Hello Jeanjohnny,

As far as I can tell, your aoolication is good, and there will be no need for a co-sponsor. Irrespective of your dad being your sponsor, if I were you, i would convince him to at least transfer 3m into your SOA to boost it showing your LE. It will make more sense that way, as the balance of tour dad's account will still be sufficient.

You quoted my response to a moniker in respect of the including all siblings. You should know that I only answer questions based on the presented information to it.

However, its not compulsory including all your siblings. If your father wants to state the number of children he has, which the VO might scrutinize in terms of the available funds, he could put it in this way in his LOS that he has "7 children but 4 are dependents and gainfully employed," depending on the number of siblings you intend to state (do well to provide their birthday certificate or any proof) and same should be all stated in your SOP.

Also, endeavour to show proper home ties to convincingly show your level of establishment.Then lastly, connect the relevant documents that builds your application thoroughly in your SOP.

All the best!

Good morning,

I am trying to apply for M.Eng Mechanical Engineering at MUN. However, when i clicked on the portal, i found 2019-2020. I am a bit confused if this applies to me. I want to apply for Fall 2020.

Should i go ahead and pay for 2019-2020? or should i wait until they open the portal for 2020-2021?

please help because i want to apply through an agent and she is telling me to pay for 2019-2020. I am a bit confused right now.

NwanyiOkpa:


I am trying to get a simpler way of sending my recommendation letter actually. The recommendation letters i have are hard copies and i don't know how to send it to MUN since they are saying that my lecturers need to recommend me from their own email address. Should i scan the letters and send to MUN grad email address?

NwanyiOkpa:


my lecturers are not gadget friendly. that is the issue.

campu:
Please I just clicked the validation button on my application to enter Canada form more that once and noticed upto six barcodes have been generated all in one page. Should I submit like that or do I fill a new one?

Broadway5007:
Dear All,

Thanks for the information provided so far.
Can anyone help confirm if a registered land survey can be used in place of a Certificate of Occupancy when submitting the application.

Thanks.

SOPWriter:
I have decided to take my time to correct the rife practices of my fellow countrymen, regarding the common mistakes they make in their statement of purpose: I have reviewed much numbers of SOP and I could discern what is ubiquitous, therefore the necessity I have laid on myself for this selfless address. Aside the tips I have benevolently stated on this forum, I see the need to be of adequate assistance to as much as possible numbers of persons who will appreciate this kindness, by adhering to these corrections.
So, I will list out these ‘common mistakes’, then point out the bloopers:

UNNCESSARY PIECE OF INFORMATION: Although this is not only practiced among Nigerians (I have sighted this fault in other nationality citizens as well.); we tend to state things that are completely irrelevant to our application. A Nairalander once sent me his SOP, before he did; he was bravado of his piece, saying he only needed me to see how good he was. To cut the long story short, he sent me his SOP, and I was flabbergasted to see “I own an apple laptop valued $1,000, two iphones that worth $500 each, making $2,000. U of R is a good school, as they will help me look for Job when I graduate with first class. Canada is a good place where you earn a good standard of living, unlike Nigeria, where people live in poverty”. I stared for ten seconds, especially after considering how he had boasted of his SOP. “My people”, learn to stay on point, stop stating things that have nothing to do with your studies!

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE LENGTH BUT THE VALUE OF INFORMATION: This is mostly applicable to Nairalanders (the guy I used as an example above made use of 3 pages), you will hear something like “I wrote a superb SOP of 4 pages, three thousand words”, and when you read through their SOP; all you will see are piece of information that will shoot them in the leg: it is the value of details that matters, and not the lengthiness of a written/typed piece.

WRONG USAGE OF GRAMMERS: it could be funny sometimes while reading some SOP; many applicants turn to overnight Grammarians; then starts filling up their SOP with words that is completely inapplicable in a writing context; wrong usage of words, bad grammatical structure, counterfactual spellings, etc. They completely forget they could be communicating with a native speaker who might be familiar with these words and get irritated: Use the words you are familiar with, grammars are not mandatory, effective communication is.

I took 30 minutes of my precious time to write this short piece, and I hope it assist someone to attain his/her goal.

Good day everyone. Please , I need some advice . I just got my admission letter but there is a mistake on the date of birth. Just a diff in year. My birth certificate , waec and passport carries the correct date. The admission letter is carrying a year before my date of birth. Can a sworn affidavit be OK for this error ? And hope it won't be an issue as I intend starting up my visa processing soon. I plead for sincere advice . Thanks

Hi Guys

Naijaforeigner:

As per bolded, was this after you paid the 100Cad for your application?

JustMellow:


No, you can't scan the remmendation letters to MUN. Specifically, MUN's appraisal letter or recommendation letter is custom made. Go to their page were the requirements are stated, you will see the appraisal form. You have to download the form and send it to your referents to open and fill with an Adobe Reader, then after completion, send to MUN. Let me know if you need further assistance on this.

Good luck!

NwanyiOkpa:


Thank you so much. I will download the Appraisal form so that my lecturers can pen-fill it and scan. I doubt they will even have adobe reader sef.

I contacted the grad school and they said it can be pen-filled and scanned.

hello Justmellow, please I need your opinion. I have 8 siblings, all older than I am and are all working. Is it necessary to fill the details of all of them? would this raise any concerns for the VO? I'm actually sponsoring myself and intend to use them as home ties. Please what do you think?
