Hello House
Please who knows how & where I can get a cheap flight to Toronto against 28th of December? Please don't tell me to check wakanow because their prices are outrageous. Also, to those who just picked up their passports, my passport was dispatched on Monday, when can I pick it up? Lastly, those already in Canada, what are we likely to face at the point of entry?

Amefricaa:
Just passing...

...good luck to everyone in the house.

Riddeek:
no, i am a prospective applicant just like you, i am just waiting for my scopeless sch to end their protest, organize convocation and hand over my certificate and transcript before i apply. So right now the VC of my sch has just paused my progress and i hope he does not forget to press play soon.
ECE means Electrical and Computer Engineering

ladykilllar:
Thanks, are you telling me your whole tuition is 8775$? Now another question hope this installmental payment does not affect my visa application and does not increase my chances of rejection?

I greet all the gurus in the house. Thanks for your wonderful contributions..

Can I use both my Bsc Pol Sci and masters in HR related course with 3yrs work experience in HR (all in Nigeria) to apply for admission into a Masters programme in Canada (MUN to be precise)?

Will my Masters cert here in Nigeria and experience boost my chances of admission if I include reasons like international exposure, global standard practice knowledge and easy gateway to seek offer to further my PhD.

Note: my reason for wanting to add this cert is am not sure only my bsc grade of 2.2 and employment history will be enough for the admission. And I don't think I can finance any course that is more than 1yr.

Please candid suggestions are needed my people

Turkish? Nahhh...personally, if one can fly with Turkish, one should be able to fly Ethiopian. So far, with my experiences, Ethiopia is better. Was actually impressed that an African airline flies 'directly' from North America and with good services.

Ethiopian among others.

Ok. Thank you. Been on this fee stuff since yesterday. Finally found a way with GTB today.

Chrissybaybee:
Hi Sammiejokes, are you for Durham college as well? I didn't pay anything before applying because as at when I applied (October), I had till December 1st to pay. However, Rosemary- Durhams rep for West Africa said payments will still be received after this date. For English test result, when I was about applying to them, I called the Admissions Office and they said English Test results are not required for Nigeria because we are already an English speaking country. They even took out the English Test column on my Application portal so I think you should be fine.

eMidas:
Does one need a Supervisor if one is applied to a course-based only program? I think getting a supervisor is required if its research-based program??
I'm applying to Ottawa as well. Can I reach you off Nairaland? Thanks.

I was not working but I stated in my sop that I am currently into mobile catering, 'make up' and a fashion designer which are all Bourne out of passion (I didn't even add any form of evidence)

I didn't pay any fees because I had till December to pay. I'll go ahead and pay the required fee to confirm my seat (I'll need help here please because I don't know how it's done now since form A has been barned)
I submitted my application on the 6th of October, I don't know when I passed medicals because I was not notified (I used paper route). Approval mail came in today.

How I tackled my 1st refusal reasons:
It was HRM in centennial college. I was refused based on:
Travel History
Family ties in Canada and country of residence
Personal assets and financial status
Purpose of visit
Current employment situation.

I was denied in November last year.
For travel history: I traveled to Dubai, South Africa, Ghana, kenya, (Jerusalem-Italy-Greece-this was a promo advertised to my mom's coy by a travel agency for 610k to the 3places so we jumped at it)

Family ties: I added my siblings and dads birth certificates, certificate of origin & intl passport data page and also stated in my sop that after my study program I would return to my home country to be closer to my family (na so lol) and then I added my sponsors 2nd land documents. For financial status, I added my account and also stated the transfer from my sponsor to my account in my sop.

Purpose of visit: i studied computer science in school and went for HRM but I guess I was wrong (I actually thought doing a PGD was beneficial to those who wanted to change careers but maybe it's not the same with Canada) so I opted for a related course in computer science. I stated in my sop how the course will be beneficial to me academically and in my home country.

Current employment situation: I noticed it was because I had no work experience in HRM so I included all my past employment letters from companies where I worked in their IT dept. I also included my past IT certification course certificates. I don't know if that helped.

I was able to do all these because of all I learnt on this forum especially from the gurus michV & co.

Well that's all I did. My current course is for 8months and I'm told ild have to do another course after this if I want 3years work permit...arrrrrgh. TBH, this is why I wanted UOIT because the course I opted for was for one year and it's msc, I could have been done in one year but I'm not complaining, I still thank God for this opportunity.

please I'll need help on how to go about in paying my fees o...Abeg don't abandon me + any Durham college applicant for winter 2017?? Please let's rub minds, accommodation and all.

I wish all TRV hopefuls the best. Don't give up, it will come out positive. Amen.

God Bless you all and sorry for my long post.
