Kisstaye..I don't bitch...never even mentioned anything about my app on this thread. Despite my being chill, it must be accepted this process is sorta flawed. When the website tells people 12weeks and then people are still chilling 17weeks on with no medical call and some are approved/denied in 6-8 weeks? That extent of variance is not acceptable anywhere. I'm no lawyer but there is a duty of trust established when I'm told my application will processed within a particular period, should the process exceed the given time, that constitutes a tort especially because money has exchanged hands. Being a project manager and a time person, I have seen how time can be cheap and also very costly.

Barring the event of a late application, yes it is victimization to not have given an international applicant his/her judgement 2weeks from the beginning of the intended program. So many things to consider, ticket, accommodation, ample time to resign from work, sell off stuff, buy warm weather clothing and shoes etc....

The fact that we want to enter their country to study does not licence them to play God and process applications according to 'discretion' while abandoning the checklist of requirements demanded from us during submission.
I get what you mean..but the question remains what can you do about all that? NOTHING. me,im more of an action minded person..frustration is easy to feel and it's ur right but instead of dwelling on that I analyse situation circumstances and move on to my plan B. it's life and it's never fair.

Your mail could have been more objective if you had not included (Applicants going for Master and PHd programs are receiving a biased and fair treatment compared to PGD/PGC applicants). You should have discuss your problems in its entirety as you can't judge someone else application. I believe each applicant's case is different. Only discuss your concerns in its entirety with detailed logical grounds before concluding.

Bro, stop being selfish. Pgd applicants wait for more than 17 weeks without knowing their fate as against Masters applicants that gets their applications approved in less than 8 weeks. Is that unfair to you? His email was precise and concise.

Bro, For those that are forwarding petitions, i think it is right they use their actual email address which they filled in their various visa applications to forward those mail (as they wish) so that their petitions could easily be identified and treated.

You have a big problem. Bro, are you happy seeing your fellow applicants being denied because they are going for Pgd ? You aren't making any sense so stop posting and think . Dont get me annoyed.

The day I applied for the visa, the processing time was 10 weeks, it's now 15 weeks, probably they think it's easy to move to another country within 1 week and settle down. I literally paused my life for months but I canceled my Canadian visa application and requested a refund a week ago. I got my U.S. visa approved on Monday.

I'm divergent in nature and I also have to protect my dignity. I will not pay processing fee just to be subjected to this biased and inhumane treatment. I have many things to say but one of the many things I find appalling is that they provide status update to many other countries within days or few weeks but keep us waiting forever as if we don't have any reasonable thing to do with our lives, yet we keep paying for this gullible treatment.

If you think all they are just doing is scrutinize application, you are wrong. Their main objective is to apply what is called Social Engineering, they are applying social and human control into the approval or denial process, that's why you will see some applicant who waited 20 weeks get denied with silly reasons like "Purpose of visit".

They need to treat all applicant with respect and dignity. I support those that have also contacted the Canadian immigration minister, I have also bitterly and constructively gave them a piece of my mind. Let's all speak up when we see injustice, by doing that, we are helping future applicants.

Good luck everyone.

Finally, some people are beginning to say things the way they are.

na ijebu i wan play brother,CIC SAY NA MASTERS DEY INTEREST DEM NA grin if i collect awufuu admission from UBC,i use am apply for visa.but na as not being sure of applying pgwp in another province,i think i v to consider Saskatchewan.i no sabi speak French oo
my bro, I got admitted by university of Regina into an Meng program. My GPA is just 3.58. I applied to UBC too but I never get response from them because I applied for Msc and I didn't secure a supervisor, they even sent me a mail last week that if I'm interested in masters in engineering leadership that I should just let them know so that I will be considered for Jan 2017 intake. Before I got my admission, I filled the university of Saskatchewan pre-admission form and they also sent me a mail last week that I'm qualified to officially apply.

During my search for admission. I sent my transcript to the program cordinators of my intending programs asking them if I met the admission requirement for masters. Some were +ve while some were -ve....I studied Chem like you and I can tell you that you are super qualified for meng admission.

When I was waiting for my admission, I got scared and applied to six German schools because I thought they are gonna admit me freely since I made 2.1 and I have seen a third class grad got admitted for a masters degree..Unfortunately I was rejected by all six schools, lol. But before then my Canada admission don land.

So my guy, in my opinion you just need to try, final GPA is not the only thing they consider, for instance you can get Msc admission with a 2.2 degree if your last two years is very okay. Queens university told me that although they have 70% as their minimum requirement, that I'm free to apply because I did very well in some individual courses that are related to their core research area.

So no two cases are the same, you just have to try and hope for the best. Good luck bro.

Hello fam. I was going to apply for Bachelor of Petroleum Tech at SAIT, but the tuition turned me to Usain Bolt. However, I will be starting my MS in Power Eng in Germany, tuition-free, come October. I feel this is a smarter move, considering that the school is ranked top 60 globally. Ultimately, I would like to work in Canada after my study, as I have learnt that Power Engineers are highly remunerated in CA. What are the possibilities of securing employment with a Canadian firm from outside Canada? I am considering doing internship with a Canadian firm while studying. Are they known to give full-time employment to foreign-institution students who do internship with them, after their study?
