Yes I removed the topic because he is not genuinely looking for a way to do it himself rather he is looking for an agent to get him visa to work and live in Canada. Even as you gave him links he doesn't seem to be willing. That thread will only attract dubious visa agents.

Been very busy of late. Am sorry if I didn't respond to your mentions here. I will get back to u.

Just to modify abit of the post sb wrote here abt the success rates of different categories of scholars.

With my experience with reading almost all the parts of this Travelling to Canada thread and with interactions with people out of this thread and my reasearch also. I would like to add my 2cents.

For PhD applicants- TRV success rate is 99% on first trial.I.e their first application. Doesn't matter if they haven't travelled outta the country before. PhD candidates are usually of high academic standing and most get funding from Canadian institutions. Hence there is little to worry about financially. Canada supports research a lot and we can see this by how they treat PhD students with good opportunities to remain even after their programs.

Master's Applicants-These set of people have a 99% success rate on TRV application on their second trial.I.e applying the second time after a previous denial. A lot get it on their first though when every other thing in the application is perfect enough. Especially applicants on a high academic standing with scholarships from Canada. Research based Masters is a path to further studies in obtaining a PhD. So these guys are potential PhD students. Course based Masters too have favorable success if financial standing is right.

PGD applicants- These set of people usually have a 99% rate on their 3rd trial.I.e applying the 3rd time after subsequent denials.This is after all loopholes have been covered and application is packaged well. A very few people in this category get it the first time.This is not to say they had the most packaged application. But if your application is well packaged, you stand a chance to get ur TRV.

BSc/Diploma- These set have a 99% success rate on their 2nd trial if their age,program,sponsors(parents) are right. Paying tuition for them seem like an advantage to get TRV becos they are perceived as dependants and might not be able to fend for themselves.

U can correct me if I am wrong.
Comments are welcome.

Cheers!

thanks for the information, this will really help many of us on here still processing.
but u didn't tell us what age is best for an undergraduate or diploma applicant who has their parent as sponsor.

my brother is 28 years of age and he intends using his mother as sponsor
his university program is yet to be completed and he says that he didnt make good grades in the university here in Nigeria.
hes applying with his o level result also he currently works with the state government(JUDIciary arm of govt)
of what advantage can his current job be to him during the school application process and getting (study visa)trv process
is his age okay for a 1yr diploma program or a 3 yr university degree program

linaluv:
please how or where do i get an essay i can send to a school i m planing to apply to

the school says i should submit a typed personal profile of 250-350 words essaying my goals in education , occupation and life,and also why i desire to attend their school. etc.

please guys help me out on this one

what can i do?

Supermum:

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

idolda:
@ berexio1, does that mean that students who are going for masters by course work will have difficulty gaining admission into PhD program? Please I need answer to this.

Naykay:
Please can a person who has just finished masters in IT in a UK university apply for a postgraduate certificate in project management in a college. Her argument was that she had done a bit of project management as a module during her master in IT and now she wants to study it as one year course. Can she convince the VO using a well structured SOP. She has no acedemic gap

berexio1:
It depends..For some courses there are make-ups u can do to qualify you while for some others u simply can't get in with ur course based masters. You will need to confirm with ur department to know.

idolda:
Hmmm! I saw something similar on a school website but didn't pay much attention to it until I saw your comment. I will be through with my undergraduate EARLY next year and unfortunately the only course I have interest in is only offered in University of Victoria via distance learning mode. It's a 3yr dual masters degree with coop work and after mailing the school I was told that the admission letter won't indicate that it's a distance learning course. Do you advise I go for this course? Won't I have problem with TRV and study permit?
Alternatively, I might apply for another one as second option but I prefer course based to research courses but my fear now is getting admission into PhD might not be so easy with a taught course.(Never thought that's how it is in Canada)

Hello gurus in the house. Hope you're all having a peaceful weekend.
This platform helped me a lot since I applied on my own in Oct 5.
However, I was delayed last week(Fanshawe college ). Only reason is :insufficient funds to pay for my tuition without working..... (painful thing) .meanwhile I paid half tuition 7k5 CAD and dad had a closing balance of 4.5, 80m worth properties, 115m annual émoluments, and soa of 600k hence I work..

I want to re-apply, but to a different school, same program., HOW WILL THIS CHANGE OF INSTITUTION AFFECT MY SECOND APPLICATION?? .

I've been advised not to switch schools because it might give cic a wrong impression.
Raising the funds in my dad's soa isn't a problem.
I'd appreciate a response back from the house. Thanks fam
Cheers

Didn't do an up-front medical.

1 Reason : insufficient balance to pay for my fees. Lol. Isn't that funny but not funny

quote author=berexio1 post=40725623]Your sponsor's balance seem cool.. But the house needs to know more on your profile like what course u did @UG and what course u are going for? any gaps? docs submitted and all..

EOJ13:
With this increasing rate of REFUSAL AFTER MEDICALS, is it that CIC has introduced another stage that review applications after medicals into the visa processing stages or they are just trying to create revenue for their panel of physicians?

I think we have to speak out to our government IF POSSIBLE and let them interven as the Indian govt did. Wasting #28k to #48k on medicals couple with the dissappointment one faces after refusal is not easy.
