Pls I need advice, I have B.sc geology and a Msc in petroleum Geoscience both from nigeria. I currently don't want to do a phd in petroleum geology considering the current sitiation in the oil industry. I want to switch to environmental management or geomatics. I am currently looking at applying to USASK and University of New Brunswick. I have a feeling the VO will raise a red flag at doing another Msc. I am in a fix. Pls can the guru in the house advice.

I am in your shoes! Just silence your Msc. Hide it in your application!

Please guys help me here, can someone with a cgpa of 2.5 at of 5.0 do a masters course in Canada, help a brother

possible but hard. Try PGC(D) in a course that has similar name with your BSC. e.g PGC in Statistics, if you have BSc Statistics but prepare to spend close to CAD 35,000.

Folaroyal:
Please read!!!!!!

Morning guys,
Due to the influx being experienced.... kindly please take a bit of advise in order to get things running smoothly and secure desired responses to queries;
* do a bit of research on your own (Google... Schools website.... Canada immigration website)
* ask straight to point and relevant questions that will encourage contributors go all out to provide answers.
* go a step up by also researching answers provided to you.... On CIC web or Google.
* do not be in too much a hurry in expecting responses as contributors will need to study and provide accurate answers so as no to further mislead you.
* most importantly.... Be tolerant and respect one another (either posts... Comments... Responses...or criticisms)
That's how we roll here!!!!!!...

Kindly take note!!!

Ziggarrr:
You need a supervisor only if you are going for a research based program. I didn't secure a supervisor before submitting my application because I applied for a course based program

thanks for your reply, mi just emailed you, kindly reply please.

Have a Bsc in biochemistry, what will u recommend and which school will u recommend, pls, I have no idea Abt the whole thing, the money is no issue, I have sponsors

pharmow:
Yes you are right, you have to be physically present in Canada for 1460 days after PR. Considering that I was in school for 1 year n half then work for another one year before applying, 3.5 years is not long.
I believe studying in Canada is not that hard, though you may have loads of course work, but the professors are always willing to provide assistance. On getting PR, you need to finish your school program first, then get a skilled work.
There are different streams you can apply through, but the fastest is the Express entry. With Canadian educational qualification and skilled job experience, the chance of getting enough points for ITA (Invitation to apply) is high.

Thank you for the reply.

You and other founding fathers dwell a lot on the PR and citizenship back then. Am opportuned to read it. Co-op program was also talked about then and Second-tier citizenship I guess. What role does 6 month co-op play in applying for PR immediately after study?
Is the second-tier citizenship still on and any limit to benefits they enjoy?

Bros I have no idea. Google colleges or check universities that offer it and their requirements, but ensure the course name spell biochemistry. Start googling immediately.

henrinco:

Thanks.. There are other details needed. Not just proposal and can't be more than 3 pages..

Thanks still

With 6 month Co-op program, you can get employed by the company after you finish. And you need a permanent full-time job when applying for the express entry program.
About the 2nd tier citizenship, it's called bill C-24. The essence was to stop terrorists from using Canada as a safe haven for their devilish act. The government realize that there are some immigrants and children of immigrants that have dual citizenship, and because of this, they join extreme terrorists group believing that Canadian government will fight on their behalf when they get caught. Hence the government passed a bill that if you have dual citizenship, and you commit a terrorist act, your Canadian citizenship will be revoked. Apart from this, you have every single right and benefit as any other Canadian. In honesty, Canadians are very hospitable and open-minded.

Good work to everyone, please I want enlightenment on this, my fiancee is the principal applicant for master in Canada, After the admission letter/acceptance what is the next step to take? because we are going together. thanks

platypelloid:
Hello,
pls anybody applying to UBC?

Must i get a research supervisor before sending my application?
do i have to write ielts and gre?

Kindly assist in thesequestions.

No u wont need to get any supervisor before and after applying. you will be assigned an advisor about two months to the begining of your class.

That was the reply l got from the school when l asked about getting a supervisor after l was admitted.

on IELTS: l didnt write any. the recommendation form to be filled by your lecturer or supervisor will take care of that. They will specify on your English capability.

hope that helps?

You simply need to be clear/detailed enough to get the kind of information you desire ooo..
What is her UG course?
What grade?
Have you secured admission yet?
Which sch... What program?
It is after that admission phase that you can begin your study permit processing.. But my only advise here is that... Make sure you study well and strive to satisfy "every" requirements as regards your TRV application (take useful advises from the thread). ... Cos... It might just be worth it after all!!... .do not wait till after submission before you begin reading posts on this thread!
Regards.

On the form IMM5645E, the principal applicant will be asked to indicate people that will accompany him/her to Canada.
this is part of the form that will be filled and submitted to CIC.

I guess with enough document to prove it e.g employment letter, study leave letter, and a well detailed SOP. Possible but will still be a risk.

Not doing it again...it might hinder alot.
