Hello everyone. I just went through the graduate programs being offered by Lambton college and to say i love them is an understatement. I like the fact that their IT programs are broken down into bits. I particularly like the fact that they have a program that is DATABASE specific and i'll like to pursue an MSC in a database specific IT program,

However, the problem that i have with lambton is that it's unbelievably expensive (Apprx 22,000 CAN dollars) for the 2 year program.

Is there any cheaper schools, preferably, public schools with similar programs.

Thanks in anticipation.

Justwise, i'm going to Canada oo...Lol grin

What about a 23 or 25years old going for masters, does he need to write sop??

That depends on your personal situation. 20-25 is very well within university age. Use the SOP to explain unique situations that documents can't reflect

DOs and DON'Ts continued

6. DON’T explain any situation that is normal. There have been a lot of questions about just how effectively SOP affect your application. Now there is a significant difference between a statement of purpose and a letter of intent/explanation. A statement of purpose is usually geared towards your school admission application, mostly likely Masters and PhD courses, where you explain whey you want to be admitted to the particular course. Then there is also "an essay" is usually written for the same purpose though for an undergraduate admission. When it comes to your visa application, you are meant to explain any supplementary information on your letter of intent/explanation, not necessary a Statement of Purpose. The VOs are more concerned about your eligibility to be in Canada than your eligibility to study a particular course. They are in the business of border control not admission. If you have a normal visa application case, say a 24 year old Petroleum Engineering graduate applying a year after graduation for Masters in Oil and Gas engineering then you have nothing to explain. Similarly, a 22 year old applying for a BSc. has nothing to explain because that person is still very much within the normal age for University education. Letter of Explanation actually is the least important documents in your visa application, if everything else is in place. If you have any lapses or inadequacies in your application, a LOE or SOP if you like will do nothing to improve your case, in some instances it might make your application look dubious eg. someone that already has a Masters in Banking, going for a certificate course in photography and using a SOP/LOE to explain why he loves photography, in most cases WILL come out as fraudulent even if the applicant genuine intentions. Focus on presenting a sensible, logical, neat and simple application with the appropriate documents and leave the LOE or SOP for only when you have a special situation you need to explain. USE SOP or LOE when you have something relevant to say that can influence you application. Let your story be sensible!

7. DON’T misrepresent in your application. Misrepresentation ends in a refusal 10 out of 10 times. Misrepresentation can mean lying and lying a lie that is easily detected. For instance if you say you are a married man and at the same time say you have no dependants on your application; because of your finances, that’s an obvious lie. VOs know that most men provide the income for their family so that as simple as it is can end up in a refusal, if you have 3 kids state it and make sure you have the finances in your account to show that you can look after them. If you have been to any country, be very sure to state it in your application. VOs trust liquid cash more than assets. Assets are only an advantage when proving ties to home not as a means to financial resource. If you have been refused a visa, be sure again to indicate it on your application. If you must lie, which is not advisable, your lie/s must be impossible to peel apart and with solid documents to back up.

8. DO factor in time when applying for your visa. There has been a lot of questions about whether or not online applications are faster than paper applications and the answer is quite obvious. Online applications are processed faster because obviously all the VO has to do is sit in front of a computer to review yours application. There are no transit times between VFS and Ghana, whereas on paper applications your documents have to be physically couriered to the embassy which is in Ghana I believe, that obviously again takes a specified time, maybe one, two or three days depending on the backlog. Now while online applications are PROCESSED faster, that doesn’t necessarily mean someone who applied online would always get their visa faster than someone who applied via paper because every case is individual and different. The earlier you apply, the better. Don’t do last minute submission because processing time varies and if you get your visa late, you would have issues at the point of entry in Canada.

9. DO consider passport validity rules. You will not be issued a visa passed the validity of your passport, so keep that in mind. If you are doing a two year course and your visa expires in a year, you’ll be given likely a 9 month visa that must be extended when you get a new passport. The Nigerian consulate is in Ottawa, and it is possible to get a new passport there for about $120 CDN. However when extending your permit, you’ll need bank statements and paperwork from your school.

10. DO reapply. If for any reason you were refused, calmly look through the lapses on your application and requested for more information regarding your case. Use that information to rebuild your application and confidently reapply; be sure not to come off as desperate. Your second approach should correct any misjudgements made concerning you. VOs are human beings and human beings are influenced by their personal experiences and such. Your second application will most certainly be reviewed by a different person and if you do your diligence you have a chance at getting your visa.

Nice write-up. The only problem i have is that most of your statements are categorical, one will think you are a Visa Officer. There are somethings we aren't sure about cos we aren't Visa officers e.g Online is obviously faster, your other application will most certainly be reviewed by a different person
Also, i think if you are a married man without kids and your wife has a job, she shouldn't be referred to as a dependent.
Statement of Purpose or Letter of explanation is not only for course mismatch or course related issues alone, people use it to explain finances and loads of other stuff.
Generally, you did good. Well done and thank you.

Thanks sir. I did not come up with the facts there myself. A former consular was my guide. Most are her words not mine.

brother please tell them. you would see people with inadequacies on their applications even with program and career mismatches and still those that think the can speak all the English in advanced oxford dictionary would still come on here to encourage them to Put a FANTASTIC sop. Fantastic my foot! ask those wey don put ''the fantastic'' when there are lapses in the reasonable light of ''acts and regulations of IRCC and a VO acting on discretion'' If they have got visas? SOP can't do anything if the application itself is generally not convincing. A certain paragraph of 4-5 lines can easily pass on a message to a VO of your purpose of study if every other things are in reasonable light. so many have received refusals recently but can't come on here to say it than be behind the thread reading silently/observing or making an exit to other study threads.

Hello guys,

Not to sound too blunt or insensitive. This is for those who ask information about which school to apply to and how to start admission process.

STEPS

1) Your first task is to use google or other search engine to search for universities or colleges.

2) Check if they have the programme you need or want to study.

3) Compare and contrast schools and programmes, check fees and other things.

4) Contact the admissions or programme offices, explain what you want and ask questions, they would be able to give you a better answer.

5) Then if you need opinions from people with past experiences, you can come to the forum with these sets of new information you have gathered and ask for opinions.

6) If satisfied, apply, Else, go to step one.

7) If you get an offer, go to 8.

8 ) Gather your documents depending on your situation.

9) Apply for permit.

10) Pray for approval.

11) If approved, congratulations, Else re-strategize and go to 8.


The above steps are basically the steps required for admission and permit application.

PS:

I had to make this post so that the silent readers and new comers will know the general steps required especially for admission. Please do your homework first, then come here to ask for opinions or advice.

Warm Regards.
