and
you meet all other eligibility requirements
This doesn’t apply to certificate or diploma programs.

ChiXi:
What about a 1 year masters program? For example 1 year MBA program

Not totally sure but I think you still get 3 years pgwp.

Is there a Whatsapp group or Telegram channel specifically for Study visa application process? I would like to join.

Hello go to Telegram, search for "9ja Canada Study Group", join it.
Another one is : "OJC-Study Abroad Group"

Do not fall for scammers, do not pay anyone for anything.

It should be addressed to the VO at embassy of the country of destination.

Itiswell2334:
Please guys for zenith bank reference letter, should it address the visa officer or there no need for it to address anyone

Good morning house, I got my GCMS note yesterday and my major issue was about my employment and economic ties and I need your help to address it.

1. I submitted my business registration document and office lease but I didn't submit my personal bank statement (only that of my Dad- sponsor) because money are volatile in my account and they don't really amount to a lot as it is just starting out and still a small business. How do I navigate this please

2. About asset, I have none. But can my Dad do a gift Deed for me for one his property. But the issue is I also included this property as my Dad's financial asset in my initial application. So if it's my property now, it means it doesn't belong to my Dad any longer- hope it doesn't have an effect

3. If there's any other thing you think I can also add, I will be very grateful.

Thank you

Please in whose account was the POF? Was it in your Dad's account? If it was, then there was no need to attach your Business documents, because they were of no use since your sponsor is your dad, rather you need to show the source of funds of the sponsor and have him move the funds to your account. Then you explain how you are related to him with docs and also show prior financial assistance from the sponsor to you to show history.

The POF was in my sponsor's account and I explained his sourcec of funds. I only attached my business document to prove home ties that I am coming back to the business after studies

The way you structured your SOP did not do justice, the VO did not put any weight on the sponsorship from your dad, you need look at how you explained your POF structure for it to be clearly understandable. Also show your own finances, if your dad can send you the funds let him send it to you so it can be in your account.

Its a ghost update, it means the application has been worked on behind, but the changes are not what you will see on your portal

The honest truth is from my personal observation on various GCMs notes I have seen recently, no matter who your sponsor is, the applicant's economic/employment establishment in his/her country is greatly influential in these applications especially those applicant's that have finished school atleast 5 years ago. Newly school leavers in their late 20s can be excused. Don't know your age or when you finished school. But these stuffs are factors that also now affect applications.
Apart from making sure you show relationship between your dad and you, show his source of income and all supporting docs, if possible demonstrate further by making further Expenses from his acct, you will need to convince the VO that you are economically established in your country if you have finished school significant years ago.

I saw an application rejected for this same reason. GCMS notes stated the person wasn't economically established because his salary was about 300dollars(VO converted the naira months salary of the person). This is despite the person fully paying tuition and doing 20k GIC for a 1 year program that his brother fully sponsored him for.
I understood the VO logic cos the person was presumed to have finished school years back and been working for over 6 to 7years. VO is probably asking himself, will this person return to naija after study in Canada? Am sure you understand my point.
