EkpeEkpe:
Help a brother. I’m self sponsored. How much must I have in my account to stand a chance of getting a visa? Simon Fraser University is my target. Thanks

dubaiboy1:

Congrats .. please , did you apply from Nigeria ?

Josh1996:
Congratulations
God wey do your own go do our own...Amen!!

Naijaforeigner:
domex007 I am so happy for you. I feel like hugging you. God is faithful. Thanks for sharing this testimony.

You tried all these countries and never gave up? your determination is out of this world. Just imagine if you have killed yourself those years you were rejected because you thought that was the end?

I always say it, once you are alive, anything can still happen no matter the failures, delays and disappointment you have experienced. Once there is life, there is always hope.

congrats lummy11

Check out Conestoga college. I met a girl in school today who spent 1 year at Conestoga before moving over to Fanshawe. Her current fees at Fanshawe is about 2,500 dollars more than what she paid at Conestoga.

Also check New Brunswick community college you could end up saving about 3000 dollars.

Check colleges in Manitoba,( please make sure they offer PGWP eligible programs) you could end up saving up to 4,000 dollars if you dont mind staying in the cold.

All the best.

All the best

Stevenssen:

How do you know if a program is PGWP? I have been thinking of Fanshawe

fadasss:

Hi guys, thanks for sharing your experience with others, reading all these really helped me.

I applied online but did my biometrics at London on 28th November and it got updated in the system on 29th November. I didn't need medical, is there any Nigeria here who applied from the UK? How long did yours take.
I have written London and Lagos office and got an automated response.

Naijaforeigner:


It is the institution you will look up if it offers PGWP eligible programs.

You can check the CIC link below. Input the province or territory and check if the university or college offers such.

Fanshawe is a fantastic school, very massive and they have amazing facilities. If you have the money, great place to be.

Naijaforeigner:


Your visa only serves as your entry in and out of Canada. It does not tell you the conditions of your permit while schooling.

When you travel and get to immigration, you will be issued a study permit. It is on this permit that you will see when to leave Canada after studies, details of how many hours you are allowed to work and places you are allowed to work (on/off campus).

Gurus in the house.... I greet you ooo
I have been following this thread since last year.
But I’m yet to apply, well I’m applying soon.
Can I add my wes evaluation and ielts general tho (I had a 6.5 score) to my application..?
I’m thinking about online route( any reservation?).
After my Nysc, I haven’t worked with anyone apart from getting my construction contract from friends and family(studied civil engineering) no formal documents backing this up. I don’t know how to go about the work experience issue.
