To help you more on proof of funding and 3rd party sponsorship... Pls study attachment as a guide!
Regards

@folaroyal please it's a 6 pages document....if u dnt mind I would like to read it all ooo as it is really informative... really appreciate.

QuantumMove01:
If it is $20,000 per year for upto four years then I think it is still a very good funding. It is good to go for the embassy in addition to other financial/sponsorship documents you will need to submit.
Wish you all the best.

#MyTwoCents

I spoke with a Prof, He agreed to supervise my PhD programm and he asked applied for the deans scholarship award for me and he said I should inofrm him once i hear anything from them . I have not heared anything, So i was suprised to see your post that you have been issued yours was declined. Does it means they are making the consideration based on department or what? I drafted a proposal which my supervisor accepted but he said that the dean scholarship award is my only hope. I will appreciate if anyone could shed more light on this.

Osemigho:
Was supervisor a requirement?

If yes, did you get one before applying?

If yes, but you didnt get one, I think the first statement in the quote reflect the need for you to have one before applying.

Just be hopeful. All the best.

Yeah, I got a supervisor. I was suppose to apply for fall 2016,he said he was interested in my research topic but couldnt accomodate more students for fall 2016 and adviced me to apply fall 2017... fast forward to jan 2017... He said he didnt have funding for me nomore but i should go ahead and apply that maybe he could pick an interest again when he reviews my application

Austinpee4:
Ok. Waiting..

Please, i sent a pm to you..

Need some clarificaion..

Thanks

obaxlove:
I work in the company and it's not own by any of my relatives.

We just want to know if they will come down to the company for verification or not.
Also to confirm if they verify outside the information given. Pls help. Anybody with the same experience or have same info.

If you work there, I don't think you need to bother yourself, all you need to affirm that is your payslip and SOA showing your salary, with the confirmation of your bank details alone by the embassy, a VO can actually infer that you work there and the company exist.

Many thanks but some of those forms ain't working for me, like 1MM 1294....I could not open it(I use Linux). Could you please send me a copy of the form?

when you click on the file on your application page, it opens in a new tab but without displaying the content of the documents.

then you click on download and save on your computer. go to the place you saved it on your computer, right click on the document and select ''open with''. then you select your Adobe reader. it should work. I did mine just last week.

My Case is Different (Final Part)

Well, in all these disappointments my case was still different as I took time to engage God and believe solely on him for a testimony. The same research proposal sent to the Female Professor at the University of New Brunswick was sent to another Prof at Waterloo who was even a Canada Research Chair and she also picked interest in my proposal. In fact her comment was that the topic was very interesting and that I should just make sure I meet the requirement set by the school, also asking me to send in my transcripts for review in the timebeing……. (Note: This explicitly tells that she’s not only interested in my proposal but also willing to supervise me). Walahi! My joy knew no bound when I received the mail. Hello Sir, I was extremely happy. I knew this was it, so I kept praying and believing in God. As a sharp Nigerian like you , I quickly fired-in my application with alacrity, making sure her name reflected both in my Letter of Intent and in the application form before replying her mail. My fear was that I had 3,66/5.00 which if converted to percentage equals 73.2% approximately while the school requirement was 75% for a MASc, though i had 4.00/5.00 (80%) GPA in my last 2 years.

The application I submitted was for spring 2017 and by the end of July 2016, application documents were complete. So I kept praying to God, specifically asking for admission and full funding. Isn’t that funny?!! Full funding indeed ….. but I was serious about these crazy asking even though I knew my credentials did not qualify me, but his word (…"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too difficult for me?.... I knew would qualify me. You obviously know how competitive engineering research programs are in the University of Waterloo and that their research program are partially funded for international students. This is because you have nothing left anymore once your tuition is removed from the funding or scholarship awarded to you.

So, after a fasting and praise session and I mean PRAISE not prayer as declared by my father Bishop David Oyedepo on Nov 14, 2016, I got a mail from the Graduate Administrator for the department that my intended supervisor had shown interest in my application but would prefer I begin my application in Fall 2017 instead of the Spring I applied for, asking if that will be cool by me. Immediately I replied the mail that I will be very glad to begin the program in the Fall 2017. What am using my life to do that I can’t wait till fall. :DLollsss. Though I didn’t add the latter sentence to it anyway……. !!!!lolllssssssss

As soon as i got to know this, and with the extent of information garnered on this forum, I started submitting letters to gain internship experience in some agencies that could provide me a background to my intended research. Imagine, the research that the school hasn’t even given me an admission yet. This I did because, I wasn’t working in the engineering industry per-say and to avoid that being used against me by the VO, I had to seek for internship, though the job I was doing still complemented my profile as I was working as a Research Person in a private firm as at then.

However I knew my best bet was to be in the engineering industry. So I started strategizing not knowing that my strategies would eventually pay off, in fact it was only God’s inspiration. You know how stupid it can look to leave the current job you are using to survive for an internship in a place where you are not even sure of getting transport fare. But praise be to God, I submitted letters of request to three (3) organizations that aligned with my research intentions and got positive responses from two (2) of them. The first posted me to its Research and Development Division and the Second was one of the FG-World Bank Project where I was given the opportunity to engage in a pilot data collection exercise of relevance to my intended research, travelling all across most of the northern parts of Nigeria with a nice package. As a matter of fact this is still going on and I’m still on it, It can only be God. The Third is an intergovernmental organization widely known across West Africa, in fact we were all taught its acronym in Secondary School and my request is still being processed.

It is really unbelievable to be given opportunities with these organizations without even an admission letter to prove that you are going for a research program true-true loolllsss..Only by mere making the organizations see a need for the research and how gaining experience with them will help provide me a background to my intended research at the University of Waterloo was good enough for them to involve me. This is only God’s Wisdom not Man’s wisdom.

…….See!! God doesn’t need anybody’s approval to help you out once you put your total trust in him. Colleagues in the present place where I’m running the internship still do not understand how I was engaged and wouldn’t believe my story, they think I have a very influential person at the top who slotted me in… You know as Naija Parole dey always be naa! !…Any way they are Correct! The Influential person is God…. Abi no be so? He’s the most influential person in the entire Universe.

Lesson: Without Faith it is impossible to please God and Faith without action is a dead faith. Start taking some abnormal steps in the direction of your purpose trusting in God alone. We have been made to believe that human connection is what we need to survive, but remember that man is limited and God is Unlimited. One thing I have noticed is that most people who get it using peoples connection eventually gets stuck either now or in the nearest future. They are not able to achieve or live to their full potential since they didn’t wait on God to help them out to give them the best. Most people in this category are even frustrated and are looking for how to break free to achieve what they are TRULY passionate about.

Remember…..... "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD…Jer 17:5. Stop trusting in Man and start trusting God, you may think that he’s slow but he doesn’t look at the clock as you do and time doesn’t dictate to him, he dictates to time. Even in all this, you have to put actions to your faith. Don’t just believe and sit down there and be waiting for it, go out for it believing that you will get it. You would be surprised where this will land you……Be crazy enough to go after what looks impossible to achieve in your line of purpose because Crazy faith is what moves God to step in…Yes Crazy FAITH!!!

So as I was saying, before I know it, I checked and Spring had been changed to Fall 2017 on my Quest (the student/application portal for Waterloo Students) account, so the waiting continued and my believe and prayers for full funding did not stop as I know of a surety that my case was ordained to be different. I sent in mails to the graduate administrator as to when letters would be sent out and she indicated that decision letters would be sent out by April 1. …..So I kept on praying and engaging in kingdom advancement prayers…. Matt6:33…..Seek yee first the kingdom of God and every other thing shall be added unto you!! ; knowing fully well that God is ever true to his covenant and words…In the process I applied to UBC as well since the application fee is free. Abi? Why shouldn’t I apply naa?! since the awoof application waiver is good and in no dey run belle, but I really didn’t put my mind to it.

To cut the long story short I checked my mailbox on April 1, 2017 and God did it, I was offered admission into a (MASc) in Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo and was funded by the University, the department and my supervisor as well. funding package amounted to 22880 CAD per year.

********Very Important Note*************
The preceding paragraph with all other write-ups excluding the bible verses and peripheral adjustments was written between March 14 and March 28 and on March 29 (instead of April 1) I got a mail that I have been offered admission into uWaterloo and the funding if calculated sums to 45760 CAD for 2 years without tuition waiver. So all i need is to prove living expenses alone

As the word of the Lord says…… Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay….Hab 2:2-3. This was impossible to believe but God loves doing what is impossible to Man . ...He loves it when you do the foolish things he tells you, because he uses it to confuse the wise. He qualified me despite my CGPA before the graduate committee and extremely favoured me with generous funding. Who’s is the doer of all this? GOD!!!!! Another gist is that the person I’ll be working with administrates the Society that regulates my profession in the entire Canada… I’m sure you know what that means………

God wants to do more than this for you if you will only go after impossible things and hold on to him ALONE. Do your own part and then leave the rest for him to handle. He’s a very faithful God.

To all Admission seekers, you case is also ordained to be different.

….Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path….. Prov 3: 5

My case is different!!!! So is yours, because we are the redeemed of the Lord and as a covenant child, what affect others is not permitted to affect us.

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: Why don’t you let Jesus help you with all your worries, accept him into your life and he will make you a covenant child. …..Jesus Loves you!!….

Great work and well done everyone!

Pls., anybody with a reliable contact in Fed. Polytechnic Offa Kwara State?

Austinpee4:
Other means miscellaneous funds and it's not compulsory to fill unless it is also written on your admission letter or you explictly have divided your funds in all aspect and want to state it.
The part with the esterisk (*) on the form is compulsory and must be filled. The main thing is that the funds available for your stay is proportionate to the funds available in a SOA or is equivalent to proof of funds transferred to canada or any other financial means.

First post alert!!!
Hi everyone. I've been a silent observer.
I am a graduate of marketing Nnamdi Azikiwe university. I graduated with a good 2.1 and I would be through with my nysc next wk. I was offered admission to study Global business management pgc in Centennial college ontario. I made the tuition fee deposit of $2300CAD and I've been sent my admission letter and invoice receipt. Since its my first time and I would not want to mess it up , I contacted an agent in lagos and I feel i even know better than he does from the little I learnt here on this thread(u guys are great).
Please I still need help from our godfathers here.if someone can chat me up privately or drop a contact for me to call.God bless u all

Note: i have about 1m in one account which i got tru betting...can i use that too?? Thanks

@michv pls i sent you pm, i beg you respond
tnx

florentm:
@michv pls i sent you pm, i beg you respond
tnx

bro/sis I no see any PM oo even on my NL wall too

@ Surgee, we should understand that grace of God comes with being proactive & informed. Faith without knowledge is a pipe-dream.

So many Christians are not having opportunities not because God doesn't like them but because of absence of hard-work, information and the ability to think ahead. They still pray everyday and nothing happens.

Nairaland helps to bridge that gap.

You should emphasize more on that not on scriptures, this is a neutral thread not religous

Part of communication etiquettes demands you understand your audience. We have Christians, Muslims, atheist etc here.

When evangelizing & testimony sharing, the motive is to win souls and build our faith in God.

In Nairaland travel section, the purpose is information sharing.

If you have ideas on writing superb research proposals; you share, you have a unique way of writing that brings opportunities; you share.

You have ideas on getting internships that can help, you share.

That way everyone becomes more knowledgeable, more enlightened, more useful to themselves and overall become better for the purpose of "TRAVELLING TO CANADA AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT"

P.S I am Christian

Congrats. I wish you the very best.

Also note you don't have to agree with me, or even regard my message, you can simply ignore and do your things the way you like.

Cheers.

Good morning you gurus, hopefuls and even una wey DEY ghost mode

Please I'm trying to link my application online, they are asking for applications number is it the same as tracking ID? Or reference no.?

funny Gee!!! a Gee nigga!!! hustle must pay.
coming to the real deal. What have you being doing as you as 30+? employment/ meaningful activity should be explained to the VO with proves if possible. your plot of land is a home tie too as I presume you are single but you may respond to my above question?

Michelleflores:
April 1st 2017 is tomorrow, I'm kinda confused.

Go read d latter part to get it. It can only b God..... He wrote his testimony in advance dats d meaning, read btw d lines.

Eraytee:

Yeah! True it is God, but for the purpose of the thread, more emphasis is placed on the "how"

When one gets a TRV we enjoy the testimony as a family but the focus is sharing the documents. It is when the person shares the documents that others can model theirs in that direction. Knowledge has been transfered in that process.

Emphasising on grace does not stimulate intellectual development.

I am a Christian and a catholic for that matter.@genuis00 just about when I wanted typing your post came in.
I blessed the name of God in his life as proclaimed and big congratulations to him but there is one thing I believe about principles of existence and nature which my father told me.

He said son, everyone in life has his/her appointed time. if we ever knew our appointed times, we would relax and wait for that due date/year to take action but as God is omniscience, he kept us in suspense, hence our struggle till when the appointed time comes. I may be struggling and killing myself that I want to go to Canada this year. if the designed year is in the year 2019,even if I applied to all schools in Canada, I will still get refused till that 2019 and things will be happening miraculously.

some neither prayed nor fasted and they got their visas once at first try while flexing and chilling even fornicating sef. I believe also failure builds up more efforts and alternatives to success. If we categorized it on prayers/scriptures, that means God is partial to so many on this thread who even went to vigils and slept on the altar of God to answer their prayers.

I believe in destiny, hard-work, smartness, knowledge and information.we Africans especially Nigerians are too way spiritual and this why we aren't going far, Nigeria has the highest number of churches in the world and expensive edifices for that matter while western worlds are using their money for developments and betterment of the masses lives.

Honestly your post here are some of the best around. You understand how a thread like this should function and leave out personal sentiments.

I share your opinion. Reading through his post all I kept on wondering was how he structured his research proposals. But I didn't see none of that, all I saw was have faith.

There have been a lot of Christians, Muslim's and traditional worshippers (I suppose) who have gotten TRV and also rejected. If religious faith is given all the credits, then there'll be serious contradictions here.

I think people should endeavour to emphasise the practical measures taken to compose their applications. That will be more helpful to everyone.
