I seconded your question

Please as a B.sc holder, is it advisable to apply for PGD or Graduate certificate?

You will be able to attend online lectures after being issued visa sir.

Well-done my brother. Some people don't deserve to be in this forum.I had first class in Elect/Elect Engineering worked with a verifiable federal parastatal as an Engineer with good salary, submitted payslip,salary account, leave letter, recommendation letter(was denied for current employment situation) paid complete tuition fees for two years of my desired program (was denied for insufficient fund for tuition fee).had a running business which s verifiable, had 8600 USD available in my dorm account for living expenses for more than 4 months(was denied for insufficient fund for living expenses), married with children with my wife doing a verifiable job too , had properties evaluated etc yet was denied with flimsy reasons. How can Ircc justify my denial of immigration status with no travel history?.I was given only insufficient fund for tuition in my second application as d only reason for denial. This prompted me to pay full tuition for 2yrs of d program.we are on nairaland to share information, learn from peoples mistake, encourage people and not to cajole people and your country even when u know we have genuine applicants from Nigeria..I was given bvl just 3 to4 days after d third application.. Let ircc be consistent wit their application reviews

Naijaforeigner:


I am actually searching for the truth in your post. I will address key points from your previous post.

1. Visa is not a right, It is a privilege

I completely agree.
So because visa is not a right does that mean the process should be unfair, inconsistent and inefficient?
Do you see so much complaints in the UK student thread?

Most people are complaining about the process not the outcome. If people are rejected and the process is fair, there will be little or no complaints.

10 different applicants will apply from different parts of Nigeria and they will all be refused for generic reasons. These 10 different applicants will pay and apply for GCMS notes and they all get similar generic statements. Does it not occur to you that there is something wrong with the process? To add salt to injury, applicants are even refused within 3 days. Are you saying they verified documents within 3 days?
Is IRCC not paid processing fees?

2. Nigerians come to Canada and don't go to school and they use fake documents

Another myth peddled around without facts.

Austacus, Wheyme, Myself, Asapant, vestment all study in Ontario. There is a woman on this forum whose husband attends my school (moniker witheld). There are about 5 other people on this forum in my school (I cant remember their moniker). Lonelydude, graduated from University of Western Ontario last year and he has a fantastic job with a very good pay. We keep in touch on a regular.

Sleeky is in Newfoundland, Bracha I think is in Brandon. There are a couple of other Nairalanders spread across different provinces all studying. All these people are Nairaland members I got to know on this forum. They moved to Canada from Nigeria and they are studying. I specifically mentioned Nairalanders so you know I am not telling you stories out of the blues. Did all these people use fake documents?

Do you need me to tell you other people outside this forum who I know personally and they all moved from Nigeria to Canada and are still studying, some graduated, some are working and doing well in Canada?

Because you all hear 2 or 3 students moved to Canada and did not go to school, bloggers post it and you all assume that is the norm with most Nigerian students.

5 Nigerians are doing yahoo, drugs, crime in Toronto. It makes headlines. What about the thousands of Nigerians doing exceptionally well? Do you use the same energy to celebrate Nigerians, definitely in the majority, that are doing well in Canada?

The sad fact is negative news spread so fast and then people assume that is the norm. We don't celebrate Nigerians who are in school doing well. We are too focused speaking about the few people spoiling the country.

3. Nigerians struggle to get their fees paid when they are in Canada

I can tell you for a fact that at least 80% of Nigerians that come into Canada go to school, pay their fees and complete their education. They may struggle, there may be challenges but they get the fees paid. Which International student does not struggle to pay their fees?

I have paid a total of 33,000Cad, is that beans? My parents are not politicians, government workers or contractors. Indians struggle to pay their fees as well. Almost all nationals struggle. kini big deal. We struggle but we get it paid.

IRCC only asked to show money for 1 year and by the way, who just leaves 33,000Cad in their account doing nothing?

4. Nigerians are not honest.

We have dishonest people everywhere in the world. I mean no disrespect, If you have dishonest people as friends, please change your circle of friends. Dishonesty has nothing to do with Tribe, nationality or race. It is all about the person and his/her principles.

I hope you have a good one.

oh, I thought one would be able to attend online classes and then apply for visa when the lockdown is lifted eventually.

You can only attend online lessons if your TRV has been approved or gotten passport request.
Please online lesson is not for everyone that has applied for TRV o, let's not mistake it abeg.

Please advice .

I have a b.sc in accounting , but intend to apply for accelerated nursing program , do I need to write waec for science courses .

Thank you

Why not do something related to accounting and do a change of course when your there.
those VOs look for anything to raise a red flag
.just my thought

As for the science waec courses,i dont know if they'll waive it
the nursing program, its PGD right?
Your current profession,is it related to nursing?

lol,you have to be a bonafide student to attend classes else it's a waste of time if you dont get the visa

only thing you can do now is defer your course till next session...contact your school and tell them you want to defer,they'll extend it till another time.they know getting the visa is part of the process,so that not a problem.
just make sure you contact them,as well as the Canadian embassy,letting them know you've extended your program cuz of the Visa delay.

same old process

@deljilale

Yes its is advisable,
u can apply for
PGD-Post Grad. Diploma
Or
PGC - Post Grad. Certificate
That's if u had a 2.2 or 3rd Class

But if u have 1st Class or a Strong/quite Strong 2.1, Advisably, applying for Masters is ur best option

Note
Some Applicants with a 1st class, 2.1 do go for a PGD or PGC as well, cos the applicant might want some hands on Practical experience in a specialized field which PGD/PGC do offer unlike Masters which is more of THEORY & RESEARCH...

It all depends on ur Interest...

All da Best

Yeah bro, just chill When did you submit btw?

I guess you are right bro . I have been following this thread from the very first message
Have never applied for the study visa before though hopefully next month
Have seen people with less attractive profiles, no solid employment history, minimal funds or incomplete documents and are granted VISA without much hassle and have also seen people with the best profile denied VISA

My conclusion is basically for you to do your best to submit all your relevant documents, work on your SOP and pray like never before

If you are destined for Canada. Nothing can shake it
But don’t quit your dream for a better life

Thanks for your encouragement

Do you read to understand or your read to reply. I dont understand your bitterness. Let me point it out to you, majority of the monickers you mentioned are close allies. We chat on a regular. Who said all Nigerians who go to Canada dont school. I know a lot who paid over $30,000 for a year MBA and have graduated. I know those who have graduated with distinctions. At least if I keep dishonest friends, I dont know how it affects you, at least they are getting their visas like I mentioned in my post, a friend whom I know used genuine documents. So I can't see where i said my friends are not genuine. Next time read to understand rather to attack. No matter how you want to sugar coat it, the obvious fact still remains. In summary, what i said, is it true or not? A yes or no. You still typed all the long epistle and still mentioned that this things happen. So whats the point? Nobody said Nigerians are not doing good. I had not finished reading your reply, and an obvious case popped up, I drew your attention to it, you did as if you didnt see it.This is my last post on this, you can continue with it. You can keep searching. Remember there is life outside nairaland. Nairaland accounts for less than 10% of applicants.

In your initial post, you said 99% of Nigerians use fake documents. You also said it clearly that Nigerians are not honest. You get called out and try to now act all nice and start praising Nigerians?

I will ignore your rants. Whatever makes you sleep well at night.

Well said !

Every single information was helpful. I'm comfortable with picking a year now. Thank you so much.
God bless you

But please be careful.

I know someone who did a 1 year program and when it was about time to renew his study permit for his second program, his sponsor said he could no longer take on the cost for his second program.

Things like this do happen. Your sponsor also plays a role in all of this most especially if he/ she is a third party sponsor.

Hello Legacyedition,

Your case is not as complicated as you may see it. Its not compulsory to do a second Bachelor since all you need is the practical and professional ideas. A PGD/C or Post Baccalaureate Degree should be a more suitable choice to consider and endeavour to relate it to your work experience. Since your father is financially sufficient and reliable, you stand a better choice using him as a sponsor. Your first homework and step to take towards your application is to sit down with your dad and have an open discussion with him about your intentions.

Also, with your available personal funds, you have the required funds to be self-sponsored but however after the deductions of both your tuition and LE for the first year determines how sufficient financially you are. Still, its advisable to include your father either as a co/sponsor or a financial supporter. Let me know if its not clear enough.

All the best.

Thanks boss, I went back to this your post, checked some of the PGD in biz management and biz admin, they have what I actually needed, more cost effective and time saving. Also with some of the biz schools, if one do well in the pgd, MBA is possible after a year. I already applied to schools for Bachelor of biz admin, very sure I am letting them go, wish they could refund though but I think its non-refundable. Thanks once again.

i'll be sponsoring myself. Hope it wont be a problem showing them my acct statement.
I don't run a business tho thats one thing I'm worried about
if you got any insight on this,please let me know.Thank you

What's the age range for PR?

There is a whole lot to PR and there are so many routes to PR. It just depends on the one you decide to use.

It is a points based system. I cannot specifically give an age range. So let me put it this way, people below 30 will get more points than people over 30. But age is not the only criteria.

I will advise you ty to understand the whole process, the possible routes so that you can make an informed decision.

There is nothing wrong with self sponsorship. Just show proofs of what you do for a living or how you got the funds. It’s fine.

At least I didnt say 100%. Incase you dont understand the difference between 99 and 100. 99% means there are still those who dont use fake documents. You still affirmed to all I said, quoting what goes on in Toronto and all, are these not the same things I said. I also pointed out that not everyone that qualifies for a visa is issued one. Its obvious you just want attention. I asked, are my points not valid. Other countries too do the same thing, how come Nigeria has 81% rejection rate. Isn't it a cause for concern?

Got this off ircc website.

Please check official fee schedule and birth certificates.

I was asked if I have taken any standardized English language test before, I ticked yes and my toefl score report is the evidence.

I hope my GMAT score report also helps to push the point that I merited the admission for mba.

My initial post were guidelines and my opinion. I did not include birth certificates of siblings in my application. All I did was fill out their names, DOB in the family information form. However, there is no one size fits all.

If you feel the need to include those documents, please do. You can never get penalized for including extra documents. Just make sure all the documents are legible enough for the VO. That’s the most important thing.

On the issue of Toefl, you already ticked it on the form, so you can include it. If you think GMAT is needed as well, please do.

Even though we give guidelines on what to do and what not, the most important person is YOU. It is very important that you feel happy and comfortable with documents submitted for your application.

I pray you get your visa, your documents look solid. I really love the fact that you did further research on information you received here. I wish you all the best.

When you say 99% statistically and scientifically, you have said that a greater percentage of the Nigerian population uses fake document. It's close to been fallacious and it is wrong. Where do you get your data from? Respect , One love.

Hello @Everr

The first challenege for u to overcome is u getting a Supervisor

So u gotta mail Supervisors of different universities in CANADA first... Then if dey accept to supervise u, U can now come to the forum and state that So so Prof./Dr. Of so so University has agreed to supervise me ..(Don't give up when u get a Mail from a Supervisor that he can't supervise u or not accepting student for supervision, Try and look for other supervisors)

Then someone in the forum (who might have experience of sure bank universities with easy admission) would now be able to give u suggestions and ideas .

Note: Its after a Supervisor has accepted to supervise u that's when u will now process the admission and pay the Application fee..

Make sure any sch. U decide to choose is a Designated Learning Institute (DLI) and also eligible for PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit)

I didn't want to reply to this post but I feel everything about it is wrong...you said your friend told you 99% of Nigerians that applied for study visa use fake documents....do u actually know what that 99 means...that out of 10 ppl that applied for the Visa that 9 out of the 10 submitted fake documents and just 1 person is legit...haba naa... how do you both come about this Figure...did you carry out any research? Have you guys worked with the Canadian embassy before...what is your basis to this Figure...this is so baseless.....oh common cut us some slack manh...haba�

As you are putting up with the figures...at least it should come with supporting documents..references from verified articles and all....you can't just boom and start telling us what your friend told you...Who is your Friend again...�
