Good day everyone I am new here, I am a registered Nurse and potential Accidental and Emergency Nurse (Accident and Emergency in progress), please I need an advice on how to obtain Bachelor of Nursing science in Canada.
Thanks

Good morning everyone. I am new here, please house I need your advice.
I intend applying for a better school in Canada, I am a registered nurse, I also have diploma in accident and emergency. I need to know how to go about my pursue in my carrier. The best school to choose and good provinces where when I graduate I can easily gain employment. Please the gurus in the house, I need more light to my questions.

Thanks. Waiting for replies
God bless everyone of us.
Amen

Thanks mcobex.

The father would not be applying with them. What I forgot to state in my last message, was that they are all presently in Europe. The father is presently a diplomat attached to one of Nigeria embassy in Europe. I think he is only trying to establish the family pending when he is called back home.

The major issue, is how can the mother prepare a SOA/LOE to buttress her intention if she is only going to complete a 1 year diploma in Personal Support worker.

Or should she just go with the minor as a guardian a and get a longer visa duration, but not able to do anything while she is in Canada.

mcobex:
From the look of things they are financially stable, so that's covered. Will your uncle follow his wife and children or he will stay back? If he stays back it will be much easier to convince the vo, because they can use him as home-tie. If he intend to go with them, do s he have any investment back home that he can hold on to as home-tie? Because the vo might think the entire family just want to run away from Nigeria for greener pasture and using study as a means.
NB: They actually have a good profile, that's if they play their cards right

Ibitowaoa:
Yes I prayed!!!!!
Now I need your advice;
Conditions
1. I have withdrawn my deposited tuition fees paid to the University
2. My background is still under review ( not yet mark)
3. What if after going for the medical the realize I have withdrawn my deposited money is that not a lie on document submitted.
4. If I go for this medical and then request for passport would you advice I drop my passport with the current situation of things that passport release takes time.
I really want to have the visa of Canada at hand even if it means not going, as it boost my chances of going next.
Advice me if you are in my shoe what decision will you take knowing that Germany is on its way.
Plus Germany is for a PhD while Canada is second masters as I wrote and explained in my LOE.

I humbly awaits your reply.
Thank you.

If you are scared of refusal because you have withdrawn your money from the school, the question is did you also or does that also means the admission was cancelled?

In any case, I think they must have passed the process of contacting the school because that I suppose is one of the first things they do while access your application. The question here will now be, how many weeks in your application so far?

These questions above will help in your decision making.
BTW, if you get the visa and still which to enter Canada, I think you still have to get an admission from another school otherwise how will they print out your permit at the point of entry into Canada.

Respond to those questions first, let's see.

My school application is still ON. I have not withdrawn my acceptance into the school. My visa application was submitted May 26. Medical request since June 24th and haven’t done it yet. Though I have a medical at QFC for 24th Wednesday now.
With your final decision, I plan to write them letter for a 10-15 days additional time to provide medical request as the 30 days will lapse Tuesday-Wednesday of my medical.
However, if granted the visa I might not enter into Canada for 3 years as I will be at Germany, does it mean I can still use the visa approval granted 3 years ago?
Thank you sir as I await your reply

Brother, everyone travels for different reasons, but mostly, we are always academically inclined before we leave our home country for abroad. It's only when we get there and see the mess our government put us back home that will now change our orientation to secure our stay in addition to studies.

While PhD put in high level, I don'nt see anything wrong in having 2 masters degree. I was talking earlier on the future of both Germany and Canada. No doubt, the two countries are great but I have seen a lot of people trying to leave for English speaking countries again from Europe because of language barrier that doesn't really give your desire work/job easily compare to the likes of Australia, US or Canada. And again, the permanent residence/passport, note that this is very important, you may not know now, but will know later when you get abroad.

However, the deed has been done, you have gotten a refund of your tuition which means you are no longer interested in going to Canada, it's cool anyway because I'm not sure the school will refund you after you might have secured your TRV. Continue the processing after getting refund can likely put you in problem (No one is 100% sure, but there is huge possibility for that). Unless you have to pay that tuition back to the school and continue the processing, then this will mean you have opted out of Germany and going Canada again.

With your current decision to go for Germany and to avoid problem, I would advise you to write CIC on every details of the reason why you are withdrawing your application. Let them know how you are fully funded in Germany. Describe how beautiful Canada is, and how you hope to have something meaningful doing in their country in the nearest future. This will be in their records. It will show how faithful you are to the immigration system.

Now, don't be scared of getting Canadian permit again, individual case is different. During your PhD in Germany, you can be a research visitor to Canada, and that alone can be a gateway to explore the opportunity in Canada or enter the Canadian market. I have seen someone here that easily got a work visa to Canada as a PhD research student from the same Germany.

The truth is, there is life everywhere, people are fortunate everywhere in the world, but however, we bring experience to ourselves to get prepared for the future.

All the best bro.

Me ehn, will advise you to go to canada, you can just pay back that tuition, and if anything arise, just explain that u had a pressing issues back home and felt u wont be able to continue with ur study at the moment.
masters degree will give u easy transition in phd, and if u will intend to stay back in canada self, u wont even need d phd self, all u will be looking out for is a good job.
my uncle in canada said its not about having phd there o, its all about doing ur masters and securing a ground, thats its only proffesional course that make good cash.
many people that rushed to germany to study, it was because canada refuse them visa. so be wise.
dont withdraw ur application, continue.
the thing is, schools and cic works independently, i dont think they will ask d sch, but if u still have d money, you can pay it back asap.
i booked my medical for 23rd of july at iom, i might give d date to u since i havent received my medical request.
ire o
this has been my longest post on this thread , i dont know y my body is turning on its own on ur case, cos initially, i wanted to give u a hot slap when u wanna withdraw ur application at that stage

I really did not want to contribute to this being that I am waiting for my passport I submitted since on the 9th of July at VFS Abuja and it's stressing me. Let me first congratulate you on your scholarship. I am an NDDC PhD scholar as well. Only difference between the both of us is that I can use my scholarship to proceed to any foreign University of my choice and I chose Canada as soon as I got a supervisor, a procedure that took two years of constant mails and calls to this same supervisor without response. I will leave that story for another day.

My colleague at the office got the PTDF scholarship to Germany as well and he's for PhD. He has been trying to secure a supervisor for the past 3 months and he told me it's been hell. He keeps getting rejected by the supervisors. I told him to take it up with the PTDF management during the induction which he did and he said you guys were told that one Nigerian Lecturer based in Germany had promised to help. He also told me you guys were given till September 2020 to utilize the scholarship or lose it. So, I wonder if you have gotten a supervisor and if you haven't. are you willing t put all your eggs in one basket, given the tight timeframe for your PTDF scholarship?

I was a recipient of the the PTDF split-site PhD scholarship in 2017 along with some other colleagues. One of our colleagues had already started his PhD at a Nigerian University then. The split-site did not work out because of the Nigerian University arrangement (you have to do two years abroad and one year in a Nigerian University) and so, this colleague re-applied for the PTDF 2018 scholarship and got it to attend a French University for PhD. At that same time he got the US Fulbright scholarship to spend one year of his PhD in an American University. He decided to opt for the Fulbright while waiting for the supervisor nod from the French University. I can tell you that my colleague is a about rounding up in the US and I'm not sure of his supervision arrangements with the French University yet.

I did my masters in Europe under scholarship with the NDDC as well and I can tell you that at the end of three years you will wish you had taken the opportunity to leave for Canada for a second masters. From language barrier, silent racism, opposite traffic orientation, unpredictable and irregular immigration rules, non-existent jus soli, difficult access to PR, there are a host of factors for you to consider. I don't know what your present occupation is but if you're not a lecturer and your long term goal isn't in the academia, then a PhD will be useless to you after 3 years. It is a backbreaking emotional and mental roller coaster and should only be undertaken when the individual is sure that it is what he/she wants.

You might also be thinking of moving to Germany for the PhD and then move to Canada after through Express entry. At that point, it will be difficult for you to use your degree in Canada without topping it up. I have friends with PhDs who got into Canada with EE and their PhD is useless because Canada low key doesn't value degrees other that theirs and America's. This is what recruiters call Canadian experience. I really hope you think about this well and not lose a great opportunity. I would advise you take the Canadian offer and start the program while processing your PTDF supervisor agreement in parallel because I know it will take you another 6-12 months to sort that out. If by the time you finalize the PTDF arrangements, you decide to switch to Germany, then you can write CIC that you are leaving your programme and request that your study permit be cancelled (there is nothing wrong with this as students drop out for various reasons).

Thank you Sir, I have currently gotten a supervisor at Germany. Was lucky to have gotten that and probably may leave soonest as soon as DAAD send award letters. I am just trying to choose one which is best for me.

When you say you're a registered nurse, does it mean you already have a BSN in Nigeria or just a diploma? If yes, then you can apply for post graduate certificate in any nursing program for internationally educated nurses in Conestoga or Niagara College. In regards to good provinces, I don't have any knowledge on that but to be able to work as a nurse in Canada, you would have to register through NNAS.

My dear, I have being reading up about your posts and advises given by some gurus in the house. However, my questions to you are these;
1. What exactly is your academic goal? To obtain a PhD? At what age or set-time? Is getting a second master's before proceeding for a PhD a possible delay for you?

2. What is the global value of a qualification obtained in Germany compared to a qualification obtained in Canada? What is the depth of expected knowledge acquisition in your academic field considering the research and other learning facilities in Germany compared to Canada?

3. Is available funding/Sponsorship a big attraction to you? Is this funding the major decision factor or the only decision factor for you? Have you researched on possible funding/scholarship after enrollment in school even when the admission offer didn't come with funding for both Germany and Canada?

4. Are you married? Is your family accompanying you for the duration of your study? Have you considered the impact of language barrier on your family members?

5. Do you have the intention to settle outside Nigeria after study? Have you considered the ease of migration to Germany compared to Canada?

Answers to these questions will help you come to a decision on the next step to take, and these answers lies within you only and nobody esle. Ask yourself, "What do I really want to achieve in life?" And your answers will come to you. Otherwise, you will only get confused the more and the clock is ticking.....

She can go for the 1 year diploma, all she needs to say is that she is accompanying her children to Canada but also want to use that opportunity to upgrade herself by studying a 1 year diploma. Since she is applying from outside Nigeria and her husband is a diplomat (which is a very strong tie) I don't see her having issues. It should be a straightforward app.

Obehi44:

Yes it means it has been approved but still not giving yet though. And that is base on the recent trend that after passport request they still carry out other checks. But you should be good to go if your documents are authentic.

Thanks you!

Bro I think you have been dragging this matter for too long, almost everyone has given you same advice which is to go for your medical and submit your passport when they ask for it. As long as you still have money in your account and the SOA is not fake then your approval is certain. You withdrawing your tuition isn't a bad thing because CIC have passed the stage of contacting your school. Get your TRV then apply for your German visa, even if you don't use the Canadian visa now or even after the 3 years laps it won't be a problem for you, but will rather help your case when next you apply for Canadian visa.
But of you withdraw your app now, that means automatic denial (in your case). If you want that then withdraw your app
NB: I don't know your plans after study (if you intend to go back to Nigeria or stay back), if your plan is to stay back then I would advise you to go to Canada(2nd masters) instead of Germany (PhD).....mostly due to the language barrier.

I would advise you take the Canadian offer and start the program while processing your PTDF supervisor agreement in parallel because I know it will take you another 6-12 months to sort that out. If by the time you finalize the PTDF arrangements, you decide to switch to Germany, then you can write CIC that you are leaving your programme and request that your study permit be cancelled (there is nothing wrong with this as students drop out for various reasons).

You have spoken well my brother. It is now his decision to make

Stevenssen:

It's called just student visa in Canada. f1 is just the American name.
There is no sevis fee or interview but there is a visa processing fee.
Go to the first page of the thread and follow the link of the first post, you'll find all the info you need. You can then ask questions if anything isn't clear to you.

cheers.

Thank you so much

Please I just got a second BVL from Lagos office after a passport request and passport submission. The first BVL was from Nairobi before the passport request. Is this normal or has anyone experienced such?
Abeg before people keep asking, I didn't use fake account.

mcobex:
She can go for the 1 year diploma, all she needs to say is that she is accompanying her children to Canada but also want to use that opportunity to upgrade herself by studying a 1 year diploma. Since she is applying from outside Nigeria and her husband is a diplomat (which is a very strong tie) I don't see her having issues. It should be a straightforward app.

100%

Thanks mcobex.

The father would not be applying with them. What I forgot to state in my last message, was that they are all presently in Europe. The father is presently a diplomat attached to one of Nigeria embassy in Europe. I think he is only trying to establish the family pending when he is called back home.

The major issue, is how can the mother prepare a SOA/LOE to buttress her intention if she is only going to complete a 1 year diploma in Personal Support worker.

Or should she just go with the minor as a guardian a and get a longer visa duration, but not able to do anything while she is in Canada.

Follow mvobex's advise, especially now that the tuition had been paid, clarifying their interests and intentions. However, they should make their SOP straightforward and logical as possible.

Good Luck.

There no problem about that ooo

Please anyone studying at Georgian College?

Thank you..

Just to add to the issue of 2nd MASTERS in CANADA or PHD SCHOLARSHIP in GERMANY:

If you were able to withdraw your funds from Canada it goes to explain that money is not an issue for you (I may be wrong though).

My advice : if money ain't an issue for you then stick to Canada. That was your initial move.

Cheers!

Bro some of thoes fanshawe agents are saying i should waste my money applying there that my chance of getting a visa is very low because i don't have a traveling history

Naijaforeigner:


I have no idea about Humber college bro.

Good day Gurus, Hope I can still submit application for study permit? . I have gotten admission already for September . Planning on submitting on Monday.

check if you are not leaving out any required section or column that is compulsory you fill. Check your date of entry to school and leaving, the Institution name and all or if you think your browser is the issue, use another browser.

What's the point you have to confirm attendance 1st of August most likely. Why not defer before applying
