Hey Dear, @michV thanks for taking time to advice me. Erm its a graduate certificate in supply chain management though not postgraduate diploma and from my little research a Graduate certificate is like getting another BSc but based on a particular subject or field.And I chose this one because from my research online most pharmaceutical companies actually require such expertise. Perhaps the reason why they said purpose of visit was because I actually didn't attach a supporting letter stating my plans. I know very callous of me .

Am not an expert but this your assertion is wrong.

uwc miss. meanwhile Graduate certificate is an upgrade from B.SC in a systematic order. Postgraduate diploma/postgraduate certificate fall into the category of Graduate certificate. PGC(D) is more of acquiring practical/technical expertise in a particular field/area of study which in Canadian immigration system MUST be related to either you UG degree/work experience or even both if possible.Having a Maters degree from the U.K is a higher upgrade from bsc and pgc(d) and a VO may hardly be convinced on your ''purpose of visit'' which beyond reasonable doubt that even a S.O.P cannot do the magic when things are not humanly in order. opting for another masters in canada may solve this,preferably PHD admission would give you a perfect chance.

Good day beautiful house, many thanks to you guys for all your countless efforts, I have a little TECHNICAL QUESTION
Please I applied to university of Manitoba for a 3yrs undergraduate course but I will be doing a 1yr foundation program at International College of Manitoba first, making it a total of 4yrs. I am about applying for study permit but my passport will expire in 2019, do I need to renew my passport before applying or I can apply with it like that?
Your contributions are welcomed

I submitted my application for study permit PGD since July 27.I did biometrics same day. No medical call till date. No update from them.

Thanks everyone

question 1. Since it's dated 22nd Nov. and you are applying on the 2nd week of Jan.2017. it is still in other.
'' 2. I can't do the arithmetic now because i am not in my comfort zone.
'' 3. It is still very OK considering the Long wait/fluctuating processing time(s) so that you would have much time to arrange and
prepare for your departure.
'' 4. It has been said here before and some have shared the experience that you may not submit your passport if you need it for
for something else. Only make,i guess 3 photocopies of the data pages and submit along which you would also fill a
questionnaire at VFS asking if you will be needing your passport in the next 3 months and which your answer will have to be YES
and when your TRV approval is certain they will request for it.

check the admission requirement for the program you are applying to on their website....some programs do not require you getting a supervisor before applying.
i guess language requirement is waived for nigerians(check also for language requirement on the school site).....having GRE is very good but it's not mandatory you have it.
please make sure your CGPA is 4.0 and above....UBC is very competitive.

Congratulations Rickywowoz or Ziggarrr my childhood friend who attended same primary school and secondary school with me.

I am happy that today your visa has been approved and Canada is our destination.

We will surely meet in Canada soon.

All thanks to God. I tap into your testimony.

I only want to advice you to read peoples testimonies here and suit your application properly by rethinking and figuring it out.
Remember if you are going for PGC/PGD you must convince the visa officer very well while you chose the programme and how it will benefit you.

Kindly assist in thesequestions.

if it is a research-based masters MAsc then of course you need to, but if it is course-based M.Eng you don't.
You do not need IELTS/TOEFL, UBC recognizes Nigeria as an English-speaking nation.
As for GRE, it is not compulsory but highly recommended for international students, infact one supervisor wrote on his webpage that any student that wants to contact him to be his supervisor must present GRE score, immediately i saw this, i just zeroed all hopes of him being my supervisor.
The hunt continues...

Please OP can you secure any hospitality Job for me? A job that support career advancements.

Thanks~

well it depends on the dept.
in engineering and sciences, 4.0 is too low to get you admitted into UBC (except of course God wants you there), the stats they released showed that the average entry gpa was 90% for engineering and sciences and this starts from 4.5/5.0. (That doesn't mean those that have below this can not get admitted, as long as you prove ur research prowess you stand a chance).
Just so you know i have seen someone with 94% rejected at UBC in MAsc for electrical and computer engineering. The day i saw this i could not sleep well at night, i felt i had zero hope.
Its not surprising, afterall na top school and it is rated among the top30 in the world.

Hmmmmm
