Hi,

Your cousin can't go for a Masters in Canada due to his 2.2 Grade, the minimum qualification for Masters in Canada is 2.2.

- His best shot is to go for a
PG. Cert in Banking & Finance Related Program
or
a PG. Cert in an Haulage related program in Canadian Colleges.

Based on his work experience in HAULAGE
a PG. Cert in SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT seems perfect for him

- Also there is no scholarship for PG. Cert programs.

- That 7k as tuition for skooling in Canada is very low, as an International Student, you pay more, you should be looking at 14k upward as tuition fee for International Students, it can also be more than that depending on the skool & PG. cert program your cousin wanna go for, in a NUTSHELL, Financial Readiness is very important

- After your cousin apply to a college & gain the admission & has gotten his Letter of Acceptance(LOA) for a PG.Cert program, then the content in the link below is his plug

For further questions, ask & members in house gonna respond

honestly I don't know why you guys keep saying when someone has 2.2 he can't get admission for master's. I know people who had 2.2 and with there experience and sop they got admission, rather you can say let him apply for both pgd and masters in different schools and see the outcome

I........

I just emailed you.

Chikaima18:
Hello everyone, please Is Post degree diploma acceptable and can be counted as moving forward after BSc for someone that graduated with a 2:2? Thank you

some university can even give admission with 2.2 for master's and some pgd

Hello @Fratermathy, my colleague and friend all through the journey Lagos airport to Toronto. Rebecca has said it all. I am also cooling off now after the long wait to join the flight to St. John's. Apparently, Rebecca was on the same flight with me till St. John's that I thought I was the only black man on board that very night.

Canadian are very friendly people I must confess, I had no stress, not even was my baggage checked. The protocol at the immigration was less than 10minutes for me. I was only asked if I have paid my tuition with receipt to show, arriveCAN on my phone and LOA. That's it, my study permit was issued.

Finally, at St. John's, someone was already waiting to pick me as assigned by the MUN Internationalization office who happened to be a Nigerian and a Yoruba man as well, easy was the ride as I found myself sitter alone in the owners corner of a 2018 Toyota Camry taxi.

Nice. I'd see you soon in Memorial.


Please for those going to Memorial in 2021, please indicate so we know ourselves.

Complete landing gist

I flew from Uyo to Lagos on Tuesday evening and I stayed with a family friend for the night. I arrived the airport around 10am for a flight of 1.40pm. I thought I was early until I saw the queue. Quick tip: even if your flight is for 6pm, get to the airport around 12pm and stay there till they are ready for you .

Ethiopian airlines usually do manual verifications of all students travelling to Canada. You really need to be there on time for this because the man doing it is slow and doesn't care about your time. He asked for proof of enrollment, admission letter, ArriveCAN slip, and visa page. Please make at least two copies of all of these too. After showing him, he'll snap and then send to someone via WhatsApp to verify. Once confirmed, your passport will be given a number and you'll then proceed to where it will be scanned again for secondary verification. After this stage, you will then go to where you can get a boarding pass.

The plane left Lagos around 2pm. I was seated at the back and had space to stretch legs . We got to Addis Ababa around 7pm (Nigeria time) and then we entered a long queue for onward movement. From Addis Ababa, we went to Dublin for refueling and then to Toronto. Upon arrival, we talk a long walk (very long o) and got to immigration people. The woman that attended to me asked for these (in the following order):
1. Declaration slip (will be given to you in the airplane)
2. Passport
3. LOI
4. Student Status letter (enrolment letter)
5. School fees/tuition receipt
6. ArriveCAN page (apparently, I didn't even fill my own well and was delayed for a while. Make sure you fill yours well)
7. POF
8. LOA

She asked me the following:
Which department were you admitted into?
Why did you choose MUN?
What is your name?

Then she took my finger prints and issued me a Study Permit for 3 years (my program is for 2 years but I don't know why it was issued in excess).

I went to wait board a St John's flight after a long wait at the airport. Got to St. John without qualms. Reach my apartment, checked in and slept off.


Exams start on Monday. Canada is beautiful and nice. I love the place. Good luck to all who are applying or will soon come.

It has ended in praises.

thanks for the update. God bless

I'm in St. John's now after 20 hours of flight from Lagos to St John's via Addis Ababa, Dublin, and Toronto. I was so tired that I just entered my room and slept off. I couldn't even celebrate my landing. Gist is loading soon...

wow. Thank God for safe journey, can't wait for the gist

Finally, my passport in the palms of my hands!!!

See devil at work... Dispatch arrives, mistake made on the phone number written on the package, ...44 instead of...94. Dispatch calls number and that one says he doesn't have any business with UPS. Mogbe!!! In fact, dispatch already updated tracking site as 'no one to receive package' something like that.
Fortunately, someone saw dispatch rider as he was about leaving and ask which address he was looking for and gave him the correct number (my angel). Long story short, Nigerian passport hasn't been so beautiful as it is to me right now.

Thanks to everyone who has been of help here. I found this thread after submitting my application but this platform taught me everything I know about the process after submission. Frank, justwise etc God bless you all.
To everyone looking forward to a day like this, heaven will open up to you and your joy will rain down on you heavily.

Oya make I go pack my load finish, I hear the cold no be here for Kamloops right now.

Congrats. Amen

Please guys, does anyone know of a convenient way of getting the best forex rates to pay tuition? Western Union is pretty high, and Schools these days don't give out banking details to enable using CBN Form A.

Thanks

I heard western union has been suspended. Form A you need invoice, for me I used someone who is Canada to help me pay with his card

Nov 5th applicant, just received NSE letter this morning.

Good morning gurus, my bank (first bank) is not on the mybankstatement platform hence I intend to go to the bank and ask them to courier my bank statement directly to Canadian embassy in Lagos. Am I on the right track?

congrats. it shall be my testimony soon. IJN. AMEN

I swear, what ielts is doing to me is not fair. After paying then the guy is calling me to tell me it full that I should select 11th, something that I'd be working on Friday and I chose Saturday because I'd be free. Now it's me he saw to tell that rubbish too. It's not fair � �

recxa:
I just wrote mine yesterday. Computer based. Omo! I'm so anxious ehn

please I need advice oo. I'm writing cbt on 12th

Japh11:
Information!!!
Those that are coming to Canada. Endeavour to come with your school enrollment verification and school fee payment print out/receipt. This is very very much important. Without the enrollment verification from your school to show you enrolled for the program, they might refuse your travel. And they also ask for the school fee receipt when before issuing you your study permit.

which one is enrollment verification letter again??

Good evening everyone. Honestly I don't even know what's going on oo, after thinking it's just ielts left for me, now they're talking of proof of funding at the airport. Honestly it's not easy. BTW I'm writing my ielts academic on the 12th, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Good evening everyone. I just made payment for ielts exams, although I registered yesterday and it's to expire after 48 hours and can't be reactivated. So when I emailed them they said they work only Monday to Friday 9-4pm. Now I don't know whether if my application would be terminated.

safe journey. See you there

Who would have thought VFS would keep my passport for over a month? I didn't see this coming at all. My course mates even got me a welcome to St. John's package but they'd have to keep it till next week. I had everything well planned and made these plans one month ago. Here I am today, at the mercy of VFS. It is well. Akan owo ikanna abasi. Everything is in God's hands. The worst part is already over.

are you going to memorial?

Good morning everyone. For those that have written ielts online for academic. Please where did u get your past questions. Please I need reply on this. I'm writing mine on saturday next week and I want to start preparing please.
