Good day
Please I gained admission for a master's degree program at the University of Manitoba since May 2017. But the company sponsoring is an Indian one and has refused to tender it's bank statement rather they are ready to pay my all my schooling and leaving expenses for one year. The problem now is that they just paid this October 2017 and I just want to apply. I don't have much in my bank account although the department gave a scholarship of 1500 CAD. I am expected to resume school by January. Do you think November and December is enough weeks to be granted a visa? Below are the only documents I have
Original acceptance letter
Visa forms
International passport
Receipts of one year payment for school fees, accommodation and living expenses
Personal account statement which has less than 100k
Plus letter of explanation.

You have your future in your HANDS. And why not Google all you need to submit your form on time and if your coy statement of account is highly important let the embassy know in a letter that due to your coy policy the statement can not be released, but school fees had been paid by your company, back it up wth a letter from your office. . wth evidences.I believe they can confirm from your company. Please also get an imigration lawyer to help you out.

Do not miss this chance. GOODLUCK.

Hello house, I have shit loads of useless questions to ask because this thread is way to many for me to go through and I will appreciate a honest answer and help. Please DONT YAB me, am just a learner.
1. Can I still make it to Canada for the January study if I start my application now.
2. Which school can I apply to with low tuition with about 90% chance of admission for masters in Comp Sci because I grad with 2.2.
3. Do I need TOEFL etc and GRE to apply for MSc. Comp Science?

Hello Bro,

This your post, na wa o. lipsrsealed The purpose of this thread is to assist and encourage others not to mock them. Words are interpreted in different ways. Some people with low CGPA can see this your post and start feeling bad about themselves.

It is not everybody that will graduate with a First Class Honours. This is the reason why we have different classification of degrees. Each person's intellectual capacity is different.

Moreover, getting admission is a lot more than just having a high CGPA. An applicant's CGPA is only an aspect of the admission application process.

I hope you understand the point that I'm trying to make. I wish you the best! smiley

Please oh my people, I need everyone's opinion & assistance on this below. Please dnt ignore if u know the answers please

1. For example: I have a year masters, is it possible I change it to 2yrs & also change course if issued TRV, will it be done here after approval or when I fly to Canny, just want to know.

2. And is their no other faster way of getting PR/Citizenship if not tru this study upon study thing, hence application for PGWP & the rest. please anyone with answers should come to my rescue abeg.

Thanks, as I await your kind response.

One other sure way is to marry someone in canny land and let her sponsor you as a family member to join her.

OR

Marry a Nigerian lady with brains ready to study upon study I.e. your nairaland target if her number rings by chance, finance her and apply for open work permit with her study permit.

Just my opinion based on your interest on ....

Yes you can change your course even your DLI but I doubt if you can systematically convert a year TRV to a two year TRV except if you switch to a two year program which will help you secure your 3 years PGWP.

I couldn't agree more and well said. However, I differ in one way that Canada makes visa decisions on who is more likely to contribute to Canada. I highly doubt this is part of the calculus that goes into such decision making in approving a visa. Quite to the contrary, the visa laws requires them to treat everyone as a potential immigrant, except proven otherwise. Meaning to exclude everyone regardless of skills set, with the slightest ideas of wanting to come to their country and stay. I think this why you see so much denial including fully funded prospective students. The calculus of who is likely to contribute most to Canada in determining approving decisions on who comes to Canada, the burden of law permits, is the EE route.

I think you misunderstand my comment. I am not saying that visa decisions are primarily driven by who is more likely to contribute to Canada, my argument is that being a well put-together applicant increases the chances of getting the visa. VOs are humans and are less likely to give a visa to an applicant with a shoddy application, even if the applicant technically meets all the requirements. Don't forget that while VOs should follow Canadian immigration law, the government gives them significant latitude and discretion on these decisions.

jnyuwa02:
Ps: your friend who answered that he doesn't know whether he is coming back and the visa office approved him nonetheless, I think visa officers respect honesty and have a knack for seeing it in one's application and statement of explanation. If I were a visa officer, I would approve the guy too. Apparently he came back to Nigeria and applied to go back again. On Nigerian ground. That is coming back and reason leads me to believe such people are the most likely to come back. People who will never come back don't come back like that to Nigeria on expired visa. His action came off as not desperate.
I agree that VOs respect honesty. But then people get denied after having returned home to get a visa, so I don't think it's as cut-and dried as you say.

jnyuwa02:
Plus just to add from my experience, Nigeria is the best place to come back and enjoy your hard earned foreign money. You will be highly respected here. In foreign land, not so much. Nobody gives a damn about you. You are on your own.
Many would disagree with you on this point. In Silicon Valley, it is primarily foreigners that are driving the cutting edge of technology. And they are highly respected. Think Satya Nadella. Think Elon Musk. Think Sundar Pichai. I have Nigerian friends in top roles in Silicon Valley and are highly respected. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you see Nigeria with rose-colored glasses because you are visiting, and haven't lived the experiences of most young Nigerian graduates who are mostly unable to get jobs, and also don't have foreign experience as you have. I am not asking to be pessimistic about Nigeria, I'm just a realist.

I think there are opportunities in Nigeria and there are people doing well in Nigeria, but that doesn't undermine the reality of things. Edited: Where I agree with you is that in Nigeria, we respect people with money even if said people plundered society to get said money. In more developed societies, people are respected [mostly] based on contributions to society. I don't think it is a thing to be proud of that Nigeria respects people with money even if the source of the money is unclear. Having money, by itself, shouldn't be a reason to be respected.

Is the 3 years PGWP not obtainable with a masters program lasting one yr? I have been trying to find a school but I've been giving more preference to schools with a yr masters ,make I finish fast start life grin but seeing your post I'm now confused.

No. The one year masters will give u 1 year PGWP. Except if the masters is 18 months, you might get 3 years with the hope it can be considered 2 years MSC.

Emmmm, while i would have loved to help you out with whatsoever it is privately , i like to consider others that may be in your situation or dealing with same issue. I suggest you spill it here so that aside myself, you can get different opinion or suggestions from others about it and so everybody can benefit from the various point views. This is what we usually encourage here bro.

Notwithstanding, if it's to review a statement of purpose, i'll gladly help out.

Oh no! I was only joking. I wasn't serious about it. Honestly it was just a joke and I really wasn't mocking anyone.

To all those with low CGPA, I was not serious when I said that post. Besides, there's no gain in laughing at anyone or mocking anyone. For that, I am sorry. I am deeply sorry.

Can the switch be done halfway in the initial stages of the 1yr program, say 2/3months after been enrolled, or immediately after approval/landing.

It can be done anytime especially upon arrival after getting your study permit. So securing admission into another program that is longer will help a lot even if you have to switch DLI. You just have to notify CIC once this happens knowing your first institution will update them of your absence from school.

It is fine. You just have to note that she has to be registered in school and you will probably wait months give and take 8-12 months to process your own open work permit. Family sponsorship is your route here.
