heidepaper:
Congratulations to you friend. I’m glad it worked out.

Usually the professor will organize an interview immediately after accepting the student to see the vibe and discuss issues. The professor would most likely talk about the funding at this interview.

At least this is how mine was. After the acceptance via email, an interview was fixed immediately. The professor talked about the funding there.

If the professor doesn’t talk about it, the applicant can then ask. The professor’s funding might be enough to cover the period of studies. If it isn’t, she can mail the program assistant / advisor to ask for findings available and she can also check the programs website. It’s usually stated there.

All the best

You are welcome PanicButton,

As far as the Prof. has accepted her without any protest, then there is no specific period on when to ask about the topic of funding.

By the way,
the content in the link u posted
https://www.queensu.ca/geographyandplanning/mamscphd/funding-awards
justify why she is at liberty to ask the prof. about the availability of funding, cos in the link, its very clear funding is available for the thesis-based masters in Geography & Planning @ Queen's University

In case the Prof. ask to have an Interview Session with her
do ask for some guide here in the forum, so she can have an overview of the meeting/interview expectations and some questions she can/should ask the Professor to show her research curiosity,

Best Wishes to her!!!

Hello PanicButton,

Its good to know that the information from thread proved resourceful.

When its comes to funding after a supervisor has accepted to supervise the student, the supervisor nominates the student to the department for any available or existing funding opportunity whether or not the supervisor have enough available funding as at the time of accepting the students.

Given that funding is an essential part of the program and for the supervisor to have willingly accepted the said person without any warning of no available funding, then it means the person would get it. There is no harm to request for the availability of funding from the supervisor. It may escape the supervisor to mention it to the said person. So, its right to request or enquire about it.

Not all supervisors advise or interview their research students via video app prior to acceptance though its a common practice with some. Most supervisors are conservatives. To be a TA or RA, aside the funding, the student must be proactive enough to enquire about availability. On some notes, some supervisors offers the position with question especially for those students interviewed by supervisors.

It will be only right if the said person go through the list of the Profs past and current students and reach out to them. This way, there would be enough insight on how to tailor any research work to suit that of the supervisor. Don't do too much but doing it right is all that counts if the supervisor is to trust and open the lab to a student.

The process of funding comes with different experience from respective supervisor, department and institution. Also, the person should also check with the department if there is still funding available, as the requirements or process for funding from the department may be entirely different from that of individual supervisor.

All the best

Thanks so much for your response.
I will have the money transferred to her account.
Again if the uncle has the money transferred to her account not that father’s, How would it look like ??
The full tuition would be paid.
I don't how a rebuttal looks like, I will contact for a guide.
Thanks

Please how do I contact you privately (off the forum)

Theres no way creative Director or project director is related to Marketing management which is the reason why purpose of visit was the only reason given. If you decided on a course, make sure its in line with your current experience/job description mostly. Most people study A in bsc and come out working in B field. If you wish to apply for Canadian admission, you must maintain a career progression by applying to courses related to B. In other cases you studied A, graduated and work in the A field, pls maintain programs related in that A field. I say this cos Admission is easy cos schools are more interested in your money but the visa stage is the koko and they dont care if you have millions stack in your account but your intended program isnt related to your present experience. Its a straightforward purpose of visit denial.

To answer your question, yes you need to change the course to something related to your experience or job role

Mideyo234:
Hello. Going by this, what if you want to continue studies based on your first degree and not your work experience. Do you then discard the work experience?

heidepaper:
Nawa. I already submitted mine without all these their 2 copies and long story. Why is VFS so disorganized? They should make the information readily available and very clear. They should stop turning people up and down.

I submitted:
The receipt gotten during biometrics with the copy of stamped data page that was stapled to it. (Original copy)

2 passport photographs

Consent form

Letter asking to submit passport

International passport



I did my biometrics in Abuja and I sent from Abuja to Abuja. Using DHL. It was 3,300 Naira (1,650 for each way)

I’ll give the house any other update that comes up.

PanicButton:
Most definitely. But the supervisor has shown less interest in having an interview with her, which is quite unconventional. Only gave her approval, and bade her success in her application. I will update as it progresses, and seek your input where we lack knowledge. Thanks once more for the effort you put into this.

Anon123:


You need to show some form of experience gained related to the first degree to which you are going for further studies in canada. Thats whybi said you need to show career or academic progression. If you studied microbiology and you into interior designs, your program has to tally with interior designs since you dont have any experience in microbiology. But if you are working as a microbiologist, then you can apply for programs related to microbiology.

Chocs:
Hello aminat2000,

Is your father going to sponsor you?

If yes, his bank statement (4-6 months) and he should write a sponsorship letter stating that he’ll support you.

And yours (if you would like to show it)

I’ll advise him to transfer the living expenses of 10,000 cad to your account and that you show your account

Some other things can be in your proof of fund section, although they won’t count to your total funds available. Things like:
Pension statement of your dad
Any investment/shares
Landed properties

Your sponsor also needs to show his source of funds, that means where his money is coming from. If he’s employed he needs his letter of employment, letter of introduction from his employer and his payslips (3-6 months). If he’s a business man he needs to show his business registration documents and if possible proof or receipts of his business transactions

Please go back to page one of this thread. On that page you can find required documents for application, you’ll get a more detailed response to your question there.

As you read through the thread. I advise you to read from beginning to end, take note of documents people who got approved submitted. That will help you figure out the important documents.

Please note that the minimum required proof of fund is 1 year tuition + 10,000 cad for living expenses. I’ll advice your sponsor has way over that, because it’s not realistic that he/she will give you all the money in their account for studies.
All the best

Please help me!

How did you do it?
I’m in the same position. I submitted my biometrics in Abuja. Please what do I do?
Please what are the step?
I’m really sorry to bother you.

aminat2000:
Thank you very much. The business document registration is CAC right?

jdoe28015:
For those yet to submit their passport,

The CVAC would not accept it if it’s from smaller delivery companies and does not have the delivery company’s packaging, so please take note.

PanicButton:
Hi heidepaper,

I appreciate your feedback. Hers is particularly unconventional because the professor didn't schedule any interview. She only gave her approval, indicated she liked the topic because it was in line with her research area, and bade her success in her application. She will begin the application process, but also reach out to the program coordinators for more enquiries availability of funding. Thanks once more.

samsung007:



Thanks a lot.
Do you know if the rate employment is okay or not?.I won't want to study finished then keep regretting my decisions

heidepaper:
Hello,

First of all, I tracked it via dhl and saw it was delivered and signed for.

Next I got an email saying my passport has arrived at so so so office and is being processed.

I’ve been getting Mail updates about the movement of the passport from one point to another.

Cheers

LordAA:


Hello Thank you for the update.

Please did you get the mail immediately if arrived at the vfs office?

heidepaper:
Not immediately. I got the email from VFS about 3 hours after DHL recorded that it had been delivered

heidepaper:
Hmmm. This is a tricky situation.
She needs to be sure this supervisor has accepted her! It should be clear. A supervisor who has accepted you would want to make contact with you, and even assist you with your application sometimes. If she can share the supervisors reply here, things will be clearer.

If I were her, I’d keep looking for other professors and not fully rely on this one.

Also she should check the program’s website for available scholarship and also send an email to the program assistant/advisors. They know everything about scholarships

Cheers

Lekiboboe:

Ok then, in that case , while waiting to know about the full assurance of funding from the Prof., I will advice she do more research & get across to Profs. of other skools, just in case the Prof. respond With the unexpected (No Funding). But she can be hopeful she gonna get the funding from Queens Univ.

The reason for all of this is to make sure SHE DOESN'T PUT ALL HER EGGS IN ONE BASKET

All the best to her

LordAA:


Thank you boss.
Please which province are you going to?

PanicButton:


I thought the same as well. But fortunately she has made contact to other researchers in other schools, and two have declared a willingness to supervise her although in a different research area. Find attached her response, and deduce for yourself if it's actually in the affirmative.
