You cannot get admission for masters with your CGPA, your only option is to find a PGD in one of the colleges related to your course.
And no it is not a red flag.

Thanks alot for the timely reply. I already got two schools in Winnipeg for PGD...Take a look at them for me please.
1. https://www.mastersportal.com/studies/152920/marketing-management.html
2. https://www.mastersportal.com/studies/152922/financial-management.html
What are these schools like?, Is Winnipeg a good destination for international students? These are the courses i can find suitable and i feel they are kind of related to my discipline.
PGD in International Relations is just 1 year. I won't want to go for that as the major aim is the PGWP. What's your advice regarding my choices please?

Beckley40:
Thanks so much I really appreciate I will apply to the mentioned institution, I just wasted my application fee on Mun

No regret necessary at this point. You're at the right platform. So long as you're here, I see no reason why you should make further mistakes because all the information necessary for admission and visa application is available on this platform for free consumption.

The two courses are in the same school (U of Winnipeg).
The school is good and Winnipeg is a good destination.
Prepare your application well and relate the course you chose to international relations. Let the VO see the relationship between the two courses and why you chose marketing or financial management.

Helo guys,
I judging from the input of our experienced gurus here, one can easily deduct that going for 1yr PGC will be hard to get PR. please gurus my questions are:
Can 3 semesters of study qualify as a 2 year programme? the college offers 2 semesters of course work and the third semester is for co-op/ unpaid placement. can it fly as regards in getting PR as study?

Secondly, my second choice of school offers 2 years of study. the first 3 semesters are for course work while the last semester is for co-op. though the programme of studies in this one clearly stated that it's a 2 year programme.

N/B my questions are as regards to PR issues, so as not to be caught off guard.

1) it should be stated on schools course info the length of course though I doubt a 3semester program is 2yrs.

2) Good, it was clearly stated. Whixh is the one that can help you towards PR.

Good morning house
Im a graduate of medical laboratory science graduated with. I intend progressing my career by opting for masters in Public Health. I finished with a 2.2 making my chances of securing admission to the program very slim. I intend pursuing a post graduate diploma in Health Analytics or health informatics 1 year program. On successful completion of my health analytics program or health informatics. I intend applying for the Masters in public health. I have the following questions
1. Is it possible to secure a masters degree admission with a PGD certificate judging by the fact that the Bsc result bears a 2.2
2. If possible, is it possible to get another study permit for the msc program while in Canada. If possible what are the chances of getting rejected. Is it high or u are sure of getting a study permit as long as uve secured ur admission
3. Will this qualify me for a 3years PGWP to get a chance to apply for PR.

Thanks.

1) its possible but only if your grades at the end of your study are good. If there are you can apply for a masters

2)After your 1yr PGD program and which to further for a masters, you dont apply for another study permit but rather you apply for an extension of your stay by mostly submitting the new admission letter (masters or PGD) and statement of account to show you can handle your tuition and living expenses for at least a year. The chances are high as long as you submit those documents, hardly get denied and feedback takes at least a month.

3) yes it will if the its a total of 2yrs(first program and the second)

NB if you are insisting on doing the masters, you can go ahead with 1yr PGD and den the masters but if you ain't, you just apply for a 2yrs PGD program which saves you the stress of applying for an extension of your stay.

Good morning,

Pls can I apply to University of Winnipeg and offer an admission for PGD without IELTS or any test of English results? Because Nigeria is not stated among the exempted country.

Pls advise me on this.

Please is it possible to be refused after this huge progress and how long does it take to get a final approval so as not to miss the online class.
I already deferred from last fall to this fall

The chances of getting a refusal after medical request is passed and BVL been initiated is very slim. I have come to understand that at this stage in every TRV application, the visa officer has passed the ELIGIBILITY assessment of the applicant and thus awaiting for the travel restrictions to be eased by the Government of Canada as well as the VAC to reopen before passport request can be sent to the applicant. (This information is evident from the GCMS notes, I vetted recently from students and PR applicants)


No one can tell for sure how long the entire process could last due to the unforeseen conditions associated with the novel COVID-19 pandemic as various Visa offices are presently working with critical and limited staffs. Hence, the increase in visa processing times.

Congrats Frank on the new job. �
I’ve been a silent reader and observer and noticed how efficient you are. Keep it up.
I was recently accepted into University of Prince Edward Island for a masters program. I’m still waiting for 2 other schools before I make my decision tho. However, I decided to start preparing my documents early. I am in a bit of a dilemma as regards proof of funds. My dad is a regional overseer in my church and it is usual practice that the church pays the fees of the children of the Pastors. I’m really at a loss on the best way for the financial sponsorship document to be prepared by the church.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Thanks for the amazing compliments about me and best wishes. It couldn't have been made possible without the presence of the honourable members of this platform. So I appreciate you all for the opportunity to contribute my quota on this thread.

In retrospect to your enquiry about financial sponsorship documents to be prepared by the church. I would enumerate the below information;

1. Certificate of Incorporation (shortlisting the names of the Trustees in the church).

2. Letter of Sponsorship.

3. Financial Resources (Six (6) months bank statement of the church).

4. Resolution letter (declaring their awareness and agreement to sponsor your education in Canada).

5. Bank Reference letter supporting the statement of account.

6. Proof that you're a bonafide member of the church (ID card and reference letter from the organization you belong to in the church as well as pictures with your fellow members in the church).

7. Payment of the entire tuition fees from the church bank account, and highlighting the date on the SOA.

8. A domicilary account in your name showing transfer/deposit of equivalent $10,000CAD from the church in support of your annual living expenses.


The above documents should be sufficient to demonstrate their ability to finance your studies in Canada.


In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out here.

Hi,

U are Welcome,

U might likely not see such scholarship,
also most funded thesis-based related programs for Masters or PH.D programs are Mostly Science/Engineering related.(I stand to be corrected)

But u can still give it a shot in a Business related PHD Program.

So Why not go for a Thesis-based PH.D program, hustle for a Potential Supervisor, get one and work towards getting a Funded (full or partial) thesis-based based PH.D in a Business related program.

You can be successful in this by Sending a Start-Off email to Professors and a Contextualized SOP (Statement of Purpose)

Visit the link below and input the Business program of ur choice,
Click on the search button, U will see lots of schools and PH.D Programs there,
google the school , the Dept, and Check their staff profiles for Professors/Doctors looking for PH.D applicants interested in their area of interest/research/specialization, then mail them

Hello Ichiebillion,

Semesters may vary from institution and depending also on the course type. Most programs or institution runs on a trimester which may also be up to one year in length. So you may want to check with your DLI and ascertain the actual duration of the course curriculum.

It shouldn't be miscontrued, a 1yr program is equally eligible for a PGWP but Time may count as a factor against it. You can go back some few pages where respective views were shared by some knowledgeable people here.

All the best

Alright, thank you so much for your response Frankrobbn1.
But a quick one please. I won't be getting my new letter of admission until next year. As such, will it be okay to send a letter of defferal (which is different from the LOA) to IRCC?

Thank you!

Frankrobbn1:



Why the rush? Please exercise a little more patience before sending the new LOA to IRCC. Give it end of this month, if you don't receive any update on your application, you may proceed with it.

Hi,
I doubt if u will see a college with such tuition fee per year

The $7K - $8K CAD/year would likely be the tuition fee amount a Domestic (Canadian) student pay's

International Student do pay more in terms of tuition

Google the following schools, check their program duration (either 1 or 2 years) and do a research on their tuition , u might likely see a quite cheap one

Artisanal Culinary Arts

hello guys,
pls ur advice is strongly needed on this. I have OND in science laboratory technology 5years ago I relocated to Dubai. I want to apply for undergraduate admission in Canada but considering the high tuition fee for four years is it ok to apply for 2-3college diploma. My budget for tuition is 12,000 canadian dollar per year . I can also justify my 5years gap been working since then.

dayjeee:
thank you will look into this

You're welcome bro. I'm on same course too. We can share ideas and info.

Thanks alot boss...I'll really appreciate your professional help as I'm about to start with mine.

Good afternoon everyone. I am new here and please I need guidance.

I am 30. I hold a masters degree( PT), concluded last year. My gp is 3.8

My bsc is a 2.2 , not a good result to be honest. Graduated 2011, started working 2013 but stopped working 2015.

I'm married with two kids.

My husband runs his own business, duly registered and pays tax, has tax clearance and all. He will be the sponsor.

Our aim is to migrate to Canada as a family. I was following the Express entry thread but my score is really low.

So now we decided to try the school route. I honestly dont know where to start from and need help please.

With my bsc, I know I can't get admission to study for another masters over there.

Please what do you suggest I do?

I need help with university suggestions( reasonable school rates), schools that will make us eligible to apply for PR, location ideal for family. My kids are less than 4yrs, so I know they wont be starting school yet.

What is the first step to take? My transcript is being evaluated by WES at the moment. I know I have to write ielts, I have been practicing and will take the exam next month.

I intend to study nursing. I have a science background, bsc in microbiology but masters was in a professional field.

If there's a link where I can read up on, pls paste as well. I await your responses. Please help. Thanks

Letter of deferral is fine provided that it covers relevant information about the program start date, duration, tuition fees, DLI number of the school etc. However, I would best suggest you chill until the end of the month before sending the updated letter to IRCC.

Hello all, please is it necessary to get my transcripts evaluated by WES before applying for a masters degree in Canada? Or is this requirement only for those applying for PR.

For those of you that have gotten an admission how did you get your transcripts/ degree certificates evaluated? Also is IELTS a necessity for Nigerian graduates?

Frankrobbn1:



If you seek my good working knowledge in this process, I would advise that you should forget about Memorial University for your undergraduate studies. The school requirements for Bachelor's degree program are cumbersome and they often require every document to be sent via courier by the issuing body. The funniest part of it all is that they require English proficiency test (IELTS with no less than 6.5 over all band and TOEFL). Having said that, and in a bid to better your study application approval chances, I would strongly suggest you apply to The University of Regina and/or The University of Saskatchewan for her degree program. I have personally used these schools for young Candidates on several occasions whose parents were their sponsors and their study permit application was approved. So save yourself the stress of MUN and take a proactive step by applying to the aforementioned institutions.


In the meantime, please don't hesitate to ask questions should you have any concerns.


It will end in praise.

Thank you for this information it will really help, I wanted to apply for my under graduate program in the university of Regina. I completed the application and I am been told to pay the application fee before they can process my application. But I didn’t saw anywhere in the portal where I am to post my documents because they didn’t ask of it. Is it the way they do it there?

Most Canadian universities do not need evaluation nor IELTS from Nigerians.

Please my fellow nairalanders is it compulsory that you must pay a deposit to the university before you apply for your study permit? Please your candid reply will really help me. Thank you.
