Your purpose of visit will be questioned at any attempt to apply for a study permit with an advanced diploma. This is a NO NO! One thing to note is that, gaining admission is one thing and getting a study permit is another.You have a bsc and an msc..A diploma is NOT an academic progression for you considering your academic level.If you choose to apply for a masters instead, you may which to leave out the previous one you got out totally in your study permit application while explaining circumstances surrounding any academic gap(s). Choose a program that is best related to your previous education and study interest and relate this to your situation as you show a progression academically and career wise.

I think i will disagree with you on that, i av a friend who's a geologist, and had msc in petroleum geology and presently at SAIT for a 2yrs pgd in petroleum engineering technology, he declared his msc and was given TRV. Every1's case is different, phd or msc is not a must, if u av a good SOP and and a tite app u'll get ur TRV.

I intend traveling to Canada to study Business Administration either PGD or certificate programme in a college in Vancouver or Prince george.
And my sponsor gave me a budget of about 1.5million naira
1.How is it possible to pursue the dream with the said amount judging that school fees is about 12,000 Canadian dollars on the average for the two colleges I intend applying to.
2.Is there any place I can source Canadian dollars from to avoid the madness in U.S dollar so as to save cost in paying my school fees
3.I have decided to go through agents who are good in helping people secure visa, can I actually save more and get a chance of securing the visa if i do it my self?

There shouldn't be a problem to your 1.5m if it is d closing balance on your sponsor account and there is a good inflow and outflow in dat account. In addition to dat, if your sponsor source of income can be easily verifiable and all docs supporting his source of income are provided, then you are good to go. Note: I know someone who has #150 as closing balance but 15M+ as inflow and outflow and still get his trv. Good luck to all trv hopefuls.

Good morning. I am a geologist too, about to round up my M.Sc in petroleum geology. I also have the intention of migrating to Canada through school. I wanted to apply for PHD but someone advised I repeat M.Sc, I have been writing to supervisors for some months now, buy haven't gotten a positive reply. Please what advice do you have for me?

dreeyy:


Its difficult to offer you any advice without knowledge about your profile, what program were you going for? What's your qualification? Is there any relationship betw your qualification/experience with your intended program? If its undergraduate, how old are you? These are some of the issues that bring about purpose of visit. Do you have to tell the house so that one can know from which perspective they would tackle the vo's reason.

ebimila:
thanks for the response. I'm going for HRM pg@CONESTOGA. Qualification is a LLB (law) aged 40 (hope this isnt a red flag)

You don't need to buy CAD coz actually no one will sell CAD for you. What bank sell for you is USD. I don't know what you paying for, if it is school fees, you either buy USD straight from the bank or you open a Dom account , buy usd from aboki or anyone and deposit it into your Dom account.
As regards sustaining yourself with little job, ofcourse you can, in as much as that's not where you intend to source all your tuition fees. You can always have your 20hrs/week job but I can bet you that's just for "sustainance" like you mentioned.

I hope this help

hello...is it advisable for international students to apply for the summer semester?

Osemigho:


Except deferral, fall and winter(in some cases) ar the best.

Bro, I'm not a vo, but l easily can points one or two red flags on your profile. A lot have been said on here as regards the risk in PGD in HRM for someone who don't have either a qualification in HRM or working experience in HRM. Without repeating what has been said, if this is the only course you think you can do may be by the virtue of your result or something, your best way to tackle the purpose of visit is to provide as many as possible, convincing evidence of your previous job experience that is directly in HRM. Or else, You may want to try another course that is closely related to your degree.
However, which ever course you decided to put in for, you have to back it up with a good no of years of working experience. This is important as an explanation for the gap in education considering your age. You also will have to give a very tangible reason on why you have to get the qualification at this stage of your career.
So all in all, providing good evidences (most especially for your working experience) and a very convincing SOP can do the magic for you.

I hope this helps

You should have seen the major reasons for the delay already... I will advise you post the summary part of your GCMS notes if you have one.... So we can have an idea on resolving the family ties part....the purpose of visit violation is clearly expressed by your choice of proposed program.... 70 SoPs will not convince even me about any possible relationship between LLB law and HRM!..
Guys, HRM is not the only program in Canada!!!!.... Let's avoid wasting time and money.
Regards.

I will also be applying to at least two schools in USA this January. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

uso84:
please do US schools require GMAT or GRE compulsorily for masters programme in business related programmes.. .my bsc is maeketing with 4.40 GAP.. tnx to d guru

Folaroyal:

Sure... There's now law or regulations against it... you should however be clear about his intentions in the LoE... Please do this rightly OK....

It makes better sense to request for him to go with you and ensure you settle down before he returns to his work..... Mention his ties to Nigeria, employment, finances including pension, itinerary to and from Canada, hotel/accommodation and flight reservation.
Thanks I didn't phrase my explanation well. I meant going with me when am going in may not before but he will return
Does it not raise some suspicion that he wants to visit before you now again travel in May??
Best of luck!
