Kess2020:
I had a very low cgpa of 1.75/5 (3rd class degree) intend applying for a post graduate diploma in a private university in canada. Has anyone tried that route with private uni? The course is only offered in the school with my research.

Just try and apply for another bsc program or diploma program that's the best option for you.

Abby2cute:
Good evening all .Pls I need ans from anyone pls.... I want to go for a diploma course , but I have just neco 2001 will that be possible ? If yes what and what should I have to get admission and proceed? Am a Nigerian but not apply from Nigeria but Europe.. all advice is kindly need . Thanks all

NECO is recognised in a few schools. You might also need to apply as a mature student and make use of your work experience to boost your chances of getting an admission. Also try and apply for a skilled diploma program.

Good day guys, Good job so far ,I'm new here. I'm processing Thompson Rivers University (Tru) Canada.. please who has gotten admission into the university or knows so much about it? please I'll like to know everything about the university and the environment because the reviews i saw where not so good. thanks you so much guys

I'm always surprised when people check this reviews, bro I'm in Thompson Rivers university and the school is okay. The school is located in a small city though but if you want to start in a small city then it's the right choice for you. There are so many Nigerians here by the way.

Hello guys. My study permit got refused based on
*family ties in canada and country of residence
*personal assets and financial status.

Please I'll like to know how i can tackle both issue's. Who can help me understand what the problem is and how i can solve it.

Justmellow mcobex naijaforeigner qudkom .

Thank you

You cannot get an in depth reason for refusal. You can only get default solutions to those refusals. When you list detailed documents you can get better advice's. On the contrary?
1. Where do you work plus salary?
2. Are you above the age of 27yrs and did you submit any personal financial documents.
3. What family documents did you provide

Hello everyone.
Hope you all are doing well.

Been a while i came here, school work and dealing with winter wahala in Canada takes so much time off my hands.
Hope our Nairalanders in Newfoundland and Labrador, Halifax, are safe ooo. Please make una no use the weather play oooo. It aint funny being out there in this blistering cold. Frostbite is real!!!

Please I have a request to make, and it is quite urgent.
@JustMellow, @Frankrobbn1 @Naijaforeigner @Qudkom, @mcobex @Austacus @Bracha and others in this house, please your responses will be greatly appreciated.

My brother got a PPR, but has less than 6 months left on his passport. We though it is better for him to get a new passport, but we want to know if he can submit the new passport to CIC given his application was done using the info on the old passport.
If so what are your suggestions on how best to do this? Can he submit both? Do we have to a letter to CIC to explain the new passport?

Has anyone experienced this before, or been in this situation? If yes, what did you do?
Please everyone, your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes sure he can. Let him submit it with the old passport. It is very simple

adeshna:
Which Canadian university can I apply to for PGD in agriculture and what is the general application time in Canada. Is it possible to start the process and get a visa later this year?

There are many schools just check websites like hotcoursesabroad, Ontario colleges etc... I will advice you get a school early this year and apply ASAP for September this year.

P.s: check Manitoba schools because the province is generally well known for agriculture in Canada.

juddytee:
Please house can you help me with this enquiry. My friend graduated with upper credit (Hnd Accounting) she is 34 years old and she wants to study in Canada. What program and school can she go for. Thank you

Advanced diploma in accounting. I'll advice forensic accounting or any other special accounting program that can't be done in Nigeria. Also for her age she needs serious proof of her work experience and a solid personal funds and assets also. Because Canada visa officers are something else

tobiasbeecher:
Hello, good people, please I need your advice. I'm currently residing in South Korea where I did my master's programme, but I want to relocate to Canada to do another master's programme. When I got admission in South Korea, my eldest sister paid for my first-semester tuition fee, but I subsequently paid the remaining ones through hustling while studying. Now I have completed my studies but I don't intend coming back home now. I'm currently on a job-seeking visa, so I want to know if I can apply from here without any problem? My eldest sister wants to act as my sponsor again and she has a very good account with steady cash flow and I also have saved some money here. She is ready to transfer the money needed to my account here and also send her Nigerian statement of account, house document, payslip, proof of family relationship and other relevant documents over to me. So, I'm wondering if my application will be affected as a result of my continuous stay in Korea without returning home? I have also travelled to Japan and other countries while here. Please, what is my chance of getting the visa?
NB: I'm also married and my wife just visited me here but she will go back to Nigeria later.
Thanks

You seem to have a good thing going in a lot of ways;
1. You have travel history and apparently no record of breaking any immigration law
2. You have a very very active sponsor that as a history of sponsoring you so you just need to get the proof of this in addition to what you have.
3. I'll advice you gotl for a PhD program or restrain from declaring your msc so you can apply for a msc program if you apply for another msc program you might have issues with "purpose or visit with the VO not understanding why you need to come over to Canada"
4. If you try the study route you can apply for your family via open work permit and all.

wvictory:
please am new on this thread
I want to know the process of getting a scholarship student visa that can enable me also to work

You have to have a very high CGPA plus apply early for the scholarships because it's highly competitive. About working at the point of entry you automatically get a conditional work permit that'll allow you work for 20hrs during school session and 40hrs during off sessions.

p.s: if you plan to work to pay Tuition and all please ensure you have someone pay your first 2semesters or at least sponsor 60% if your first year expense so you don't get stuck when you get here. That's the reality of Canada. Working during school session (20hrs) is only good enough to pay for your living expenses.

Godsfavour78:
Sir. I will be 23 years old in may and I dropped out from uni in 2018(so no first degree). I have a very average ssce result(NECO). Any hope?

Can you get a transcript for the semesters you completed

Adetayoade1:
Hello house having gotten admission into the university in Canada when is the perfect time to start my visa application

You can start asap. I submitted mine 9monthd before resumption

adigun98:

Thanks for taking your time to reply me boss ,please I'd like to know if I'd have to pay before getting the admission letter or there are schools that would have admission before paying ?
Thanks and God bless you as you reply sire

The least you're going to get is an acceptance deposit between $500- $1500 but you'll still pay the tuition regardless.

P.s: it's pretty much a waste of time coming into Canada and not enrolling fully in school. I can't count how many people have tried that and at your end get tracked down by the immigration.

adigun98:
Hello Fam,i plan on applying for student visa to Canada but I honestly don't plan on studying really cos of the high fees,i need advise on how to go about it cos my real motive is to work and perhaps get married..please I need advise on how this works really
God bless you as you take your time to reply

Bro the vivid truth is most people that come into Canada through the study route actually want to work. They just have to go through the study route because it's the easiest route to Canada. They get in and can establish themselves. For example you can do the normal part-time work of 20hrs and work full time of 40hrs during holidays. If you can withstand the pressure you can do other jobs like food delivery, uber etc to make extra cash. If you want to get married that's the easiest part.

In terms of cheap schools you'll have to look beyond onatario and other popular provinces to get affordable fees. All the best and I hope you do what's right for yourself.

YomiAfo:
Hi everyone..
I hope y,all doing well
I’m new to this, I want to apply to a school in Canada. I graduated with a second class lower, it’s almost like a third class.
I’m 23 and considering a new BSC. I’ve heard age matters too. And can a non relative member be a sponsor?
Thank you

1. Age matters***
2. Try a post baccalaureate program
3. A non relative member can sponsor you if you can proof the relationship between you and the sponsor.

Answered Part 3 by Nkechi48: 7:59pm
Good evening house, this is my first time posting here. I will really need advises as regards me schooling abroad this year 2020.

I am 26 years and I have 4 years banking experience, is it advisable I go for my masters in the UK with the new intended 2 years post study visa, or I apply for Canada PR or go for my postgraduate in a Canadian school.

Your honest answers will be appreciated.

Only you can answer this questions you asked sincerely. However, this is my opinion;

1. Going to the UK; it is extremely expensive after which you get the two years work permit, but it is very difficult to convert that to a permanent residency going forward or finding a UK company to sponsor your work permit.

2. Canada express entry; With your work experience and IELTS you should be able to meet up with the requirement and get into the pool age and other social economic factors also considered*** the process can be long an tedious.

3. Study visa Canada; This remains the most popular route to Canada. With your experience you can come in and after a year try your luck and apply for PR. Also your experience in the banking industry will also help you get finance jobs here in Canada. Good luck

TheAfroBlog:
Hello house is it possible to get admission for M.SC Computer Science or M.Eng Software Engineering in Canada, with a weak second class upper like 3.7?

It's a little weak considering the competition for competitive programs like software engineering. You can try graduate Certificate programs out. You'll easily get it.

Frankrobbn1:
Happy New Year My Great People. I'm rooting for everyone and looking forward to having the best year with you all in 2020. Glad to be back here!

Happy new year bro. Wish you all the best this year.

missnigeria:
Hello house,
I have this desire to travel to Canada since 5year ago but because of one thing or the other I'm still in Nigeria. I have made up my mind to start processing now.
How do I go about it from the scratch
I have Hnd in accounting also part qualified ICAN with 13years work experience
Female, married with 3 kids
Please what's the fastest route to migrate to Canada within a year.
I will appreciate any recruitment or study agency here in Nigeria
Thanks

With your experience you should be looking at an advanced diploma program in accounting. As for your husband and kids you'll have to exclude them from your application so they can serve as your home ties. You can always apply for them to come and join you but that will cost you a lot of money in terms of proof of funds for a family of 4. If you had an msc degree I would have suggested express entry to begin with.

I'll also advice that you look into provinces with decent living expenses and good immigration pathways like Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the likes.

dreamchaser13:
Can someone please put me through, I just want to start up from the scratch. I've gotten my intl passport. What's next?

Lol bro you need an admission letter also from a Canadian DLI institute.

Hi Guys, just got admission for MBA at Vancouver Island University, The fees was like 38k when applying now its 50k+. Anybody else have a better alternative for MBA? I dont want MUN

Try Thompson Rivers university MBA program. It's 30kcad if you qualify for the Program directly.

Laurendee:
Please is a post baccalaureate diploma and a post graduate certificate the same?

Also how many years pgwp is given for a 20 month course

They both have similarities. They are post graduate programs that require a post secondary qualification (Bsc). The post baccalaureate acts as a bridge to further graduate programs and also helps in adding extra credits to the previously acquired Bsc degree. It is most suitable for non-business degree holders who went to acquire knowledge in a business Field. For example engineering graduate who want to study business administration can do a post baccalaureate program.

The Graduate Certificate is similar to an Msc program just a little streamlined, doesn't require a thesis and less expensive compared to an msc program.

The 2 programs also guarantee a PGWP( Post graduate work permit)

tosiiNO:
Hi guys.
Is it possible for me to show that I run a mobile kitchen business as proof of ties even when I'm going to study for an HRM course?

Yes definitely. Especially if you claim to be self employed.

Good morning gurus.
I have been trying to download the application forms from the CIC website for days now it keeps giving me error message and asking me to upgrade my acrobat reader. I tried to upgrade they keep saying I have the latest version.
Pls i need advice.

see the message it keep given me bellow:

You need to download the official CIC PDF viewer/editor which is "Adobe DC Reader" or any compatible adobe version. When you download it you'll be able to view the IMM documents

Efizzi:


Many thanks. I didn't like the reviews I got from Thompson rivers, but maybe I will try Saint Mary's now.

Thompson Rivers university is a good school although it's a small city compared to the larger cities. If you are coming to Canada and don't want to get overwhelmed then TRU is a good option.

Electroweb:
Hello experts in the house,
I have gotten admission. I want to apply for study permit and I want my family to accompany and stay with me in Canada. How do I go about this?

If you have good finances then you can apply if not I'll suggest you come in first and after your first semester you can apply for your spouse via open work permit and get the required funds necessary

Donbigi2:
Hi. I'm looking for a masters course in statistical and machine learning (or any data science course) only one I found is in university of alberta but its thesis based. I want to be able to work full time during breaks and network well for possible employment after school. Pls any one know a school with course based masters in computer (data science)?

I don't think you can really predict the outcome of the type of job you get during holidays. Almost everyone works fulltime during holidays (summer and winter) that also depends on the shifts you get. Regarding your program choice there are different schools. Use the "find masters" website and you'll find.

Hi, nairalanders.
I have been having issues concerning a course to apply for. Can anyone please suggest related Pgd/C courses I can apply for with a B.Sc in Sociology? I'll really appreciate this. Thank you very much guys

Sociology is a broad field. The field you decide to specialize in should be based on your supposed previous studies. You can choose specialized fields ranging from Public administration, Care giver programs, psychology, human resource management etc... You just have to find the perfect program and provide a good nexus between the program and your work experience in your SOP(Study plan)

P.s: I'll advice you go for something related to care giving. It's a lot of money here in Canada. If you can come in and do small certificate programs in First Aid, CPR, food safe etc... Then you'll definitely get a good job.

AKALAMAGBO:
Good day my fellow Nairalanders (specifically the Gurus), I need your advice as to how I can apply for a Postgraduate Course in Canada. I graduated with 2.40 ( lower credit ), I’m actually planning to write IELTS by next month, prior to next month, which universities can I apply to, for that kind of my low CGP? I studied Physics Education ( BSc Ed)!! Are there any universities in Canada offering Educational courses, nevertheless, what other courses can I apply for?

Thank you

Your CGPA qualifies you for Diploma, Advanced Diploma and some graduate certificate program if you can prove you have enough work experience in your field. Also the IELTS will also count in your favor.

P.s: I'll advice you apply for education programs in Colleges and try and check the competitiveness status of the program before hand.

odinkaru:


Thank you. Considering this, how much should I fill in the funds available for stay section?

That should be the total breakdown of all your expenses such as tuition and living expenses for one year.

toogbasky:
3.74

You should try graduate certificate programs.
