my brother you no fit "follow" osemigho oooo, the bros na chairman if only you understand.
Level pass level
As for your question regarding IELTS, most schs do not need you to submit English test score, so just forget about it. I'll only advise you to do GRE if your gpa is very very low or your supervisor requires a gre score.
On the issue of funding, to be honest with you, ur gpa X.X1 is very low to secure funding even your Y.9Y for the last 2 yrs also, the chances are very slim. I didn't want to tell you this bad news b4 but seeing that you want to "farawe" chairman osemigho, i just have to tell you. For example, i met a lady today who was admitted into MAsc for civil engineering in UBC, she had 86% in her B.Eng and she was admitted without funding, not even partial. No funding at all. (She was unlucky, those who had higher percentages had exhausted the funds from her supervisor)
So my brother, double your hustle.

God is the chairman of all chairmen. I still be learner for this matter.

Dont paint me like i be one old papa o, Lemme follow my mate yarn o. We are both admission seekers. We can only both wish each other well.

God will help we admission seekers to cross the admission bridge. For visa applicants, God will help us. We will all find favour in the eyes of God and that of men. Amen!

After 3 schools (UofToronto and manitoba included) burst my fall 2016 ballon even with my 90% GP, I moved on to fall 2017. I am reapplying to same UofT again. Just that application fee never land. So, it's not just about GPA, although it can be a final decision factor. Recently, a program admin replied my email that admission committee read SOP first before anything.


If you truly see a non stressful greenlight ahead, you can't afford to quit no matter what. Keep trying! Keep soaring! But don't be afraid to seek help.

Visa applicants, I will need help soon.

Nony and co, make una no chop visa run away o.

Hello everyone.,

I applied using an agent in Canada, however I came to Nigeria last month to do my biometrics. How will I know when I have been called for medical as I didn't apply myself or used my email.

Thanks.

Your agent must have used an email for cic correspondence... I should believe it's your email. In anyway, an email would be sent requesting you to carry out medical assessment with designated medical centres.
Meanwhile, can you confirm that you applied inside of Canada? Are you a TRV holder? Do you have anyone you know who applied same way and was approved?
Regards

Riddeek & Osemigho

Thanks

Osemigho:


By the way, if you can conveniently afford #500-600k for just a year, try diploma in Unilag. It is one of the easiest way to enter Unilag. No jamb headache and an averagely serious mind will gain full admission to 200level ( #19.5k school fees) after one year of diploma.

I guess I just shared a secret you can use. Come pay me!

Person wan go Canada, you dey talk unilag, i am sure he/she has performed risk analysis on this issue, to have tried twice and yet getting ready to refire for the third time no be play at all. My advice is for him/her to get more valid sponsors whose SOA fit make VO quit him job.
He/she would be able to cope over there once he/she gets there. I personally know people (undergraduates) that are managing that way. Especially if you go to Waterloo engineering program, u'll use 2 yrs out of ur 5 yrs in co-op. At the end of the day, to pay tuition go be beans. The only problem will be how to remain an hopo samien for the first year.

@emma4eva et al.. apart from UNI OF WESTERN ONTARIO which other university considers last 2years CGPA,i know of University of Saskatchewan too but university of ottawa is competitive for MEng in ECE. my overall CGPA is 70.1% in canadian system while my last 2yrs is from 4.0, 3.90, 3.77, 4.09, I want to throw another application for MEng program in electrical and computer engineering while i dey wait response for admission from the other side.

which school do you feel that i have chances if i throw in application with good letter of motivation and recommendation?

Be assured that not less than 10 people in here will be processing your package with you... I promise to submit 2 lines each in addition to every one topic/heading you put in your LoE!!!..

Hmm... I wouldn't recommend for anyone (particularly undergraduate applicants) to go to Canada without access to funds that cover AT LEAST one year. You WILL suffer. While there are schools like uWaterloo that have very lengthy co-ops that enable the student to make enough money to pay a good fraction of your fees (assuming your course is in a highly-paid hot area like computer science), this is very uncommon.

Even with uWaterloo, undergraduate applicants in particular NEED to make sure that they have at least one year's worth of tuition and room and board. It WILL be an extremely difficult life in every way if you plan to go to Canada with little to zero funds, especially for an undergraduate in his/her teenage years or very early twenties. I speak from experience here, as I know several friends that tried this when we were undergrads... most did badly in school (one now works as a plumber, and it wasn't by choice... he couldn't get a decent job... I'm not joking), some were kicked out of school (two got deported as they were now illegal in the country); only a few were able to do it successfully (maybe 15%.. but these were the ones who had family or family friends around to bail them out or take them in if they were in the worst dire straits).

Also, don't forget that Canada is a very cold country. So if you ever end up getting stranded without a place to stay on a cold day, or if you can't afford to buy very good cold weather clothing, or if you are hungry, YOU WILL BE ROYALLY SCREWED and your health could be in serious danger. Please no undergraduate applicant should plan going to Canada without at least enough funds for the first year. I'd recommend making sure your sponsor can at least afford 75% of your total expenses for each year of your study, or at least 75% of what you need for your first two years.

If you are are going to a place like uWaterloo's co-op program AND you are studying a hot course like computer science, then maybe (and I still am reluctant to say this) only having one year's worth of funds might work. But do not try it otherwise.

U of R applicant too. JAn 2017 intake . Applied Oct 8 Online.
No medical call yet

@joblinks1
It will end in praises in Jesus name. So are you going to send the school a mail regarding the delay? A friend told me no need to mail the school for deferment since our letter carries alternate resumption dates. So confused right now.....

i love your spirit, but pls source for funds ooo, you have heard that 2 guys did not make it that way ooo amd even got deported, this is the time to remember that your daddy's friend's cousin's uncle's aunty who is the wife of that MD of that big company. Try to reach out to relatives/family etc. Ask your dad to borrow from them and you'll return it poco-a-poco. And i seriously hope your course has serious 100% sure co-op also. If not, pls just listen to chairman osemigho and go to unilag. But don't give up yet... In fact never lose hope.
I wish you well.

Your motivation and drive is well understood but you are taking a tough option in your pursuit. I have seen many tried this path at undergraduate level and come short, most did not complete their studies. I know someone that got tuition paid for two years but still dropped out the third year when the sponsor could not pay again despite that she was working. Even at postgraduate level people use to defer their program for a year in order to raise tuition money in those days but that is not an option now. 8,800 CAD is a tough ask to pay a year for someone at your level when you have to pay for feeding and accommodation not counting transport and other expenses out of whatever you earn from the work you do.

I understand your passion but your best bet is to complete your undergraduate here and then proceed for your postgraduate studies abroad because if you drop out of school over there it is going to adversely affect your future. There are many just hustling now because they dropped out and they can no longer regularize their stay.

Concerning your application, the VO was not convince that your sponsor will really sponsor you because it is such a huge investment and they are not your parents. your sponsor fund is quite sufficient, but the truth of the sponsorship is what is in doubt. Your sponsor need to justify why spending so much on your studies and do a convincing affidavit of sponsor.

@Capiti .
Hello bro,
I recv a mail from NBCC admission office that they just recv the transcript sent from my Uni and that my application is now complete for evaluation.
Am worried that can they use only my transcript to evaluate me without seeing my notorized certificates (Waec/Bsc) which they have earlier requested. Should I go ahead n send the other supporting documents?
Please enlighten me and how you do yours.

Thanks Bro.

capiti:


You should send supporting documents to admission office by post. Hope you get the NBCC admission because they have started offering admission for September 2017. I got already for Information technology and business analysis.

My guy, we no fit run oooo
It's just preparation.

For admission seekers,
Sincerely getting an MSc admission in a Canadian university is a great battle, some times greater than TRV application.
The competition is very high because people from other countries are involved too.
Even a very high Cgpa is not a guarantee. Securing a supervisor with full funding or scholarship is not easy at all.
I will encourage all applicants to prayerfully apply to schools where Africans have been recognised for their academic achievements
dont give up on your Canada dream#.
I would like to mention that Canada likes Nigerians too, our people are making waves in Canada.

Every applicant has a story.

thesoj:
You are welcome.
I can't share SOPs whatsoever due to plagiarism risks -- I also can't share anyone else's SOP as it would be a violation of their trust and privacy.

Hmm... I learned how to write SOPs when I was applying to grad school, and I have also had the opportunity to help review dozens of SOPs. But I am so busy these days that it is hard to find time to review SOPs because to do it well I have to invest time and concentration.

My advice for you is to go online and read up on how to write a good SOP. The main thing is you need to make sure that your content is organized into paragraphs that flow smoothly into each other. You also first need to have a plan of what you want to write before doing so. There are also a lot of posts on this thread (both this part and previous parts) that mention what you need to address in your SOP to CIC.

Ok bro

Please can you give us examples of such schools where Africans have good academic achievements so it can be a guide when applying to schools. Thank you.

Smiles! My dad and I combine does not have up to one million in our account and I have 5 siblings with Canadian dream. So, I know what you feeling. Furthermore, Am currently looking for just 260cad to apply to two schools and deadline is January. So, I'm probably more broke than you.

As far back as 8-10years ago when I was below 18years, I bought Canadian Visa form an agent named Jonathan King or Apple choice but was asked to bring about #90k which my Papa couldn't afford. I think I still have the form.

Gained undergraduate admission 4 9ja in 2010, and my Papa gave me #40k alone. School fees was #38.5k. So I combined teaching, hustling and schooling to feed myself and pay school 200level - final year. Applied for Visa lottery around 2012/2013. Hoping if I win I would have been done with 9ja Schooling and just go to "greener pasture" US.

With all these dream of mine, I was still diligent with my studies in Nigeria. Amazingly, God rewarded my diligency with an automatic employment. At this stage wey God put me, PhD is compulsory and even get deadline. So, Studying abroad is to improve my profile and would probably be sponsored by my employer.

However, I am still looking for full ride study oppurtunity for just a two year course. Why? because I know it is possible, I want to be a free man during and after my studies (I.e. I can decide to come back to Nigeria or not), and because I 100% believe it is something God can do.

So I know how you are feeling but don't want you and others to think 9ja is completely doomed.
That thousands of cad that you want to go and suffer with in Canada can get you convenient study in 9ja and you look forward to "greener pasture" in other countries which may or may not be Canada by the time you are done sef.

Except you going to engineering program in Waterloo wey I just learn say dey cool , I will advise you think twice.

Thanks for sharing your story and thanks to our elders, I now know about the Waterloo case. No knowledge is waste.

Sorry for the long post and story

Hi gurus here,
Is there any means I can do a degree program through credit transfer of my current hnd certificate in any Canada university?

Good day all,
When will b a good time to send CSE , my application has beem since Sept 26 online route. Does d CSE even have any effect on dem treating an application any faster??

I need advice from gurus in the house please. I need to make a transfer of 1m from the account I used in my trv application, do you think it will be detrimental to my application?

The facts are, I applied using one account because an agent whom I later realized to be more ignorant than myself adviced me to. I wanted to add my domicilliary account which has substantial amount in it with reasonable flow of money. I'm sponsoring myself, predicted the fall of the naira so I liquidated most of my naira into dollar at the rate of 196. As a result, I applied with only 5.3m as my closing balance. Thus, if I make use of 1m I will have 4.3 in it. I paid my first year tuition in full, my course is for 2years. Should I get statement of account of my dom account accross to Canadian consulate in Accra to make up for any financial shortfall? What do you all think or am I just been paranoid? Thank you for your urgent response house.

This is what I got after tracking my application. Since July 27. Your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office ACCRA , on 14/12/2016 to the Canada Visa Application Centre.To know more, please call VAC helpline number. How long till I get my processed passport? What does it mean?
