To the best of my knowledge, you cannot apply for admission at Fanshawe college without using any of their Nigerian agents. I would be resuming in September at the college and the school gave me a list of all the agents that works for them, please contact them to give you the lis ( I have the list but it may be against the rules here to post it).

All the agency will do is to get admission for you and you will apply for visa YOURSELF (Do not pay agent to help you with your visa process. All the information you need is here on Nairaland). That’s what i did.

Finally, Fanshawe college has one of the fastest admission process (infact you will get admission within 5 days). For January admission, you are even too early but it is better you get the admission NOW so you can take your time to process your visa which could take about 3 months.

God be with you bro and I hope to see you in Canada.

Hi bro,

I am interested in seeing this list.

Hello house, I have a BSc in biochemistry and intend going for masters in public health in Canada at University of Manitoba or Simon Fraser University, but when i checked the requirements for doing MPH in Manitoba, they indicated that I have to have a minimum of 3 years paid work experience in public health field and I don't have any, just a fresh graduate currently working as a sales representative . Am I eligible to continue processing my application? Or better still I should look for another school.? wat other universities in Canada can I also apply to for an mph degree? Your advise would be highly appreciated, Thank You!

This is well articulated and truer than true...kudos boss

kpizzle:
Thanks @COPR and@jnyuwa02 and every other gurus in the house. Your views on the issue on SOP have prompted me to share my thoughts openly. I have been following this topic since March/April and I have seen many approval and refusal (including mine) and this has shape my view about the whole process.

There is this general believe that we cannot second guess the VO and they take their decisions based on impulse. I am not sure about this assumption, the VOs are professionals and they cannot be playing "Russia roulette" or throwing dices to take their decisions. As someone with several years of working experience in a professional environment, there will sure be standard operational procedure or guideline they follow when taking their decisions.

Students that finished with first class and are given full or partial scholarship are almost 90% or more to granted visa. This is no brainer because the VO wants to filter out the talents from other countries and support Canada to get the cream de la cream of the brains around the world. I have seen such people unnecessarily panicking on this forum and giving themselves unwarranted high blood pressure.

Also, people with “good” sponsor in term of cash only need to show proper ties to the sponsor via their relationship. The VO clearly needs to be comfortable that when one get into their country they will not become nuisance and start hustling on the street of Canada. They need to be sure someone will not get struck and desperate in their country. Instead it is more like a FDI (foreign direct investment) into their country.

This issue of family ties is the most confessing for me and this is my own thinking about it. The VO definitely knows that if someone is married with or without children, the person will want to bring their spouse and children to Canada too and it is could serve as a means of relocating. Landed properties belonging to the applicant can be sold at any time and cannot be a stumbling block to relocate. For me, I think home ties are favorable if ones family/spouse or the applicant has a company to return to or some establishment has guaranteed a job offer or the Dad or Mom has properties willed or transfers to the applicant.

As for me, part of the reason I was refused was based on poor academic record which was weird. Although I had a 2’1 but I was able to get admission into a top school, University of Waterloo. My argument was that “wetin concern VO with academic qualification, no be the school suppose check that one” but hey, we need to understand the Mordi of operadi of the VOs. They see themselves as a gate to Canada and they have to make sure they get the best into their country. They logical analyses all scenarios to decide on the visa via their “checklist”. They have seen all sort of people from those that get to Canada and don’t even attend school to those that could not cope with the rigor of academic and also those that decided to ship all their families into Canada immediately. They are just trying to protect their country from being “invaded” by someone who was able to “con” their schools to get admission.

I want to conclude with this note that we cannot continue with the narrative that we don’t know how the VO takes their decision. From all the shared approval and refusal we can have a better idea of what is going on. For those of my brothers and sisters who are in my shoes, maybe you are self-sponsored or has a weak sponsor and maybe you don’t have a first class with no offer of scholarship and maybe one is going for PGD, please don’t just give up. Keep fighting on, pour you heart into those SOP/LOE and pray that the God lord will Favour you.

Errm.. I applied to Fanshawe on my own, didn't use any agent and the school didn't refer me to any agent. Although that was late last year, maybe things have changed now!!.

Hi bro,

Bro... just email the school directly at least in that way, you will know you got it directly from the school and not from me. The email address is in the image attached below.

I speak Of this year (September admission). If you even try and apply on your own NOW, you will see it where it says international students should apply via agent.

good day,
please, does anyone has information on spring 2019 graduate admissions?

itsmeurLady:

I did a bsc biochem and MSC public health but wasn't in Canada, it was somewhere in Europe

Bro, I also have a Fall admission and waiting for visa. EMAIL their africa office IntAfrica@fanshawec.ca, I believe Faduma Green is the new representative.

I just sent you a pm, kindly send the list of the agents to me. I hope they don't charge much.

I know they are different but are both public health. Don't you think its better to continue in the lines of biochem or something closely related

Please how much is visa fees now at Lagos Vfs. I’m submitting on the 27th

ngunaniveren:
Hello gurus in the house,
I received my passport and the reasons for the denial of study visa today.

Reason are based on the following:
1. Family ties in Canada and country of residence.
2. Purpose of visit
3. Personal assets and financial status

My questions are these:
1. I am single, without a child in Nigeria and don't know any one in Canada. How do I address the concern of family ties?
2. My sponsor is not a relation who lives abroad and despite sending a letter of sponsorship and prove of finances abroad (i.e Bank statements, tax clearance, and pay slips), it is not enough. How do I address personal assets and financial status issue?
3. I included my admission letter during visa application, though no fees was paid because it was not required by the school at the time of application. How do I address the issue of purpose of visit?

Please, I need your assistance.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

ngunaniveren,

Sorry for the outcome of your application, use the below link to see reasons behind your refusal.

Also, use this authorized link by the moderator of this thread to order for your GCMS notes.

Most universities in Canada offering MPH want experience and they mean it. Were You to apply without work experience, you won’t get in as you would be missing a key requirement. University of Alberta is probably one of the only universities in Canada that I know recommends applicants to have work experience, but that is not a requirement and you could be accepted without public health work experience. Try there. Best of luck!!

Hey guys, so I'm new here.
I just spoke to one agent concerning postgraduate admissions in Canada. Told him I had a 2:1 in public health and would like to further into any health related course there. He said health sciences in Canada is very hard to get o. And because my gp is low (3.84) I might not be able to get admission like dat. Abeg, make una help me reason am, is he speaking the truth or should I just consider oda countries

im thinkin so too but i am trying to dodge the research part, most of them are research based and i feel the protocols are too long, what do u think？ im sort of inbetwee

jnyuwa02:

Bro can you be part of my own success story? I will like to send you my SOP for review

mightyola:
Bro, I also have a Fall admission and waiting for visa. EMAIL their africa office IntAfrica@fanshawec.ca, I believe Faduma Green is the new representative.

Thanks bro, we should link up. I would collect my visa this week by God’s grace (I speak by faith).

I am currently in Newcastle so I applied in London.

Wassup with Canada office though? It says 1 week processing time from the Uk for study permit but tomorrow makes it 2 weeks since I submitted (paper application) and still no response from them and my application status has not changed.

hotcakept2:
Has your visa been approved?

Yes (I speak by faith) and I will collect it this week. This is my second week since I submitted and it should normally be 1 week.

Tunajma:
I just sent you a pm, kindly send the list of the agents to me. I hope they don't charge much.

What course are you going for?

Bro I cannot send the list to you (so I am not accused of being an agent). Please contact the school directly so they can send the list to you. I am so sorry, I mean no offence. Course: logistics and supply chain management.

If you need help in any other area, I will definitely help you.

Fanshawe admission is so fast. You will be shocked I got admission July 3 (I applied for admission a week before via the school agent). I submitted my application to VFS London office July 10. I did my visa application myself based on tips I got from Nairaland.

mightyola:
Bro, I also have a Fall admission and waiting for visa. EMAIL their africa office IntAfrica@fanshawec.ca, I believe Faduma Green is the new representative.

Then we should link up bro.... I submitted 2 weeks ago. I did not apply in Nigeria.

Hope you have started packing bags, we will get it.
