Hi there everybody, great job with the loads of information you are dishing out all time...I would like some opinions about university of Ottawa, I was in the process of compiling my documents to apply for masters degree when I was informed by a travel agent I'm friends with that uniottawa and most schools in Canada do not accept any cgpa that's below 3.5(2:1 Nigerian grading standard)...here is a little info about me, I graduated with a cgpa of 3.27, studied agricultural economics, I was intending to major in economics full time for my masters program...so I would like to know from experienced minds on this thread if i have been misinformed about uniottawa and about Canadian universities in general, I'd also appreciate some suggestions of schools that wouldn't turn down my application based on my cgpa...ps-recently took ielts and had an average score of 7.5...your candid opinions are being anticipated.

Hi Bioben, Did you send a mail or a case specific enqiry. Cos my application will be 12 weeks this friday. i have to know the step to take oh.

amb001:
Good morning"Masters", I hv started sourcing for info concerning availability of funding in form of scholarship and/or assistanceship frm uni of Manitoba. For the program of study I'm interested in, the Graduate Study Advisor happens to hv a Nigerian name (frm my ethnic grp). My question is dis: I knw my inquiry frm him should b formal but I'm tempted into asking him more about himself, introducing myself as his ethnic brother, and questions like his personal experiences. HW reasonable will dat b? Or shd I go straight to d point and give him my qualifications n experiences n ask abt my chances of landing funding.

Pls no yab me. I need advice as money no dey but brain to read dey. Thx for your assistances so far, masters. *Desperately*

@yemdogg and @pen.. i am just learning and chipping in my little input as i can. this canadian study visa process is just like reading past questions to prepare for the forthcoming exams which will opportune and expose you to know the tactically areas of concerns though individual cases differ in these VOs torchlight eyes i am still a TRV fall hopeful.the necessary things that cause minor refusal i have done if any negative thing happens at the end,with the help of GCMS note i would be guaranteed of a successfully reapplication by GOD'S GRACE.
since yesterday i have received calls from my friends in canada,even my canada whitey babe about the success of my application.i told them that nothing yet oo after their mail of ''my account has been updated'' since last month and very soon my app will clock 2months.To me CIC ACCRA,GHANA doesn't follow the process of ''first come first serve'' though many are called but few are chosen. I have witnessed disarray from update of those being responded to so far. could it also mean they have voluminous app this period? those guys must be f**kin' busy this period.

yemdogg:


Go straight to the point....... He may be an extremely professional individual and probably your attempt to familiarise with him may put him off.

If he's interested in familiarity, he would indicate that in his response to you.

I think CIC caused all this delays for us and themselves. Why can't they process applications from Nigeria in Nigeria.. Must they take it to ghana? Do they even have enough staffs in their ghana office to process applications from Nigeria, ghana and other West African countries(benin etc). .. Why delay no go dey..

opia12345:
do the needful, go straight to the point, but before you drop the call ,from what u may have observed ,chip in some informal interaction

Hello great pple in the house,

Permit me to use this space to thank you all for the great work you all are doing in here. I've been an ardent follower of this thread even before registering on nairaland, and I must confess that I've gain so much from the forum.

I've got a whole lot of knotty issues I'd like you guys to help with.

Background: I'm seeking a PhD (Electrical & Computer Engineering) admission into a Canadian university (preferably Alberta or Manitoba). I have the following grades in my previous studies - B.Eng CGPA - 4.09/5.0 and M.Eng GPA - 3.9/5.0 (57.3% average). I also have nine (9) years working experience in the telecommunication industry.

1. Would I be eligible for a PhD admission (with/without funding) with the above credentials?

2. If not (considering my unimpressive M.Eng grades), and I choose to apply for MSc (thesis based), would it be an added advantage applying with my M.Eng, or I should just apply with the B.Eng?

3. Wouldn't applying with a M.Eng (for another master program) place on me, a burden to convince the VO (when applying for study permit) on the need for an additional masters degree?

All contributions are welcome! Especially for my experienced bosses in the house (wouldn't want to mention names b'cos you guys are all great!)


Thanks.

Arcayo:

You can't blame them...maybe we Nigerians have highest number of applications, highest number fake documents,highest number of desperate applicants, etc, ghana processing time is 8weeks, Niger 5weeks, Republic of benin 8weeks....also you can't blame us Nigerians we want better standard of Living conditions for ourselves and children which our corrupt government/leader can't provide for us......we should all hope for the best and God's plan.

Hello fellow friends on the thread, I need your advice urgently as I am about applying for my student permit. I was offered admission by MUN, MA in Linguistics with funding. My first question is how good am I with my uncle with same saw name choosing to be my sponsor? Equally I am a Fulbright scholar, taught at a university in US. How bright is my chance of securing the permit with all these. Also, I am working at a newspaper company as a Chief Correspondent, read English in Undergraduate. Your answer please.

you stand a good chance with UofM ... i will urge you go
