Hello Seyiki,

You should talk to your mom to enquire from her bank for further direction. However, its not a compulsory factor that you must opt the NSE processing.

The NSE would be best for prospective applicants who would have the time to prep for the IELTS and/or building their funds to the stipulated eligibility amount, and not for those that already have their application processing ongoing. 75k is a whole sum that can be well-invested.

All the best

Chocs:
Most tickets expire in 1 year, so it might be pointless. Except you have plans of using it. All the people I know used a one way ticket and had no problem.

Checked requirements of Conestoga for Food safety and Quality Assurance. They requested for Transcript assessment i.e WES. which I believe will slow up application. Does anyone knows schools that's doesn't require transcript evaluation and offer same course or related course of study b4 giving admission. Thanks

ericksen:
No oo...I am going to Dalhousie Univ {Nova Scotia}. How about you?

Eilenora:
My course is a 2yr course. I was scared cos a reputable immigration consultant told me that she personally knows 2 people who were turned back at POE for having a 1 way ticket. Her words:
[20:02, 22/11/2020] .......: I usually don't advise this oo honestly
[20:03, 22/11/2020] .......: I know 2 people who have been turned back at the point of entry for this reason

Hello everyone, October applicants, how va?

davo99:
it is well... I am thinking of this Nigerian Student express process thing... I did not get the email though, Please anyone that ha s done it? I seem to have all the requirements

Time2soar:
Please house, I submitted my application on the 6th of November for winter 2021, first time applicant to Canada and up till now I have not received biometrics collection letter. Has anyone experience this situation before. My profile keep reading we do not need your fingerprints, we will send you a message if this changes. I have sent webform and email to both Lagos and Nairobi office but nothing has changed.

By the way, I submitted for my wife as accompanying spouse together with mine on the 6th and my wife biometrics collection letter came on the 9th of November, she did it that same date and it reflected immediately in her account as completed but mine is still saying we do not need your fingerprints ... What could be the reason for this. Thank you

davo99:
Oh wow.. I submitted my own too on the same date (6th Nov.) got Bio-letter on the 10th, did it on 13th Nov, and till today it is yet to reflect.
I hope yours drops asap.

Time2soar:


if you have all the requirement for NSE, did you submit them with your application, if not please submit them immediately through web form, it will make your application decision fast and approval more likely

Lekiboboe:

Hi,

Let me assume you are a Graduate (B.SC/B.A or HND)

Have you gotten Admission?

If NO,

1) First thing you should do is to apply for a Program in a Skool (DLI - Designated Learning Institute in Canada) that offers PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit), the Admission letter you get is part of the documents you gonna use to apply for a Study Visa

In applying for a Skool,
Make sure you show Career/Academic/Logical Progression most especially your Degree/Work Experience should be resonating with the Program you are going for.

So for instance,
If you studied Microbiology & you are going for Accounting , that's a Very Wrong Career Progression, but if you have years of Work Experience in Accounting even though you studied Microbiology, you can still go for it.

also,
note that you can't just apply for any program

U also gotta show Progression in the qualification of Program you are going for
e.g
- B.SC grad (2.1) going for a Masters
- B.SC grad (2.2) & HND graduate going for a PGD/PG. Cert/ Post Baccalaureate Diploma
- M.SC grad going for PH.D

If you have a 2.1 and you want to go for a PG. Cert, endeavor to show cogent reasons in a convincing manner in your SOP why you are going for a PG. Cert instead of a Masters Degree.

You can state your Course of Study, your grade, members in House might be able to suggest a Program you can go for that relates to either your Degree or Work Experience


2) Financial Readiness is very very important
- You need to have enough money that's gonna cater for your tuition (like $14,000CAD upward , depending on the tuition amount of the program) & compulsory One-year living Expenses ($10,00 CAD).

If you are to make use of a Sponsor, it should be either your Mum, Dad, Sibling or Uncle/Aunty who you bear same surname with and have known you way back in time & your Sponsor should have enough money to the extent he/she will still have substantial amount of money in his/her account even after sponsoring you

Also, both parties should avoid any form of Lump sum of Money in their Accounts

3) Show Strong Ties to Home country I.e things that can compel u to come back to Nigeria after your Studies e.g Your Parents, Wife/Husband & Kids (If Married), Landed Properties, Job, Position etc.

Hello Goodmorning everyone. I'm new here but I have a question please. I have already applied for a PhD at the University of Manitoba. My question is this, with a full funded PhD with teaching assistantship position. Will I still need to show proof of funds to cover the tuition and living expenses? to apply for the student visa ?


thanks
