Hello all,
Please what does this info below imply?
Do students from Nigeria need english test?
Must the english test be Academic or is general training test accepted?

Language: Applicants from a university outside Canada in which English is not the primary language of instruction must provide results of an English language proficiency examination as part of their application.

Students who have completed a degree from an English speaking and teaching university are exempt from taking an English proficiency test. Proof of university teaching in English will be required, either stated on the official transcript or an official letter sent from the institution.

[/b]The Faculty of Graduate Studies reviews all international applications and does not consider such applications until a satisfactory English comprehension score has been received.[b]

Profadeade:
Go to the institution you graduated from and request for a letter of English proficiency.

chigrad:
Thanks but what do you think about the last paragraph where the school indicated all international applications will not be treated until they receive an English comprehension score?Will letter of english proficiency from my university be suitable to take care of this?

Profadeade:
The English Proficiency Letter will treat all that so far you graduated from a Nigerian University. Nigeria is regarded as an English speaking country.

Make una please say something abeg
Hi everyone here, Something is really bothering my mind so I thought of throwing it to the forum for suggestions,


I was refused of visa a month ago, though the course I choosed is not a related course, I have Bsc in microbiology but got offered for global business management(an agent secure that for me I don’t know how he did it).

But I got refused base on family ties in home and Canada and purpose of visit

Now I decided to forfeit the admission and apply for a course related to my degree carrier

Now my concern is that, I hope it won’t affect my next application because I knew well that details including SOP Has been stored in Canada database, moreso in my SOP then, I mean the refused visa, I stated it that I want to change my carrier and if probably I get course related to my degree then I’ll need to change the story, I hope there’s no going to be any issue.

Please I need advice.
Thanks for your contribution.

Hello Frankrobbn1,

I would like to request your advice on my Proof of funding.

My tuition and living expenses for a year is almost 5 million. Is it better to show this amount in my sponsors statement of account (balance of 6.5million) *OR* for him to send the 5million funds into my personal account(there by submitting my own account statement as prove of funds)?

NB: I also have a yearly scholarship from my university totalling 6k CAD.

Graced08:
@Frankrobbn1 and others on here,pls how can i contact IOM for Medicals.( I have tried all their lines, all to no avail).. was previously booked for 27th November in Qlife which is too far away as my Medicals has been requested since last week.
Also, does anyone on here has an upfront medical appointment date later this week or next week at Qlife that i can swap mine with. Pls DM me if you do. I’ll appreciate.

Dkberen:

Hi, is this date still available? I would really appreciate it if you can give me the date as I won't be in the country for some months to complete mine and I have a very tight deadline for my application

Dbnagato:


Why not try IOM? You can get appointment by next week, I just did.

Dkberen:

Next week would be late as I wouldn't be in the country at that time.

Dbnagato:



OK.. Sorry about that. Have you tried IOM Abuja?

Dkberen:

Next week would be late as I wouldn't be in the country at that time.

Cjleks:


Do the medicals in the country you are travelling to. Check the cic website for the list of approved places in that country.

Frankrobbn1:



The money should be in your Sponsor's account statement since he is the bona-fide owner of the funds. Unless in a situation whereby he is a third party Sponsorship and thus wants to show his financial commitment towards sponsoring your education and stay in Canada, then he can transfer both your tuition and living expenses into your account and also provide his bank statement to proof that the funds was originally raised from his account. Again, his bank statement with a closing balance of 6.5M is very low, what about his dependants (wife and kids), his personal welfare and business?. In reality no sponsor will spend more than half of his funds
to sponsor a candidate and have 1.5M left for himself. To me, it doesn't sound convincing. Hence, your sponsor should build his account statement to a reasonable sum before applying for your study visa.

It will end in praises.

JustMellow:


This is not based on fact but on subjective reasoning. I totally disagree.

Y'all should ignore.

Linzo:

Why should it be ignored? When your refuses to address the real issue in the quest to positioning yourself as authority that you're not. Some of you trying to claim an authority here don't even have accurate knowledge of how the Canadian immigration system works, but rather result on conjecture, the best advice you gave is to tell applicant that without having thousands of millions of Naira in the sponsor account their application will not scale through. You will have to show landed property, this or that bla bla.

Let me ask you, how many of your generic advice here have yielded positive results. You people will want to paint the whole process look as only the highly rich and rich can access Canada. Let me sink this into you, the Canadian authority does not care how rich you're or how you submitted all the assets worth millions from Nigeria, but all they check is your intention and they got to know all that with all documents submitted and information filled.

So the earlier you learn from other persons who may probably have the information you are not privilege to then the better you will guide people accordingly. Someone must not only move to Canada through study route as they are other surer routes to migrate to Canada as @dare111 pointed out yesterday's.

Good day guys. Thank you all for your contribution. I've learnt A lot hear.

I have just been offered admission into Centennial College to study Global business management for May 2020. It's a two year Graduate Certificate program. I just got the mail today and i haven't paid the tuition deposit of 2300 CAD yet.

I also applied to Durham College for International Business Management but i haven't gotten feedback yet. This one is a 1 year graduate certificate program.

I'll also want to go for my masters in management when I'm done with the programme.

my challenge right now is:

1) if i go for the one year program and then go for masters later, will i b still be eligible for the 3 years PGWPP?

2) bearing in mind i still want to do masters after the program, do you suggest i go for the one year programme or two years programme?

Firstly, A Graduate Certificate and a MSC program are both similar the only differences are;
1. GC is cheaper
2. You don't require a project for GC
3. GC is more skilled specific compared to a rather comprehensive MSc

Lately, I will advice you go for a 2yr program if you have the means. It will guarantee you a 3yr PGWP. Compared to a one year program that gives you just 1yr PGWP.

You also need to consider the cost of studying in Canada going straight to a msc program after spending 35kplus isn't a joke.

P.S: Do not state in your SOP that you intend to do msc after the GC program. Don't make that mistake.

Orlarshaynee:
Send a copy to my email: lordklynton@yahoo.com. I will help go through and revert. Also, I will ask some questions of you, which would help me in giving a proper feedback on your SOP.

Orlarshaynee:
What I have heard is that you can still get the 3 years PGWP if you don’t apply for a PGWP after the one year programme. Meaning you can only get the PGWP once.

So you need to ensure you get an admission offer before your study permit/visa expires; if you want to remain in Canada legally. Then you can go for the masters program and after then you can apply for the PGWP, which will award you 3 years work permit.

You should however wait to get responses from more knowledgeable people about this.

Good luck.

Molly90:
Hi, congratulations on your admission to centennial. I wish you God's favor through the visa stage.

I will like to confirm something as regards centennial College, after submitting documents to the admission office and requesting status from the Africa office, we were asked to submit another set of documents by the Africa office which included waec certificate, I want to know if you were asked to do the same and if submitting the waec certificate is compulsory or we can go ahead to submit just undergraduate transcript.

I will appreciate your kind response. Thank you in anticipation.

I have just been offered admission into Centennial College to study Global business management for May 2020.

IboBoyNuel:



Yea. I understand the confusion. Centennial College needs to fix up that. When i initially applied through the website, they sent a list of documents which i needed to send to them (university transcript and Certificate). However, i sent a mail to them about English proficiency and the replied me with another list of documents to send to them. They also sent an application form to fill and scan along with the documents.

I hope this helps.

IboBoyNuel:


OH let me add, please also buy a scratch card /pin/result checker from waec and send it too.

You get it wrong Mr man, 6.5m is not too low from a third party and even a forth and fifth party, the authority ask for about 3-4m is a sponsor account irrespective of who ever the person his, whether a relation or not. There is nothing like financial commitment of any sort that exist anywhere but its just a Nigeria newly founded term that was burn out desperation to pinch into the VO psycho to consider their application in the form of financial commitment which as never worked

What an applicant needs is a plain statement of Account from a sponsor and let us stop this financial commitment jargon that have made us look desperate in the eyes of the Westerns. You don't need any form of commitment either as school fee or whatever you name it, unless it is categorically stated as in the case of some institutions requesting for some tokens as initial deposit or acceptance of offer before an admission letter is send to you.
