Imagine look at that.
Sometimes I come online, look at all this and just go back to sleep.
Imagine wanting to do a PhD in your country so that you can be close to your own people but not one single scholarship/ funding to sponsor your study.
When a person pays his way through from baby class to Master's level and you still expect me to pay huge fees to do a Ph.D. (the job is not even guaranteed after studying o)when I can get it free and be paid elsewhere.
There is a massive brain drain going on. Massive! The intellectual youths are leaving en-masse except for a few.
So many issues....Lemme just stop here and go and sleep cos if someone thinks about this country ehn.....

ILoveDLord:
No I didn't get a supervisor.

But one can still apply for scholarships from other sources once the program commences.

Mijac:


Yes they hv.

As anyone who applied between February and March this year received medical examination request letter? I submitted my biometric information since March and still no medical request yet.. .. Anyone has any info? @Qudkom any info?

DMerciful:
This is not the condition the op is asking. He is asking if you're given a conditional offer pending when they receive your official transcript and wants to know if you can apply with that conditional offer and I maintain it's a capital NO!

Qudkom:

I understand the appalling situation and I believe people like you and others on this forum will one day contribute to repair our tarnished image/reputation. I spoke extensively with a student from india and he mentioned what he submitted. Letter of acceptance, GIC certificate and study loan approval from the government and he got the canada study visa in 3weeks. There was no property document, letter of sponsor etc and he got it. Now look at what the average Nigerian submit to get a trv. It is ridiculous some get so tensed they submit fake documents just to make a case.

When I did my medical a man in his late 60's said during his days people would rather stay in Nigeria than travel abroad and even when they do so they come back immediately after their studies.

I believe we have potential in this country and we are going to get there soon! We youth just have to make sure we set a good example and foundation for the coming generation.

My admission letter didn't state the tuition . Was another
Letter sent to you after paying the 2k dollars? Kindly
Advice pls.

nalizzzy:
good day pls am asking for a friend. her dad has 6 million in fixed deposit and a closing balance of 50 thousands naira. pls I told her to remove statement of account. am I wrong?

Qudkom:

Congratulations. I am always happy to read approval testimonies. Please try and share your timeline.

DMerciful:
You cannot use conditional offer letter, that's why it's conditional, admission is unconditional if you fulfill the conditions timely. Go to your school and get them to send your transcript expressly and if it means facilitating the process so be it!

Mehn nothing yet my brother. I applied February 21st via online route. Had my biometric on the 25th and it was updated same day.

Qudkom:

No I don't have any "information". What's the current status of your online application? Background and eligibility review?

sillysassysally:
So sorry about your denial... I pray things work out for you in the end!
do you mind sharing your timeline?

Juleskiki:
@imade, I feel you should state your complete profile including all docs submitted and order your GCMS note. So that we can advise you appropriately.

sorry for the delay..

It is sad that processing times for Nigerian applications take like forever but the conditions are different. Do you know that these Indians MUST pay the 10,000CAD for maintenance directly to CIC and then when they get to Canada, they open an account and CIC pay these students monthly (similar to what is done in Germany)? I think that is one of the reasons they have faster processing times. Also, most of these Indians have access to loans, CIC trust the institutions giving them these loans.

If Nigerians are asked to compulsorily pay 10,000CAD to CIC and probably make part payment to schools for fees, the number of applicants will reduce drastically.

Hi Frank, I am new here and I just got admitted into a college for a graduate studies. I need assistance in applying for student visa and the rest. Please here is my email address itohanuzama@gmail.com
I will love to hear from you and you perspective about it.

Thank you.
The visa officer will like you to satisfy them that you're gainfully employed in your home country and that the prospects of getting a job when you lose your current one is considerably high. This satisfies the visa officer that you won’t leave your job when you travel to Canada. On the contrary, if you're a fresh graduate, being unemployed as at the time of your application won't affect your application. You can get a letter from an establishment stating that you're presently volunteering (non-paid) at the firm.

The applicant has to look for a school in Canada that fits his area of specialization this will determine his cost of studies in Canada. Also, bear in mind that the sponsor will also set aside 10,000$CAD for the applicant's first year living expenses.

Well for me, I had most of my money in Treasury bill and fixed deposit when I submitted my application., and another huge amount in my pensions account

In my savings account I only had about 250k,and still submitted the statement like that.

Although I paid 2k CAD as initial deposit for my school fees

My visa was approved.

Cash in fixed deposit and treasury bills can be easily made available by liquidating the account /investment and I think the visa officers know that.

But I hope your friend has other money in addition to what his/her sponsor has, because in my opinion, 6 million may not be sufficient fund

ILoveDLord:

Please guys for personal reasons, I am not able to reply private messages (PM).

Please kindly ask your questions here on this platform and I will answer or someone else will be able to.

Also that's part of the reasons I have provided as much details here and I provide details when answering questions

Sorry to all those whose PM I didn't reply to.

Additionally, I believe questions that are asked openly here and answered could provide answers to many people's questions too; and could used as reference by the new /upcoming hopefuls in the future


Thanks for your understanding.


I wish you all the best in your applications.

Juleskiki:
I think you are wrong. I just got a PhD admission with letter of admission to present to the visa officer that has conditions for me to present my original transcripts and certificate by dec. 2019.

Qudkom:


My brother, you aren't alone. It is disturbing. When I was serving I spoke to my employee back then about travelling to canada and do you know what he said. I was just on a simple 12k allowance from the organisation and to my surprise he said when you are done with nysc I will increase your salary to 25k I wanted to faint.

One day hopefully we are going to reap the fruit of our labours by Gods grace.
Lol you should go to bed it is needed.
