so what do you think I do. Kindly share ideas

About what? Pls be specific

Taymiia7:
Hii Osemigho. I'm moving to Calgary next month with my husband. (Express entry). Pls i don't mind tips for accommodation. I'll pm you so we can chat better. Thank you.

Go to the express entry room and ask tell them this. There’s a group for landing immigrants. You will receive more support there.

Osemigho:


Once you submit your student visa application, go and read express entry immediately.

Advance diploma visa chances are slim but Permanent residency visa with HND is very high if you’re young and single or married and your spouse educated. I also want to believe you have at least one year experience since you must have served as a Nigerian.

Go and join the express entry room. Your chances and opportunities are higher there.

i appreciate your response but going through the express entry requirement i do not have proof of language test.

Newman1010:


If you have up to 2 years work experience, apply for PR when you get your MSC through Express Entry . You have a good profile (age, bsc, MSc). All you will be needing is a good score in IELTS and you’re in Canada as a PR. Going for your PHD should be easier from there.

Many won’t understand the value of your advise for him. He might not himself too.

But for those that care, Canada election is happening next year with no guarantee that Trudeau will be re-elected. Trudeau’s government is the one that is making express entry and immigration easier “every secs”.

If there’s change in government, there would likely be change in immigration policy. Let those that have ears listen to this.

If you by any chance want to stay in Canada after study, go and read about express entry.

Don’t lie in your app. Whatever documents/job you say you don’t have now, you cannot claim it later.

So, if you don’t show BSc or masters now, you can’t enter and say you want to use it. You will have to wait. Else, you risk the implication of being caught e.g. deportation and or ban.


I drop my pen.

That’s not an excuse. Go and get it. Pay for the exam, Prepare very well for it, and ace it.

Everyone that started express entry doesn’t usually have it before starting it. I didn’t have proof of English until August last year. So, that’s your least problem if you can prepare well for it.

I don’t think there is any school in Canada where by virtues of been admitted, scholarship is guaranteed. And securing supervisor too doesn’t guarantee admission either. Every candidate in such schools has to secure supervisor and it’s from that pool admission decision is made. If he had to make a choice between the two, the first one is clearly the better one to put his money on.

It seems you didnt read him or you just want to quote me wrongly.

He said he had already SECURED a supervisor in the second option. I didnt say that securing a supervisor means admission is guarranteed. I said he has already secured 50% chance, which is true. Many applicants (thesis-based) even here on this nairaland that were denied offer because no supervisor accepted them.

You're wrong again. Some schools in Canada would tell you that funding is available (just like his first option). If you've a high CGPA & good SOP, offer will be made and funding given. You dont need to apply for funding separately. Some schools would tell you that there is NO funding (his second option) no matter your grade or SOP.

God bless all Nairalanders. Pls I need ur advice.
I am 33, working. My brother wants to sponsor me for study permit for Masters program using his company (ltd) of which I am one of the directors.
My question is:
What is the best way to introduce me to the visa officer? As a director, backed with board resolution OR As a brother since he is d only signatory to the account?

Is there anyone for to centennial college fall (sept)session

Is there anyone in the University of Northern British Columbia..or anyone going there??

Long story short, the first option is by far the best! I won’t get into the minutia again, he should choose that!! Everyone that commented obviously sees that differences between both are like night and day!! Schools that don’t require supervisors have a liberal policy. One might stand to gain admission and other benefits there as a result of such liberalism than ones with stipulations that one obtain a supervisor first and then they have no funding. Shhh!!

thanks JJJV.... pls kindly assist me m applying for a study permit do i still need to fill d questionnaire??
I graduated 2015 nysc 2016 currently unemployed.how do i go abt my employment history for d past 10years /can i fill in NA?

Why not take out time to read the cic website. If you want to go on such an adventure the least you could do is read.
It is clear a lot of us just want to be spoon fed.
To your 2nd question it is better you say it as it is.
This is 2018 and you finished service in 2016 so why are you talking of 10 years work experience.

Osemigho!!!

I'm always happy to see your posts. I remember when I joined nairaland last year and was reading through the earlier threads.

This Osemigho guy had been rejected by all 3 Universities he applied to. He didn't give up. He tried again the next year, sent 50 or so emails to profs and finally got one at U of Calgary. For him, full scholarship was an absolute necessity because he wouldn't be able to afford the fees otherwise. He received a fully funded admission to Calgary, promptly applied for trv and needless to say, it was approved.

Now this ......

....,God has blessed you, and will continue to do so.

It shall end in praise for us all.

Thanks. I appreciate this.

Resilience is important. To those that were not able to get admission, you have to try again.

Canada masters admission is becoming more and more competitive with limited space for international student. So, if your GPA is lower, add US schools as a back up.

No matter what, you will still get a good education and can immigrate to Canada after US study. If God 1 to bless you self, their Oga will do as he promise and he would scrap Visa lottery for immigration like Canada. Then we go show am say we are overqualified and not shitty.

Hi bro,

You are one of the persons that inspired me. Thanks.
A quick one for you, one of the conditions on my funding is that, i have a valid study permit during the duration of my studies, if i decide to apply for the express entry and i get it, what happens to my funding?

Or is it possible to keep the PR and complete one's study with the study permit?

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I really appreciate everyones effort in helping others with valuable information in this forum.

Im planning to study in Canada next sept 2019. Im 26 yrs old, single and currently hold a diploma in accounting which i just obtained this year after 6 years gap. Im self sponsored but will also be using my mothers bank n land certificate to support my application.What are my chances of securing a visa to study advanced diploma in Canada.

Thanks in advance

Osemigho:

Lol@bolded. Na only God fit reward you oooo. Thanks.

It is better to go for a PHD but big problem is your grades of 2.2 is what I am reading from your quote. Switching to a masters as you seem to imply comes with complications, as the VO might deny you a visa, questioning your purpose of study because of a lack of progression. A student who has already earned a masters degree going for a second masters degree is one of the ways VOs use to determine who is a genuine student from who is simply using the student visa route as a means of facilitating entry to Canada. You might want to try to explain why a second masters is necessary, but that is Herculean task to succeed with. It is not impossible however. With a 2.2 it is almost impossible to get into a PHD program. Never seen it. The cards are stacked against you in every corner except your masters GPA is very strong, then there is hope.

thanks for your response however what exactly do you suggest, tell me exactly what you think I can do, pls tell me steps n how to go about them. Thank n God bless

Don’t lie in your app. Whatever documents/job you say you don’t have now, you cannot claim it later.

So, if you don’t show BSc or masters now, you can’t enter and say you want to use it. You will have to wait. Else, you risk the implication of being caught e.g. deportation and or ban.


I drop my pen.

Elder Osemigho, I sincerely appreciate his advise, likewise grateful to your comments.
Sir, can I start my express entry now, note I'm not yet done with my MSc but my certificate or statement of result should be ready by end f d year
Pls what do u mean by this " .

When is the best time to write IELTS and when is the best time start the express entry application, the fear of Trudeau defeat although election is still OCTOBER 21,2019.?


.sir thank you and God bless you for your selfless service, once again remain blessed

OMG! So embarrassed, I didn't see this. No, I wasn't asked.
Buses are faster and departure is more flexible. Besides, the roads are nice. Mostly.

Hello,

I would like to ask two questions. I would appreciate your response.

Were you asked to show your sponsor's statement of account and your personal statement of account?

About your comment on Air Canada, Do you mean its not save to board during this winter period?

Thanks.

1. Make Google your best friend. Search for “universities in CAnada.” They are not much, less than 40. You can afford to read through every school requirements and application process. Concentrate on reading about the academic department you are interested in and their policies for admission.

2. Make sure your masters is completed with a strong GPA. This will offset your poor undergraduate record.

3. Apply for a PHD program, not a second masters that is a Herculean case to make before a VO that you are a genuine student.

4. Many schools in Canada have full funding or one form of funding or the other for PHD graduate students with strong grades and excellent research skills. Take advantage of it!!

5. Look for alternative funding in Nigeria like the PTDF scholarships which awards aid to PHD candidates. Just Incase you get admission and no funding from Canadian schools. You can also pay for yourself if you have the money or someone is willing to sponsor you!!

6. If you follow these steps, you will be well positioned to win a visa.

You have not seen your elder o. lol.

If you calculate your score and realize you have great chances, the best time to write ielts is 1 month to the time you are expecting your certificate evaluation result. I suggest that because I expect you to practice well.

I started my certificate evaluation in April, did ielts in August, invitation and submission in September, and PR November. So, you need to calaculate and strategize.

Before your ielts, you should also be working on getting the required funds as well. Above all, pray for favour But don’t deceive yourself and be praying alone.

Hello Good morning fam, ...Please I need urgent help I want to use my moms sister in my application because I’ve been. Refused twice .!!!!.....How can I show she’s a true sponsor and show she’s ready to sponsor my education in Canada !

I want to scan some pictures, print and include them as evidence in my study app.

Is this allowed? Thanks

Encapsulate them into strategic positions in your word document SOP and use them to tell your story!! Just scanning and printing pictures and submitting along with your application, will be rejected.

I meant ur friend (Sponsor) needs to do his homework(not you) to convince the Vo that he is very capable to sponsor you since he isnt a Father, Mother, Uncle or a close relation that most peeps use as sponsors. He will need to show financial documents(You can go through previous threads for that part 11, 12, 13). 2. When u said Diploma, do u mean PGD? If yes, then u have a chance. Having an HND and going for a PGD course shows progression so far the course u studied is in line with what u are planning of studying. Good luck
