Some of this values are not so accurate , might be fee for home student but not for international student

No 1 missing almost 3,000 for international
No 5 is almost triple that for international
No 10 missing about 1,000

And those were the only three i checked but thanks for listing it as it can serve as a guide

Well, tuition for some courses are extraordinarily high and I agree. The onus is on applicants to get the factual figures.

Below are MUN and Saskatchewan tuition.....at least for the course i intend applying to cheesy cheesy

Well Well Well

The thread is finally moving as many fall 2018 admission contenders and pretenders are coming out of hiding. Nice smiley smiley

If you're just starting you hustling for admission against fall 2018 you may need to move FAST so as not to get left out of the party.

Last time I checked, below are how Universities in Canada Ranked.

1. University of Toronto
2. McGill University
3. University of British Colombia
4. University of Alberta
5. Universite de Montreal
6. Mc Master University
7. University of Waterloo
8. Western University
9. University of Calgary
10. Queens University
11. Simon Fraser University
12. Dalhousie University
13. University of Ottawa
14. University of Victoria
15. Laval University
16. Concordia University
17. York University
18. University of Saskatchewan
19. University of Guelph
20. Universite du Quebec

Choose wisely and intelligently. Canadian universities are attracting attention from everywhere. It'd surprise you the 20th placed school will bounce your "strong 2.1" if you don't do your homework.

It's funny how you can easily gain admission to a UK university (possibly ranked in the top 200 in the world) and get bounced by an "unranked" (outside the top 1000 universities in the world) school in Canada. I won't laugh because it's not funny sad

Like GlitteringStar advised already, spread your risk, apply to one or two top-ranked schools, one or two medium-ranked schools and two safe schools (low-ranked schools). This is to increase your chances of getting "funding" too. Admission plus funding is the real deal. wink

For students (like me) that just want that admission irrespective of funding, well you may want to consider the schools below.

1. Memorial University of Newfoundland (Tuition ~ $5,800CAD)
2. Simon Fraser (~$6,000CAD)
3. University of Alberta (~$10,000CAD)
4. University of Calgary (~$17,000CAD)
5. University of Saskatchewan (~$5,800CAD)
6. University of Manitoba (~$12,000CAD for the two years)
7. University of Victoria (~$5,428CAD)
8. University of New Brunswick (~$10,000CAD)
9. York University (~$14,000CAD)
10. University of Regina (~$10,000CAD)


PS: The above figures are not fact but a result of my extensive search.......so please, refer to the school website for exact figures before you pay application fee for a school you can't afford tuition.

I am in the race like ya'll are, so please reduce the DM cheesy I don't know anything. I hope we get that much needed admission and VISA.

Its been a while baba. wink At bolded, are these tuition quotes meant for Msc or Bsc alike? Please, I need to confirm because most of these schools quote higher than all these on their respective websites. embarassed

Looking forward to your amazing response.

Regards.

You are applying to two great schools, one a first tier the other a second tier. It looks like you are going to get into Waterloo the second tier school if the supervisor said already that he will fund your studies. But do not attach too much faith in it as no one professor enjoys such monopoly in making admission decision. What this simply means is that he probably sits on the admission committee and going to put in the good words for you when the committee meets to makes it funding and admission decision. It's possible you get it, it's possible you don't. I know a person on this forum who was promised funding by a supervisor only at the end of the day, for the professor to recant his promise. But with a first class, sounds to me that you are more likely than not not to get into Waterloo. Makes sure you write strong statement of intent and research proposal.

Concerning Toronto, it is first tier school, probably one of the most competitive place to get into in Canada. It and McGill. You might also want to look at McGill. If you can only afford to pay application fees to only two schools, McGill has a waiver of the application fee. But only after you have paid it first. Lol. You can request a waiver of the application fee that you have paid at McGill based on financial hardship.

Lastly, don't apply only to first tier schools. They see many first class applicant and turn them away. You can distinguish yourself among top applicants by what you have to say about yourself. Your statement of intent and strength of your research proposal defines winners among an equally qualified applicant pool. That is what the professor at Toronto meant by his decision would be based on several things. I am not too positive that you can get into Toronto as I do that you can get into Waterloo. So the need to spread your tentacles and look more.

My advice is to keep emailing professors at second tier schools. University of Calgary, University of Ottawa, etc. Burrow more money if you can to pay application fees to two other places. Don't put all eggs in one basket just to be safe at the end of the day. Better to be safe than sorry. I wish you the best.

Seconded.

Good morning wonderful people.

Pls B+ in Canadian school is equivalent to which grade point in Nigeria?

Let's say 80% because 81- 85 grade is B+ for most courses.

However, for admission purpose, some schools would calculate the percentage requirement using the key on your transcript. that is, if your transcript says their grading system is over 5, they will divide your GPA by the one of your school and multiply it by 100.

Below is an example of a course grading system.

Grading system
96-100 A+ 77-80 B 59-61 C-
90-95 A 71-76 B- 55-58 D+
86-89 A- 65-70 C+ 50-54 D
81-85 B+ 62-64 C 0-49 F

1. is it possible to be offered a full scholarship in a top ranked university ??

2) What are the criteria
3) Is there any disadvantage to it ??

Thanks for answers

1. Yes, but you will need an excellent profile to get it.

2. Varies. You will need to explore the questions and answers on the internet. Start by using google to find answer to "scholarships in canada".

3. Most not. However, some require you to return to your home country, some would aid your stay in Canada, and others does not have any conditional attachment.

Final note, you will need to read a lot on it yourself.

Good evening all,
I need a Critical Evaluation of my case. All, any contribution that will help me repackage is welcome. Please if possible, take it personal. I have ordered GCMS notes though.

I applied for a study permit in July to pursue MBA. I have 9 yrs banking experience, married with 2kids. I submitted the following documents:
-Payslips
-Employment letter
-Promotion letter
-HR reference
-Personal Statement of account with about 12M
-Tuition deposit $20cad
-Pension statement -closing balance - N9.4m
-Spouse SOA
-Spouse sponsorship letter
-Car documents
-Family birth certificates
-Transcript
-Degree certificate
-Waec
-Marriage cert
-Passport stamped pages
-SOP

I was delayed with the following reasons:

After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

The course you applying for and what you had to say in your SOP were the culprit. Otherwise your stats were more than impressive to secure a TRV based on the stipulated reasons for delay. Care to enlighten the house on what kind of MBA this is and what you said in your SOP? Why cant you study MBA in Nigeria and decided on a long, arduous and expensive journey to Canada? Think like a VO.

The documents you have submitted with your application will be used to determine if your Visa application is refused or approved. Only in rare cases will you be invited for an interview for the visa application, unlike the USA visa application, where interview is necessary.

Collected how? Processing time for study visa of Canada is 19 weeks, that is if you're applying from Nigeria.
