I can look at your SOP. But understand this is a high privilege I do not grant as I am very busy with job and have little time to spare than answering questions here. I am just dishing advice based on another first class applicant that was denied and I met him. There are two schools of thought concerning it. There are people with RA and TA and scholarship full funding from Canadian school that CIC denied as “lacking sufficient funds to pay educational expenses without taking employment in Canada.” There are others too who scaled through with no problem having TA and RA and scholarship full funding. Depends on which VO is looking through your application I guess. Best wishes!

In this message you mentioned that the sponsors account statement is to show that they can pay for the second year and subsequent. In my case, its just a year course and I require no subsequent funds from the sponsor. Must the sponsor (my husband actually) stil include their statement of account? The thing the sponsor sold a land just to raise me with some money towards my tuition. His account statement does not usually reflect millions on a regular basis if you know what I mean.

Good Evening everyone, My name is Kunle and have been silently following this thread as a guest, I applaud you all for the useful information.
I did my Medical at Children's practice on January 29 2018 and have not heard anything from the embassy. Friends who did their medical after me have been granted their TRV, I mailed them but all they said is 'They're Still working on it.' I'm worried, just using Faith to put myself together now. Pls anyone experiencing such or has experienced such in the past?
Thanks in advance.

ChuksEbube:
I think you can't tell whether your TRV has bn approved or Nah, from your cic portal account. I think they'll only message you to go pick up your passport @ vfs(paper route applicants)pls o, if I'm wrong, someone correct me

KlausMike:
Good day everyone!

My study permit application on CIC website has been updated. I am to perform medical examination within 30 days. I submitted my application with vfs on the 31st of January 2018. Na God hand i dey at this point.

It will all end in praise!

MICHV1:
I am not harsh, don't get it twisted but it is bitter to see people heart-broken just because they are ignorant that other good countries exist. When I was very active on this thread, i know many who took into consideration when I preached about Germany, they embraced the opportunity, worked toward it and they are happy studying and making euros there. if Canada isn't giving people what they wished for, please spread your tentacles. I know many who have made it to Australia, USA and Germany that are from this Canada thread then which is where they started this journey. Don't get blind-folded

ChuksEbube:
Lol..... Go home and continue living your life. You'd be called upon, okay?

ChuksEbube:
Bros ehn, Just release yourself. Okay? Lol....... You have to remove your mind from the application
to avoid high bp. Anyways it depends on how fast or slow they verify your application. I hope this helps

ChuksEbube:
Yeah, you would even get a text message stating it has been picked up from vfs

University of Ottawa many programs deadline is in May 1st. February 1st USASK deadlines closed for the year and Admissions decisions coming out March 1st.

iwriterng:
Thank you so much, like I needed to hear the bolded part.

As regards calling, are you suggesting that I call after sending two mails and not getting a response from them?

I have been sending targeted email, something of this nature:

First paragraph: Introduction and a question about availability of position in their laboratory.

Second paragraph: Interest in their research as well as a thought provoking question (insight) about their work.

Third paragraph: Informing them about the attachment.

That's the typical structure of the email I've been sending. Would you be able to offer any suggestion as regards structuring?

Showbtz:
I also applied to Usak but mine is still on "Complete and ready for review"

Josh1996:
Please I need advice on this transcript stuff that's happening due to the NASU strike...pls anyone who has found a way around it, pls share....Thanks

JoseJonn:
Hello house please my school has refused to give me an unconditional letter even after I sent my transcript. I was asked to use the letter they sent to me before. What do I do. Shld I just screen shot d email of receptance sent my my school and use it to apply for trv,alongside my admission letter?

I want to understand this: is it necessary for a sponsor to give a break down of the other dependants yearly tuition? My sponsor(mum) has 2 other dependants

jnyuwa02:
Refused to give you after you submitted original transcript? That doesn't sound like USASK. At any length do not be discouraged as there are other ways out. Simply apply with your conditional admission letter and enclose the original transcript to the VO. Some people have done so successfully.

Slik07:
Yes. The pre-qualification form you filled is not only to assess your eligibility but also to match you with a supervisor where funding is available. You would rarely be given an offer when there is no funding. Either your supervisor contacts you and tells you he doesnt have funding but he can accept you if you provide funding. Or you're rejected.

2. With the rate VOs are looking for reasons to delay applicants, I'd advise you meet all the requirements for your admission and make it unconditional offer before you apply for TRV, unless if the requirement is the one you will meet when you're in Canada.

You can risk it if you want, with a well written SOP.

jnyuwa02:
Yes if you are recommended by your academic unit, 98 percent chance that the school of graduate studies will approve your admission. But funding you just have to play it by the ear. No guarantees, you don't even know you are been considered for funding till you get the news. If you are given conditional admission, no you don't have to send everything before applying for TRV. I will recommend you send everything, but if for one reason or the other you can't, no worries, just show the VO that you meet those conditions by showing the evidence. For example if you were given conditional admission based on sending your original transcript, you need to show that transcript to the VO. If you need to take a prerequisite course and score nothing less than B before the commencement of your studies, you need to show that you have registered for that course or earned the B required. That said, it would be fair to disclose that all is up to the VO's discretion. I know someone with conditional admission who was approved for TRV without even meeting that condition before a VO. When God opens your door, nobody can shut.

Wiseoldman:
Hello, I currently have TOEFL, published journal, 4/5 CGPA, and 5 years engineering experience. I would like to pursue sponsored Research MSc. Would i need GRE. Also, which schools would you reccommend for sponsored MSc in engineering.

Many thanks.

Slik07:
1. No. You dont need GRE for PhD admission. It's mostly MBA admission that requires GMAT/GRE. What'll boost your chances is to publish paper(s) on an impact factor-based journal. That paper stands as your research experience and capabilities. If you've not published any paper, dont stress yourself. You can still get PhD offer without it. Most schools in Canada offer funding for PhD especially Engineering students. A school with low budget as MUN offers minimum of CAD$19, 000 for PhD engineering students and CAD$16, 000 for MEng students per year.

2. Yes because you're not on ground, it's a bit difficult but not impossible to get a supervisor. I would advise you check the department of the course you want to apply for. Read the areas of research of the professors and their journals before you email them. Pls, avoid generic emails. Tailor their emails to suit their research interests. Dont go about boasting of your high CGPA. Dont go begging or acting desperate. Simply tell them the value you can add to their research group. The contributions you can make if s/he agrees to supervise you.

3. I'm not sure. But you can quickly go and fill pre-qualification form for USASK now. It takes 10 weeks for them to get back to you. Once you're picked, admission is assured whether you contacted a supervisor or not. Pls, dont make mistake in filling the form esp the supervisor part. It's automatic disqualification if you do. You can also check Ryerson, Western, Queen's Universities etc.

The new immigration law in the UK according to @zan1999 is the Tier 2 visa. After graduation, you can apply for Tier 2 visa to remain in the UK for 24 months.

Best of luck!
