Contact the Admissions team/staff of both schools, they are very responsive...Got admission to both in a short time... Ug or PG?

Thanks for your response sir. Yes, they are responsive and Brandon University tuition is quite low too. However, I read some negative reviews about the school and the town of Brandon. Don't know if those reviews are honestly written.

I just need suggestions from those that are in the school or city to give me full insight about things going on around there. To your question, I'm going for undergraduate programme.

Many thanks.

I guess the SOP exists for no reason and one should never make career changes just to go get a TRV to Canada? Fallacy. Thank God gave us the brains to think for ourselves and at the end of the day, everyone would have to go by their gut instincts, listen to the sound of their own voice, not the sound of the choir. I find that gut instinct has always worked for me. It's important to have a relationship with what you studied in the past, but have no fear of making changes in your career and explain it to a VO. It is God who is in control.

Good morning house. If I won't exaggerate, I think I have sent more than 200 emails to prospective supervisors. Only one of them recently gave me green light. He told me that he would be glad to supervise me if I got funding from Nigeria. He told me that he's expecting a graduate student from Nigeria, with Nigerian funding, for the forthcoming fall.
Gurus in the house, what funding is available for Nigerian student to study in Canada? I hold a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree with 87% GPA. Thank you for your anticipated contributions.

Bro stop with your bickering and ill-informed posts, you are talking about things you have no experience of. People you see giving advice here are not just dishing it out for the sake of creating a post, they do it because they have an idea of how it works or have been through same situation in the past.

The lady in question asked the house for recommendations and the house is helping her out by sharing thoughts with her, you Mr. Man didn't say anything until you saw others sharing their thoughts, then you went on tackling every post on the subject matter...

There's this aura of dissent that you exude whenever you make a contribution, you want to always rub it on people's face that you know better, come on stop with your attitude, this is Nigeria, you are no longer in the US , learn to keep quiet when you have no experience whatsoever on the subject matter, and learn to respect people because the gurus you see here today have been around for over 2 years now and will be around in more years to come, but I am certain that you won't even remember this thread by September this year should you get your visa approved

Be humble... sit down

Talk of humility and respect. Everyone is entitled to their opinions as far as I am concerned. It's Nigeria so I do not have a right to express my opinions? I do not know what I am saying? Lol. Time had spoken and will continue to speak.

The onus and burden of persuasion is on the applicant, nothing is impossible.

Talk of respect and humility in your post. Nuff said. This is the problem with Nigeria. What happened to freedom of speech and expression in this country? People can't express their ideas when it has repeatedly worked for them? I studied in the U.S. on full scholarship, all expenses paid, single handedly got my visa there. Now the same thing is happening for me in Canada for my graduate studies. Yet I know nothing and my ideas means nothing and I am not allowed to disagree with the so called gurus? Please continue to ignore me. I know some are listening and I will continue to dispense all I know and learn in the process too.

I find that gut instinct has always worked for me. Long before I read a word on this forum, I did fine and won for myself a full scholarship all expenses paid. On my way for a TRV now. I don't mean to denigrade the forum. It's important to bounce off ideas, but at the end of the day don't simply go by what you hear here, trust your instincts too. It's important to have a relationship with what you studied in the past, but by no means have no fear of making changes in your career and explain it to a VO. It is God who is in control.

abelajayi:
sorry pls when did you submit your application?.

CanadianNurse:
This seems to be too much weight on your ego bro
You only know about yourself, you don't know about others except they tell you!

Go and take a look at @smartlawyer profile, yet he passed through this forum nobody knew until the day he was approved and shared his profile

Studying on scholarship doesn't change the perception on Nigerian Applicant's.... It's just like coming into JFK on an airline from a drug-prone country whether you are a professor or a celebrity CBP can pull you up for secondary inspection on their own discretion...

IIf you did all the highlighted things single handedly, so what's the use of joining this thread to spoil thread for us that want to do it double-handedly

RealObserver:
There you go again bragging... if you can remember clearly your first post on this thread where you solicited for people's opinion about going to do your application in another country, people here gave you variety of ways to go about your application, now you are here bragging about doing it all yourself.

This thread has helped me in so much ways I cannot express by typing it, I asked just one question before I submitted my application and they gave me different insights on things, I saw the wide range of ideas they contributed I thanked everyone and I used my own discretion to go through the path I felt was more reasonable.

What am saying in essence is that you are free to contribute your opinion to the discuss but not at the expense of always discrediting other people's opinion, because in the end it's left to whomever asked the question choose what they think is best for them.

So young man I am not denying you your right to freedom of speech, but don't use that right to abuse someone else's.

This is the last I'll say regarding this issue, so it's best we all pull the kill switch at this junction.

Bro Imagine yourself as VO and you see and Applicant

Undergraduate - chemical engineering

Work experience- banking and finance

Graduate studies - human resource

Before you even start reading the so called Compelling SOP you already have an impression about the application

Economic migrants who pose as students won't clearly state it to you that they are not genuine students!
They try to fish out these things by themselves based on laid down rules and procedures which are discretional, logical and psychological and may differ from VO to VO


All we are advocating for is to err on the side of caution


Regards boss,

Hello house I linked my application online d final decision column is blank n the eligibility column say am not eligible ,I tracked at vfs website n found my passport was despatched on d 28 of last month..Am worried ,,I have no idea of the outcome

jnyuwa02:
I agree with you Boss concerning economic immigrants infiltration program run by most embassies[b]. But isn't the Nigerian system one which one who studied Hausa in the university can go on to become a bank manager?[/b] And while at this banking and financing thing, worked hand in hand with the human resources department to dish out payment and entitlement to employees? And in the process became interested in human resources because of the career advancement and upward mobility in it? I believe that is where an SOP comes into play and the burden of persuasion is on the applicant. Cheers.

Hello gurus in the house. Kindly help out with the calculation of my CGPA on a scale of 4. I obtained 4.16/5. It's very urgent, I need to state it in my letter of intent. God bless y'all.

You do not need the hard cover to apply. They must have sent the soft copy to you. Check your mail. If it's not there, check your account.
