yea my sponsor is ready to pay for that... he already has the idea what it will cost getting me to school over there...what if at the end the embassy didn't grant me visa which am not praying for, what will happen to the tuition fees I paid...and what could lead to visa denial after you must have made all the necessary payment...cause my sponsor said one is still not sure getting the visa after making all the whole payment. thanks much for your response I really appreciate cause you have really tried clearing me on this.

If visa is not issued, you are gonna get a refund of your money back, rest assured.

If you want a real experience, and a quick way into the labour market in Canada, you most likely will need a focused discipline like a Post Graduate Diploma/Advanced Diploma. Doing a M.A.Sc., M.Eng or Ph.D. here will most likely be more favourable to already working professionals who want to head departments and/or those who want to go into academia. The only exception is if your graduate study is focused on an innovative field, (E.g Aerospace, IT, Nano technology, Material Science)

It will never give you the job ready skills you need. It is mostly research inclined, and in reality, with over the millions of published research journals in Elsevier etc, industries never really get to implement majority.

Canada needs professionals with skills not degrees, this is my observation staying here for close to a year. I know so many Masters and Ph.D. students on their Post-Graduation work permit working in stores, but I do no know anyone who went to obtain a diploma in an innovative career path like IT, Power Technology, Software Development working in a menial job and/or non career related.

I will like to let you know that now, most companies in Canada take Co-op students who already have have certain skills that they can transfer, and are not necessarily looking for Co-op students to train; this is the bitter truth. So many don't get Co-op because they have no transferable industrial skill. (This tells you that industries want what you can offer)

Please and please, if you don't have work experience, are not coming in for an innovative research, and don't want a career in academia, don't be caught up in the Graduate Study thingy.

Invest in your self, and the best way is through Skills.

I wish I knew this earlier, I want this to be an eye opener for everyone coming here.

however, Cana Immi.. will most likely approve visas for the Degrees/Msc/MBA and the likes..... the idea is that you want to further your education and return to apply the knowledge in your home country.

Hello boss,

The assertion in green above is not necessarily true. It is entirely dependent on the individual.

The assertion in red is not necessarily true. Though, a masters or phd education is rigorous but it helps you prepare (just like every other degree) for what is out there in terms of job skill within your area of expertise and should you need to digress you are also prepared.

The assertion in blue is true to some extent. But there are jobs where your degrees open the way before your skill sets come to play.

The assertion in purple totally depends on individual goals and objectives. The truth is the fact that they work there now, doesn't mean that is where they plan to stay forever. There is an immediate reason to that.

The assertion in brown is not really the best advice... But your last sentence is.

Investing in oneself whether you have a degree or not is always the best case.

In summary, it really depends on individual goals and objectives.... Like they always say, it is not how far but how well. However, your points are noted.

Peace...

I just got admission into PGD HRM at New Brunswick Community College Fall 2018.
I am a graduate with not less than 4 years experience in HR and am married (no kid).
I am trying to gather all necessary documents against firing my application early next year.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of using a company as your sponsor? (Total Tuition fee is 8450CAD).
How many pages maximum should LOE/SOP be?

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by IloveCanada: 6:52pm On Nov 02, 2017
@ Mazuide this will be my last post on this, I understand you very well but I am posting this to help you understand the intricacies of my point.

Vacancies in Canada hardly request for qualifications more than a Bachelors Degree and when they do, they require some years of experience.

The Economy in Canada now is not at its very best so there are few opportunities for fresh Men.

They need people who can deliver straight away.

Engineer in Training Positions are very scarce now in Canada now, I personally know so many EITs finding it hard to launch their Careers. I am an Engineering Grad. student so I am using this as a case study.

An average Nigerian left Nigeria to come to a Country where they can work,(ALMOST IMMEDIATELY) as opportunities are tight back home.

Canada is not like Nigeria where you can keep chilling and staying motivated while waiting for your dreams to materialize. The cost of living here is very high and it will be best to know your next line of action even before you leave school.

You have a lot of bills to pay, you will most likely try to pick any job after school so that you can survive. The truth is when you start working in the anyhow job while hoping to break through in your career, someone who was able to break in immediately is already 100times more Marketable than you.


After studying the way this systems works, I discovered this:

You can have a great career here with even a high school certificate, you just need to be excellent in a defined career path to have a successful career. You also have to understand what each career path presents you with.

Graduate studies prepares you for a career path in Research, Academia and Management. There are lots of opportunities for this Career Path in Canada, but the opportunities want EXPERIENCED PEOPLE not FRESH PEOPLE.

You as a (FRESH GRADUATE) will not have the best experience after Graduate School if you never had any work experience or transferable skills other than that which the Graduate School Presented you with (QUOTE ME ON THIS)


The best transferable skill that graduate study will provide you with is critical thinking, at best, if you really worked hard, you will be a great critical thinker which is a good.


Industries on the other hand appreciates you for being a critical thinker, but needs those who were trained on getting the job done to match their needs. This job ready skills are not obtained in graduate study.


I will end with this: Mr. A went to pursue a Masters Degree in Oil Refining Technology, without ever working in a Refinery in his life.
He will understand the basis behind refinery operations and how to improve processes which is very good, but he has not idea on real operating conditions, at best, he has predicted this via simulations on steady state and dynamic scenarios.

On the other hand, Mr. B learnt hands-on applied Refinery Operations in College, and must complete required hands-on hours in a Refinery which is mostly a requirement for his graduation, and registration to his professional body.

Who will get job faster??

Mr. B will get the job faster, then go later and do a part-time Masters so that he can be Manager.

Mr. A after will be waiting solely for Engineering in Training Positions to Launch his career.

In Nigeria, those that will handle Dangote's Refinery are in India receiving Hands-On Training and the good news is they are graduates. Dangote knows that it will be a waste of resources if he waits for the Refinery to start operating, then bring in fresh graduates.

This is a Nigerian Entrepreneur that has modelled how the Developed Economy works.

It is all about SKILLS, SKILLS, SKILLS.



Trust me in Canada you need to plug into your career as fast as possible.

Canada's Industrial Labour Market is strictly focused on (Soft-Skills and Hands-On Skills).

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nogen: 7:28pm On Nov 02, 2017
@Ilovecanada, many people who applied for masters and PhD programmes did that because they were not originally planning to work in Canada but to acquire knowledge which would be helpful in their home country. Deciding to stay back after one's studies is another thing altogether. That is secondary .

This is really spot on.

I am in my advanced diploma program in construction.

I was on coop as a student and was earning 18dollars an hour.

I have master's graduate that are earning 15 dollars with a job that doesn't test their academic qualifications.

I have graduates that are earning 13dollars an hour just to stay afloat

So it is good to have academic progression but if canada is your dream country and you want to work here and start a career you do not need a Masters degree.

Hi guys. I applied online for my Canada TRV, did all the payments online. My visiting visa was approved yesterday and I was asked to send my passport.

My question. How do I go about sending my passport.

Can I send it to the embassy myself or must it be through VAC? VAC is charging extra $50 for transmission fee.

Thanks
