Hi everyone

Is it possible for paper applicants to receive PPR after AIP and medical request passed since passport submitted already??

Paper route applicant will not receive a request to submit their passport. You will be informed via MyCIC account that your application has been approved and your processed passport is ready to be dispatched.

They suppose lay that agent down, flog am 56 times at the village square.. brother just get the required funds, get a good school that is a registered DLI, get a program that shows career progression and package well, you should be good to go. I advice you go to part 16 and this present thread and read well. All which you seek is within. Godspeed bro.

shoyemiayodeji:
Good morning everyone, I am completely clueless on how to go about this whole thing. The main aim is to apply for a Masters degree program ( 2:1) and I have five schools in mind, which are:

University of Saskatchewan
Memorial university of Newfoundland
University of Northern British Columbia
University of Calgary
Simon Fraser university


1) Which of the above school is the best option?


2) What is the first thing I have to do? And what other steps do I have to take?

3) How much should I be looking at apart from tuition fee?

Please help

First of all,
For Career Academic Progression purpose, make sure the Masters u are going for aligns with ur First Degree

1) Do Await a response on that from Students/Alumni of the mentioned skools that are in this forum

2) The first thing u gotta, do
You have to visit the website of those schools u mentioned, check the staff list of the program u are going for, check the profile of Professor/Doctors, and send them a mail to know if they are accepting students and show you are interested in their respective research areas. You can also work towards getting a Funded thesis-based Masters as well.

The link below will guide u on that
Guides/contents/videos in the link below on how to apply for M.SC & also possible M.SC Funded (Scholarship) Position in Canada
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/111#90933556

3) It all depends,

- Apart from tuition,
if u are the only the person travelling and its a 1 year Program u are going for, you av to compulsorily show the availability of $10,000 CAD for ur One Year Living Expenses, if someone is going with u, u gotta show extra funds.

- If u are going for 2 Years Masters Program, u gotta show at least 1 year Living Expenses of $10,000 CAD and also show how u are gonna get the $10,000 for the second year, if u are opportune to av the $20,000 CAD for that 2 years, show it.

Do await more inputs from the house

Thanks so much. Reading activated

Don't give up at all. Start reading from the beginning of this thread, you would find a lot of useful information. It might seem like a lot to read, but when you go through, you would see that you do stand a chance.

It's all about the course you choose and how you package your application.

Canadian Study permit might be tough to get but definitely not impossible for you.

Also, feel free to ask questions here.

This Nairaland family is amazing! A lot of selfless people here.

I take this opportunity to appreciate all gurus and everyone on here who keep giving their time and effort to assist in answering questions, even when many will come here to insult and accuse them falsely without any proof.


Special shout out to Frankrobbin and Qudkom for their unexplainable and unlimited assistance to make this application a success. They motivated my spirit when am about to quit and gave answers that quenched my doubts.  I am impressed by their extensive knowledge and ability to share relevant information in an understandable manner. At last, the GOLDEN MAIL (PPR!) dropped in my mailbox today.

For everyone still waiting, I believe the miraculous gift to all answered prayers is knocking already.

For those who have been rejected, please keep the hope, keep asking questions and continue to do the right thing.


As Frankrobbin will always say, It will end in praise !


Thanks.

University of Saskatchewan and Uni of Calgary have a good record with international students, but what you should be after is a school that fits what you have in mind in terms of course of choice, funds and every other thing.
Read through the thread to gain proper insight on what you need to do and feel free to ask any questions on here.
Asides you tuition fee you should have and show proof of at least 10,000CAD for your living expenses.

Kindly let the house know which moniker did this

Her name is chidiebere Amaka

Honorable, I doubt it has anything to do with not getting a BVL. Applications are processed by different officers and affected by so many other factors, So BVL is not always according to when the application was submitted. AIP is already pointing in a positive direction. Your friend should keep calm and stay positive.

Best wishes

Lekiboboe:

Thanks Hon. Chocs ...appreciate....

Can I conclude that this scenerio does not av anything to do with the Applicant who got AIP and hasn't gotten BVL yet or could it be that cos his skool (DL) is yet to be in the Covid-19 readiness Plans ?

Please how can one submit passport since VAC are not accepting in person submission?

Her name is chidiebere Amaka

how do you expect someone know who you are talking about
Drop the username of the person you are saying chidiebere Amaka

Please what’s her moniker, we all no each other here by there monikers. Also house please one of us here is in need of our help and we need to look for a way to come through for her. She contacted a fellow Nairalander here to help with payment for her fees. Long story short she says anty [/b]chidiebere Amaka[b] is in possession of her CAD1500 and refused to refund and gone ahead to block her. What’s the best way we can help. Should she report this to the Canadian embassy since our dear anty has decided to go rogue? Canada no be Nigeria.. I know the embassy would have her details and can take necessary actions.

Some schools take your last 2 years of study into account. So if you get good grades in your last 2 years even if you have a 2.2, you´ll still stand a chance of being admitted.

SOrry you had admission with 2-2?

Hello, I used info.cannig@vfshelpline.com
