Bro take it easy on these guys they might be new and all what they might need is just a guide. Don't let them feel discouraged asking about what they don't know. My own take tho and no offense.

thesoj:
This question has been answered over and over in previous pages of this thread, even in this short Part 9! Also, the answer is in Form IMM5832E which I believe you will be submitting with your app (assuming paper route). Read read read! Don't be lazy, no offense. The ability to find information will be critical to your success in Canada.

If after reading IMM5832E, you still don't understand, then come back here to ask a more informed question.

Supermum:

I'm studying for a PhD. You can ask your questions.

Hi Supermum, I will like to know when the school says PhD comprehensive exam what do they actually mean?
Thanks

Yes it could be frustrating at times, I can understand how @thesoj is feeling. With time and energy invest into the Forum. We cld direct them to the necessary page that cld help.

I also think we shldn't be not be Luzy and try read thru. It took me days to be on same page wt you guys. I felt the need to comb tru PART6, 7, and 8, and it was really awesome.

Many thanks to all the Gurus in the house. Particularly @Montrealer and @Thesoj.
Keep doing the good work.

Well said.

thesoj:
Many of the recent questions on this thread have been repeatedly answered over the last month, including your question about where to find a notary in Lagos. This trend is not good, as it devalues the thread if the same information is repeated every fifteen pages.

In any case, the answer to your question is easy to find. Either use Google to search through this thread, or look through posts from the past month in Part 9.

Do a google search of [notarize document lagos "travelling to canada part 9" site:www.nairaland.com] without the square brackets and the answer is in the first few search results.

No offense intended, it just hurts to see that all the information repeatedly and recently provided on here is not being put to good use. It is discouraging. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything... just stating the facts. Pls don't be offended.

Ok, I understand. Though, I already said I was going to make my research on it.

However, thanks for the insight.

***Appreciate***

Avalon316:


My biggest fear is that my sponsor's statement of account is 8 days old. I heard that it is better used as soon as it is made available. Should I be worried? And I just started processing the school fees payment . By the time the bank will be be done with their form A wahala,the statement of account would be 14 days old or so.

Guys,help me o.

thesoj

Funny you.... you have no reason to be worried. Your statement should be printed not earlier than the month preceding the month u'll submit your application

TALK2FABO:
Don't get angry lots of these guys are new they just started following you can guide them through. No offense here also.

He is not angry...just saying the truth.


No offense here also.

U can send it to me ( skymorbabs@gmail.com) for a trial, as only God is perfect.

Seems y'all arent too friendly here. I posted something but got no reply . Its cool.
anyways I'm applying to canada and been going through the threads starting from part 6 down to 9. I am applying to schools in ca & US.
I'm applying to McGill & Uottawa, and I emailed the program coordinators directly and got the necessary info from them because I noticed some stuff said here is different from reality as regards to grades and all.

@ kessluvall you talked about applying for law with a 2:2 You can apply to Uottawa, I emailed a program coordinator and she sent me a link which confirms they accept 2:2. and you are in greater luck if your last 2 years in Uni, you scored high as they also check that.

http://www.grad.uottawa.ca/Default.aspx?tabid=3798&moncontrol=DisplayEqui&country=Nigeria#display

And also McGill depending on the dept, they consider applications slightly below 3.0 if the applicant has strong application(letter of ref9especially), SOP etc)

because the lie being sold to most applicants who scored 2;2 is to write PGD and then use it as a route to masters. that is a BIG LIE. Yes most canadian schools do not take 2:2 but it takes perseverance and a well detailed research to search for a school, look for the program coordinators and send them a detail mail. they will surely get a reply.
i know 2 folks who finished with a 2:2, they went to canada to do PGD and then after they applied for msc. all of them rejected them. they more or less wasted 3m on Pgd that is not even worth more than a professional course certificate.

so in summary, if you have a low grade (3.49-2.90/5.0 CGPA) and you want to apply to canada. have 2 things in mind- check the school requirements and go extra by emailing the program coordinators, and also depends on the course, if u are applying for a course like comp sci or pharmacology or nursing with a 2:2 u don jabbo. but if its a course like social work, art etc that doesnt draw so much applications, then give it a go and present a strong application.

P;s: if you are in McGill we can relate or applying for occupational heallth pls klets chat

@Mekurexx
We dey friendly nao.
Maybe no one knew the answer to your question that's why it wasn't answered. Also, a lot of the recent gurus on this thread have gone silent because many got their visas and just started school... the ones who didn't get their visas are quietly restrategizing and refiring.

Also, thanks for the info you provided about 2:2 admission to MSc. I really like your spirit... it's great to see that you emailed program coordinators to get to the bottom of the issue... very proactive... I like!

PS: I believe @montrealer is at McGill

Thanks for the response.

Oga calm down jare. You just pointed out the song I was singing some pages back that people should please mail the graduate advisors of their intended departments to hear from the horse's mouth and not listen to someone online dictate their fate.

@thesoj, @ayooluwatoni, @omooba have been of great help here. It's always easy to just come here and be of great help at a point in time. But if one wants to be consistent, especially when it's not like you are trying to get something in return, the person should be commended. Nobody has been unfriendly in my opinion, people should also learn to research for information. A little research doesn't hurt.

Nice one guys, but u guys should also note something, All these school usually collect $100 as application fee, so they will never want to stop you from applying, just be sure of your research and let's pray to God to help us all. I spoke from a friend experience.

Mean not to disrespect anybody or any info, but just want us to filter enough to gain the admission.

I will like to ask some questions here
1. is your nephew a british citizen?
2. was he schooling in London when he applied?
kindly reply. thanks

you stated your point but i disagree. you made it seem like it was some betting procedure but I get your point. I think its more of research and favour too

thanks for the tip. regardless class of degree what kills most people's apps is lack of knowledge or poor research. its better to look beyond what is shown on the website and dig deep. I believe having some form of ''rapport'' during applying kinda shows one persistence which i think is positive.just like when one is tryna get a research supervisor for a research assistanship, one has to be persistent. thanks for the kind words too

Supermum:

I'm studying for a PhD. You can ask your questions.

Hello supermum, am new to thia forum, I have been a silent observer, I have read all the rrends and info about traveling to Canada.
I recently got a mail from CIC to come for my medicals and I have done that, which I passed...they sent me a mail after 2 days to tell me I passed . Please I would like to know how long it takes for them to request for passport after the medicals have been passed. Thanks in advance for your time

I think you just highlighted some of things that some other NLers have tried to point out in the past.

Getting an admission doesn't depend only on your grades, it's the whole package: your grades, your experience, your knowledge of the field of study, your ability to research & to develop a favorable rapport with the academic advisor.

I'm glad you got the information you needed. As for those who promote PGD, don't blame them. They speak from their experience. Some applied to several Masters programs and were denied thus their reason for counseling others not to try. As for your friends who were denied masters admission following PGD, I'm sure there are other variables that contributed to that.

As @thesoj mentioned, I'm at McGill and open to help.

All the best with your admission & TRV process

I'm not sure what that means to a PhD but it is relevant to a master's ( came across it in the Master's degree guideline). You might want to send an email to your intended school to clarify.
What I am aware of is Candidacy Examination for PhD students.

Experiences differ with CIC and timelines. Just keep your hopes up. You will get your passport request in no time.
