Memorial university doesn't require English test as far as your university degree was taught in English.

Thank you for your response.
Please I still need you to help me clarify this;
For the 1 year PGWP and 2 years PGWP, which is preferable to go for then apply for PR.
Knowing a 1 year PGD will be cheaper to a 2 year PGD.
I am quite new to this, reason for my question.

Naijaforeigner:


The bolded is possible since it is not admission into direct MBA. It is like getting admission for premasters program. You do some courses for some months, pass and then progress into the MBA/masters program. Tell the agent to give you the name of the school and then do your research.

However, the truth is for most direct masters/MBA programs in Canada, you stand a better chance with a good 2.1 degree. In rare cases, with a 2.2, you can get admission if you had good grades in your 300 and 400level. The faculty and course also plays a role.

Finally, the duration of your program will most likely dictate the length of PGWP you get.

Memorial requires english but she can use WAEC result or letter from institution.

I used my TOEFL in my own case.

I am trying to understand the role of 1 year and 2 years PGWP leading to PR.
Does 1 year PGWP don't give good ground for PR?

A 1yr PGWP isn't enough for u to even apply for a PR.. having a 1yr PGWP means you have to extend your stay meaning you have to apply to another school even after finishing the one that brought you. That's why it's advisable to go for a 2yrs PGWP which is enough to apply for a PR.

It means they have to extend their stay either applying and getting admission before your 1yr visa expires or you come back and start all this application again just to be qualify for a PR.

Please has anyone paid visa fee online in the past one week. I paid last week and the money was reversed to my account and it's not been going since then. Want to know if it's a general issue or my card or bank.

Hello, sorry about your refusal however the TRAVEL HISTORY is not what you should worry yourself about. your major concern should be the purpose of visit. many applicants have made the same error of declaring their post-graduate qualifications. I can also testify that 2 applicants that applied for a PGD program with their master's degree and still got approved. GCMS notes may sound repeated but you need to be 100% certain that your refusal was strictly based on over-qualification reasons.

My advice for you would have been to apply for a POST BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAM. This is the only recognized PGD program in Canada that allows you to obtain credits in a different discipline.

all the best..
Okay

Mind me asking, is your wife travelling alone or all of you are travelling together ?

She needs to submit her SOA, if she doesnt have enough, what you could do is to transfer money for her flight ticket or one year stay.. just an amount to support while you still maintain being th main sponsor
Sorry just to clarify, are you saying that every applicant must submit his/her SOA, even if they have both main and co sponsors?

It is required that all applicants submits a SOA of between 4-6 months(though I have seen a couple of people that used a 3month SOA). The amount in the applicants bank account does not really matter but also depends on the applicant and the current situation(Study gap, working or not etc).
However, if an applicant is a minor(17yrs or less), the sponsor’s SOA/POF is sufficient provided there is a enough to cover all expenses.
Good luck...

I year masters will give you nothing less than 1 year PGWP. In some cases, you may be lucky and get 3 years. A friend of mine finished from University of Western Ontario last year (a 12 months masters program). He applied in January 2020 for his PGWP and got approved for 3 years PGWP just last month.

14,16, 24 months duration masters or PGD/PGC will give you nothing less than 2 years under normal conditions. In most cases, 3 years.

Although CIC states it clearly that they will give you a PGWP exactly the length of your program or up to 3 years, from experience, they don't always follow that. They give as they deem fit or what was written on the students completion letter.

Why is the number of years you get for your PGWP important?
To get into the pool for PR, you need work experience of at least 1 year. This is the common route by which most International students get their PR in Canada but it is not the only route.

Getting a 3 year PGWP allows you to work for 1 year, do IELTS in between, pull resources, get into the pool and then apply for PR. Remember, getting a job almost immediately post graduation and passing IELTS within 1 year is not guaranteed. Having 3 years PGWP gives you that peace of mind.


On the other hand, there are some provinces that makes it possible to get a PR even if you have just 1 year PGWP.

For example, if you do a 1 year masters in Ontario, they have a program called the OINP Masters graduate stream. It is a provincial nomination program. It is strictly for people who completed their masters degree and have lived in Ontario for 1 year. They don't need to show work experience and they don't even need a job offer to apply. All they need is write IELTS or CELPIP exams and meet some other conditions and they are good to apply for PR. More information, please click link below. https://www.ontario.ca/page/oinp-masters-graduate-stream

There is another program In Ontario called OINP employer offer: International student stream. From the name, you definitely need a job offer for this one. Please read further in the link below
https://www.ontario.ca/page/oinp-employer-job-offer-international-student-stream

There are other provinces that have good provincial nomination programs as well whereby you can apply for PR with a 1 year PGWP. A very good one is Saskatchewan.

In conclusion, I recommend going for a program that gives you 3 years PGWP but If you decide to go for a 1 year program (due to reasons best known to you), make sure you choose the right province to study. All the best.

@ Qudkom, pls I would like you or anyone else to throw more light on the issue of declaring additional qualification stated above. I have obtained a M Ed. (Master of Education) in Human Kinetics which have been evaluated by ICES Canada and recently obtained admission to study MSc Kinesiology in Canada. Initially, I do not intend to declare my M Ed. but when I thought it could be seen as not declaring the truth since my ICES evaluation must have been recorded in IRCC database, I have then added it in my IMM12 form.

Therefore, I would like to ask that will adding this information be seen as an error or does it have any significant value to my application, though I am yet to submit my online application?
I think you need to find out if they share data with CIC. That is the only way forward.

You can only pay in the bank after you download the invoice, it’s a third party(western union business solution) that collects the fees for them, or you can pay with a canadian back account( I did the latter)

No it’s non-refundable, it’s expressly stated, wish I didn’t pay sef but delayed as long as I could.
