Good afternoon house please I did my biometrics on the 19th of April 2023 and on the the 4th of may they sent me a message that my application status has changes. I was asked to sign in to Gckey account to check the changes bt my agent said he could not open the message. Since then till now I have not received any other message from the embassy and my school will start on the 6th of September2023. Please I'm really worried, can someone tell me what could be the problem?.

Sometimes, IRCC do send updates about an event which may not reflect on your profile; but if a message is received, it must be in a pdf file which is always available for download in your profile. I think you should clarify with your representative (only RCIC licensed individuals are agents) whether this is an update or a message.

Kindly invite your representative (only RCIC licensed individuals are agents) for a meeting and have a discussion about what you want; the followings are your rights;

1. You should know your application number and UCI number.
2. You should have access to all messages IRCC may send to you.
3. If the agent is not a RCIC, you should get your GC Key log in details and you should not be denied access to your GC Key account at any time.
4. Your legitimate interest should be the priority; you reserve the right to listen to advice. You may (or may not) choose to listen to the advice.

If at any moment any of these rights is infringed upon, you should feel there is a foul play. If you are convinced this is true, you can take a legal action against such an individual.

Good afternoon to everyone on the thread,

Would like to commend everyone that gives solutions here. You guys are the best.

I have some troubling issues about this Canada japa and I hope i will be able to get assistance here.

I applied for my study permit around January and got a refusal, basically the generic refusal. So, I asked the agent I was using to request for my ATIP.

When I got it, this was when I knew there was problem, lol let me list the concerns.

1. PA used his father as sponsor. 3 account only 1 way clear (with modest money)
2. PA did not submit is personal account (agent said it wasn't necessary since my father's account had enough money in it.)
3. Us visa refusal was wont disclosed, so not truthful (Because i travel to UAE, UK and other European countries Agent didn't ask me if I have ever been refused visa, wahala) Was still on vacation in UK last Aug/Sept.
4. Applicant doesn't seem to be a genuine student and not returning after stipulated time.


I deferred my admission to January 2024 at Conestoga college, I had made payment of the 1st year tuition fee (I even over paid, didn't deduct the initial deposit when i wanted to pay the tuition, so I have C$1,500 extra in tuition fee for first year which the college acknowledged)
Got a GIC of C$13,000 for living expenses (All was attached to my initial application) which with the school fees haven't been touched.

For the new POF I want to attach a treasury bill of NG14,000,000 but in my wife's name as she is a staff at CBN and NG10,000,000 in my name which includes 5 million gift deed from my father).

The issues how do I address:

The non-disclosure of us visa (I can get the refusal dates but not the full reason but my reason for applying was for vacations, my younger brother lives there). The las US visa refusal was like 2013.

One last thing, I didn't include I had a master's degree from UK (finished 2011) in my earlier application because Agent advice that it's a red flag since i was going for PGD in Canada. (This one was self-inflicted).

so that's where i stand in a nutshell. I beg i need the guru's advice. I want to reapply ending this month/ latest mid next month.

thank you for going through my wahala. Thank you all.

@Zubizareta and all the other guru, please assist

I wish to ask if you have found out whether or not you have been issued Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL).

Also, applying for a PGD after having a master's degree is not in any way a red flag. It is purely a myth.

For POF, you need nothing more than $3,000 for miscellaneous expenses if you are the only one travelling. The important thing is just to explain your sources of GIC funds, school fee and lump sums if any.

This is only my thought. It may not be good for you.

I need to see the evidence to believe. GIC for international students are for those living legally in countries participating in Student Direct Stream SDS program.

https://www.td.com/ca/en/personal-banking/solutions/student-banking/international-student-gic

The countries are China, India,Brazil, and some other countries. Nigeria is not among. Any Nigerian doing it would have to be a legal resident of these countries. This is what I saw on all Canadian bank website.

If you have evidence to show otherwise, please show me cos I'm interested in doing GIC for my sibling

Your information is correct based on theory but not entirely correct based on practical.

To be direct, CIBC is the only bank in Canada that is currently providing GIC to non-SDS applicants who are non-residents of Canada.

SDS applicants might submit GIC as a requirement, Nigerians have used it based on choice.

If you are interested in getting one done for your sibling, kindly contact CIBC, they will direct you on how to open the account.

Thank you Sir

Tuberculosis was suspected.... You can use a combination of Isoniazid and Rifapentine consistently before your next appointment to suppress it or talk to your Doctor.

Stop and do not use a drug yet, read my comment above. 👆

Pristine664:
Tuberculosis was suspected.... You can use a combination of Isoniazid and Rifapentine consistently before your next appointment to suppress it or talk to your Doctor.

Your information is good but kindly let me add some:

(S)he doesn't need to talk to another doctor because the sputum test was recommended by a qualified doctor-- panel physician-- unless (s)he has been coughing persistently for at least 2 weeks coupled with feverish conditions.

(S)he should not take any drug yet unless the test has been concluded. Even if there is any need, (s)he will be directed to a DOT center where free drugs can be dispensed. The drugs you mentioned above cannot be legally bought over the counter.

Also, I do not believe this thread will be better served if prescription of drugs is done on this thread as this is not in tandem with the objective for which this thread is created.

While I understand that you are trying to help, kindly pardon if this has caused any discomfort.

Good evening! Greetings to y'all.
I have been a follower of this noble forum for years now but because of finance l never put in application... Now God bless me with the finance to do it.

I m just coming back from iom now after the x-ray l was told that l need to do SPUTUM TEST for 3days. Honestly l m down ...medically l never vist hospital for admission before . I am so worried 😟 right now. Because l m applying for SOWP.

Please house help me abeg. What do l need to do before going to iom on Monday .

What is SPUTUM TEST all about?

Wii these now slow my wife application?

Please?, make una help me. Right now l just de cry since
Thanks y'all

Do not despair, it is just a suspicion of the presence of TB bacteria. It doesn't necessarily mean you have TB; you may have had TB cured in the past-- even as far back as 25 years ago.

When you are infected by TB, the bacteria makes some markings on your lungs, the markings cannot go even after 25 years. This is what is seen by the X-ray.

The purpose of the sputum test is to confirm whether the TB bacteria exists-- active or latent.

Just prepare for a journey of at least 3 months because the sputum will be incubated for around 3 months (9 weeks - 12 weeks) after which you will be called for "confirmatory" X-ray test. If everything goes normal, you will be cleared.

Even if you are cleared, when you get to Canada, you will still be required to do another X-ray and have a consultation with a doctor in Canada.

Just to help someone here. DO NOT USE MICROFINANCE BANK FOR YOUR POF. Do not even use it to support your application

You can use but in different context.

ShowYoung: While GCMS notes is the true source of getting the main reason you were refused visa based on financial resources, I can deduce from what you wrote here, coupled with some questions which if asked will not be in your favour, that your application has some flaws.

AlNur:
Exactly. She should use an experienced agent to reapply. I don’t think it’s wise to wait for GCMS note before reapplying.

While I understand that you are entitled to your opinion and I sincerely respect it, I'd rather you make your opinion known without riding on mine because your opinion doesn't tally with mine and has no connection in any way with what I posted.

There is no where I put that it's unwise to wait for GCMS notes before reapplying.

peregrinus:
Good evening everyone!

I have been reading some posts here and its been so helpful. So here are my concerns,... I have BSc in Computer Science and currently I'm into business. However, I got an offer from CBBC College to study continuing care assistance, which is unrelated to my career. What are my chances of getting study permit if I go for this program or I need to go for something related to educational background and experience? Please I need someone to advise me on this. Thanks

Kind regards

Firstly, CBBC College is a career college and is not PGWP-eligible. This will not enable you to qualify for Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) after your study.

Also, career progression is crucial but what you have chosen is not impossible to come by. It should be noted that it will be difficult to link the course with your career and/or educational background.

You can check list of PGWP eligible institutions here at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

Thank you so much. I see now...I will wait for the GCMS note and work on all the mistakes I made earlier with the POF.

If you had applied prior to June 16 or before the harmonized exchange rate was introduced, you might not have needed up to that amount.

I wish you good luck in your endeavours.

May06:
Thank you so much. Please see my answers below:

Question 1 on POF as follows : (1) Land docs worth 23M ; (2) 37M cash ; (3) Car docs worth 1.5 and Jewelry worth 400k.

Question 2 on Home ties : (1) Business incorporation documents, (2) Letter showing Leave from business , (3) letter of study leave received from office job ( I have a 9 to 5 as well) and (4) Parents and siblings (In hindsight, I realized the agent didnt submit the birth certificates of my parents & siblings, he just mentioned them in the SOP)

Question 3 on Other documents

Police certificate
Admission letter for a full time Msc program showing program duration which is 2 years
Proof of part payment of tuition (7900Cad out of total of 47000CAD)
Completed biometrics

I did NOT submit
Medicals (not yet requested)
Flight tickets

Usable POF is only 37m cash. Others fall under home ties.

This is how much you needed.

1. Tuition fee $47,000.
2. Living expenses for applicant $20,000 ($10,000/yr).
3. Living expenses for spouse $8,000.
4. Living expenses for child $6,000.
5. Miscellaneous expenses $5000+.
SUB TOTAL : $86,000.
Tuition deposit ($7,900)
TOTAL: $78,100 (NGN 46,860,000 if $1/600) if you submitted after June 16 or when the harmonized exchange rate was introduced, whichever comes early.

Alternatively, if you had proven a means of financing your education through to the second year if you showed a continuous source of finance, POF of the first year might have been used for you.

This is my thought and not a professional advice. Thanks.

Guys please do I need a visa for a layover at Paris (Charles De Gaulle)

If your stop over is just in Paris only, you need no visa: but if it's involving two countries in Schengen, you need a visa.

May06:
Hello everyone, please I would like to seek your advice on my student visa application. Thank you as you take the time to read and share your opinion on my predicament.

I got admission for my masters program and applied for a student visa last month. I applied with my husband and a child. I used an agent and I believe the agent submitted all the necessary documents to support the application. The agent is quite reputable, that was why I used him. IRCC refused the application in less one month on the basis of insufficient funds and lack of home ties. Now that the application has been refused, I am confused as to what went wrong because I believe I met the funds requirement for a family of three. The agent has applied for GCMS notes and I have decided to apply alone as the academic program will resume in October. I hear the GCMS notes takes a long time but I have been advised to submit another application soon without my family for now. Would you advise me to : (1) wait to collect the GCMS notes before applying again so that I can get details on the reason for refusal OR (2) take the advise and apply again quickly focusing on addressing the two issues raised in the refusal letter I received from IRCC? Please advise, thank you so much.

It might seem like a predicament but it is not. It might just be that something is yet to be addressed. GCMS note will give you a bird-eye view of what went south.

Listen to your agent if (s)he is of good repute as you said and I am assuming (s)he is licensed. No matter how reputable an agent may be, (s)he is not immune to visa denial. If you trust him/her, do not blame him. No one can guarantee success.

All we do here is provide information based on individual's experience with IRCC and information on their website. No one is perfect and a professional.

Preliminary Questions to do Analysis
1. You said you are sure that you had sufficient POF, can you provide more information here-- tuition fee, duration of program etc.
2. What form was your POF in? E.g sponsorship, loan, fixed deposit etc. They look at form of POF too and not just the value.
3. What home ties did you provide?
4. What documents did you submit?

Kindly answer the questions above so you can see where you have possibly not addressed well. Meanwhile, I am just asking based on what I think and should not be taken as a professional advise.

alphabbey1:
I just find it strange you are asking this kind of question, but just to answer you specifically, Yes, all Universities in both US and Canada accept BSC... what's even one of the requirement to study masters if not Bsc ?...

Is there any university in this world that doesn't accept Bsc for masters program.? I'll be glad to learn if there is actually...

Upon asking you the same question many times, it is quite clear you do not understand my question. You either misinterpreted my question and gave yourself an answer or intentionally are trying to manipulate the question just to avoid the truth.

You should know that the following sentences are different to each other:
1. Do all universities accept ALL BACHELOR DEGREES FOR MASTERS PROGRAM?
2. Do all universities accept BACHELOR DEGREES FOR MASTERS PROGRAM?

My question is the first one and not the second one. Anyways, I do not expect you to give an answer because you have not been able to many times before.

How can two constructively argue when one cannot or has refused to understand a sentence?

I think I will pass at this stage.

DMCY:
Please can anybody help with name of schools for pgd that accepts third class? I’ve searched and searched but all to no avail.

You may not find an institution that will state specifically that they accept 3rd class as an admission requirement. You just have to play some game with your letter of motivation and job experience by applying to more than one institution. You may want to consider colleges or universities that are less competitive and are not rigid in their admission requirements.

Some are not very much rigid on your academic qualification grades; they consider more than your academic qualification and grades.

zubizareta:
Tuition 35 600
Living expenses 20,000
Dependants 15,000
Miscellaneous 8,000

Total: 78,600

As for the SOP, you can get professional help. You can mail me for that.

Your information is accurate; kindly let me add that dependants' living and miscellaneous expenses can be adjusted to be $14,000 and $5,000 respectively making the total to be $74,600. Although it is safe to have it inflated a bit.

HonourableJoe:
Good analysis @ShowYoung.

I could say easily your data could be correct for US and UK but from your writeup, you aren't giving so much abt Canada.

Now let me say this, Canada see your OND, HND as 3 years post secondary Diploma.
&
PGD as 1year graduate Certificate.


This is according to IQAS which is a recognized body for evaluation in Canada.

The attached document is from IQAS evaluation.

If its okay by you, drop names of schools and courses that admits HND for Masters in Canada.

Thank you very much for attesting that HND is assessed to be equivalent of Canadian PGD. I only didn't want to show credential assessment because of privacy reason. At least I have seen 3 from WES, IQAS, ICES that belong to people that I know.

I will like if you can assist post the picture where it is stated that HND is equal to PGD too aside the 3 year diploma so it will be clearer and there won't be unnecessary argument on that again.

I agree with you HND = 3 year diploma + PGD.

For Canada, HND (distinction) was accepted for Master of Social Work by Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Also attached is another credential assessment from WES which assessed HND to be equivalent of Canadian PostGrad Cert.

Kindly help with this profile my lovely people:

Primary applicant: Father (45 years old)
OND & HND in media studies (journalism; upper credit)
year of graduation: 2009
intend year of study: 2024 (any intake)

work experience:
Sales rep in a pharmacy: 3 years 2010 - 2013
Personal Business(trading in building materials) 2013 to 2023 (10years)


Preferred Courses of study(flexible and open for change or suggestions):
desired course of study: 1st choice- Post graduate certificate or Post graduate diploma in Project management (1 year duration)

2nd choice of course- Health care assistant or Personal support worker or care giver (1 year certificate program NOT PGDiploma)


Desired course of study: 1st choice: Project management


which of these program choices will guarantee visa and admissions in Canada? any recommended school as a Nigerian applicant?


Relocating with wife and 5 children. 2 of the children are under 5 while the other three are above 5 years old, none is up to 18years old. (will the children apply for same study permit or visiting visa??) What is the best way to go about the study permit application for a higher chance of securing the study permit for the entire family??

Proof of funds is not an issue though: 75m naira in the corporate account and 25m in personal account. But he does not pay himself from the business monthly......he runs the business with few staff (3 workers).

Home ties: 6 duplexes in different locations and over 10 undeveloped plots of land in choice locations in Nigeria, key leader of his church, his company.


Kindly look into this profile and give your professional advice on how to go about the admission and study permit for the main applicant and his family.

I appreciate you all for your priceless contributions.

Many thanks!

Firstly, kindly note that my posts are not professional advice. They are my thoughts. They may not be good for you.

Your second choice will be difficult to prove with respect to career progression.

For the first choice, you will also need to relate project management with your career. Although PGCert or PGDip will be the best.

Visa application success is not dependent on one factor but many.

Some of these factors are:
1. Home Ties.
2. Financial Sufficiency.
3. Career/Academic Progression.
4. Presentation.
5. Purpose of Visit among many others.

This is not a professional advice but my thought only.

Julietogelekac:
thanks a lot ,they both state two years, the only differences is that the PGCert is awarding two certificates for the course ( Human Resources, marketing and entrepreneurship), while the MSC is MBA

The PGCert may be 1 + 1 programs, while the MBA is a straight 2 year program.

Please choose the one you like most, but if I were you, I would choose MBA.

macdeeza:
kind of hard to agree with what you have put down here. For a masters program, you will need a 4 year degree cert. Nigerian HND is a two year program. so where will you get the remaining credit to make it a 4 year program. For a Masters program in Canada, HND is assessed independent of OND, not with OND. For each school, go to the country specific requirements and no where is HND listed as a qualifying cert. for applicants from Nigeria Dont confuse Nigeria's HND with those from other countries. In the eyes of Oyibo, Nigerian HND is treated as a two year post sec. certificate.

Your are entitled to your opinion. I have stated out what I know and am sure of. You don't have to agree.

You are the one confusing yourself and others with the bolded. If it weren't for the fact that this place is for the sake of information seeker, I will not engage in this argument.

I don't argue without evidence and data. What you need to do as an educated person is to ask for evidence, debunk the evidence through another evidence or agree that those universities in the UK, US, Australia etc that accept HND to master's program are not standard or don't know what they are doing.

You can even add that WES Canada do not know what they are doing for them to assess HND as equivalent of Canadian PostGrad Cert.

You can even say Canadian colleges and universities are not standard for accepting HND to at least Post Grad studies where no two year post secondary diploma is acceptable.

Evidence

1. HND is assessed to be equivalent to PostGrad Cert by WES Canada (You will ask for evidence)

2. People have secured admission to master's degree in Canada using HND (Distinction)-- You will ask for the evidence.

3. Someone has secured admission to a PhD program directly in the US. Please ask for evidence.

4. People have secured master's degree admission with HND in Nigeria, the UK, the US, Benin, Togo etc. Please work with data and ask for evidence.

5. HND is not regarded as a 2 year diploma-- I will show you evidence. HND is acceptable for PostGrad Diploma and PostGrad Cert admissions in Canada where no 2 year post secondary diploma is acceptable. I have provided you reason, I challenge you to ask for evidence.

I challenge you to come out and provide evidence and do not just issue words of mouth.

Word of mouth can lie, may be wrong, inconsistent and incorrect, but data can never lie.

Let us work with data.

Julietogelekac:
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the effort you put into replying this .please would you say MSC is better than PGC ?

What is your yardstick for comparison?

Academically, MSc is higher and better than PGCert.

When it comes to post graduate study within a short period of time, some PGCerts take a shorter time to complete and can quickly launch you into labour force.

Check your POF against the duration of each program. Also, compare the cost. You will be able to choose between the two.

DMCY:
Are there any canada universities that take third class for masters? Or better still for premasters? Not asking for anybody but for myself.

No. I have not seen one for masters.

For pre-master, I have also not seen one but you may inquire from different universities.

Julietogelekac:
Please I need help and advice. I had admissions for a master program in Canada west Vancouver
And Post-Graduate Certificate in Trent.
I want to choose the MSc instead of PGC because I believe is a higher qualification
But my agent said I should rather choose PGC instead of master because the approval rate for family of 4 going for MSc is low compare to PGC.
Meaning the success rate for PGC is higher than MSC for someone going with family
Please everyone how true is this I beg I need a quick answer please before I pay my tuition fees please 🙏

Success rate is not tied to whether you choose PGC or master's degree. Your situation which is dependent on many factors determines your success rate.

Some of these factors are:
1. Home Ties.
2. Purpose of Study.
3. Financial Sufficiency.
4. Academic/Career Progression.
5. Accuracy on presentation etc.

alphabbey1:
You've provided Zero Data so far... not disputing there are schools accepting HND directly to masters, there are many, lots of them, but the fact you cannot say "all universities" accept HND directly to masters and PHD is the issue here....

And Yes to your bolded question. ALL universities accept Bsc directly to masters. The "all Bachelor's degree" you put in the question might be tricky, I wouldn't know what you are trying to express here...

One thing I ask of which I seek answer to is "Do all Universities in Canada and USA accept HND for Masters and PHD" ?

Thanks for accepting that HND is acceptable for masters, and even PhD, directly by some universities. At least you are forced to accept that based on data presented.

The bolded in your post quoted above is your question and your answer. It is never mine. You cannot ask yourself a question and give yourself an answer.

Kindly read my question again, try to understand it and give a honest answer. I repeat-- do all universities in Canada and the US accept all bachelors' degrees for masters directly ?

To answer your question, you need to honestly answer the question above. No rewriting or changing of the meaning of my question!

alphabbey1:
Everything you said still doesn't indicate HND is higher than Bsc... No way anyone is falling for that... If your statement is true, then All Universities in US and Canada should be Accepting HND directly for masters.... kindly explain why this is not so

Do all universities in the US and Canada accept all bachelor's degree for masters directly?

This will tell you they look beyond your academic qualifications. I have been giving you data to back up my arguments but you have not provided one.

Those that do accept HND directly for masters and even PhD are not incompetent or unwise. They quite know what they are doing.

Perhaps you want a list of universities in the US, the UK and Australia that accept HND to master's degree programs directly, I will be willing to share if you want it.

CanJ:
Please my guru help me out now it is urgent
I needed to respond to IRCC now. I just got response from Niagara college. The just gave me revalidation the LOA and extend the due date. So how should I package it to IRCC now

You have conquered. Webform and emails are good ways to communicate with them. Also, check the letter sent to you, medium of communication may be stated there. They might require you to upload a document through your account.

1. Narrate how it went and what has changed.
2. Narrate to them that the former LOA is original but was rendered void because you failed to meet the deadline for tuition deposit payment which was due to foreign exchange issue in Nigeria.
3. Show them the correspondences between you and the college-- the mail trail will serve this purpose.
4. Narrate to them that you have now been given a new LOA.
5. Show proofs of your efforts to make payment for the tuition deposit.
6. Tell them what you are doing to make the payment now.
7. Many more as deemed necessary.

Ensure each of the points above are in separate paragraphs.

Kindly note that this is my thought, it may not be correct and should not be taken as a piece of advice. It may not be good for you.

alphabbey1:
I dont really want this to turn into an argument bro, just that The fact that you want to bring evidence to prove no 6 should let you know there's no iota of truth in putting Hnd above Bsc. And no 3 is a free pass for Bsc holder. Every Bsc holder I know on scholarship in US are on PHD...

HND can have higher point in Express Entry because OND+HND is considered 2 or more degree, but I tell you that most Canadian universities do not see it in same view...

And for the HND person you know admitted into PHD, go and check the person's quantity and quality of project Research and publication.....

Unconstructive arguments occur when there is no data to back it up.

If you have a good data, kindly share here so everyone can learn.

For the HND holder that got admitted to a PhD program directly, would (s)he have been easily given a chance to go for a master's degree in Nigeria irrespective of research and job experience not to talk of a PhD program? The US universities are not like us! They know the worth! Your last paragraph connotes an attestation to HND being accepted for a PhD admission without a master's degree.

I say it again, HND is assessed to be equivalent to PGCert by WES Canada and other ECA bodies in Canada. I will like if you can debunk this is not true and that PGCert is not higher than Bachelor Degree in Canada.

In the past, people have gained admission into master's degree programs in Canada using HND. It is because people don't want to be wasting money on application fees HND holders are advised to go for PGCert. Even, bachelor's degrees 2:2-- and some 2:1 below 71%-- are not acceptable for master's degree programs in Canada. We know this. It doesn't make them inferior.

I say it again, if your HND is strong (distinction), please go for master's degree.

You should see yourself as having a better qualification and be bold.

In the UK, the US, Australia, Benin, Togo et al, they accept Nigerian HND to master's degree program direct.

alphabbey1:
You might want to rephrase this coz I don't think there's any country ranking HND higher than Bsc...

That is what you think, but I am telling you what I know and am sure of.

Reasons and Proofs

1. HND is assessed to be equivalent to PostGrad. Cert. by WES Canada.

2. If PostGrad. Cert is higher than Bachelor Degree, then HND is higher than Bachelor Degree.

3. Recently, an HND holder got admission to a PhD-- Doctoral Degree-- program in a US university direct without having a Bachelor's or Master's Degree.

4. In Express Entry, HND gets 22 points, Bachelor Degree gets 20 points.

5. You should also note that Nigerian HND is higher than and different from the UK HND based on course load and credit units.

6. I can mention at least 10 UK universities accepting HND direct to master's degree programs. Also, I can mention at least 5 US universities accepting HND direct to master's degree programs.

7. You may want to ask for more evidence if the ones above are not satisfactory enough.

doublestar21:
Wait ooo. I was preparing for pof of 14m. Do I have to have the pof of the whole 4 years in my account before leaving?. Let's me assume the figure you used before which is 18k annual can't 14m serve as proof of funnd?

Secondly, the two years course you talk about, what certificate will they offer me? And is the two years course done in university or college.

Lastly if college will issue me diploma, don't you think they might deny me visa reason being going from (diploma) HND in Nigeria to another diploma again in Canada.

Sorry for stressing you with my questions .

Firstly, your 14m is not enough for a one-year program if the tuition fee is more than $11.5k; because as of now, the official CBN rate is $1/599.6-- that is, 1 Canadian Dollar is equal to around 600 Naira.

Why go for a diploma when you can go for a post graduate diploma or post graduate certificate? Note that diploma courses are usually 2 years. Your funds cannot even cater for a one-year year program not to talk of going for a two-year course. PGD/PGC usually take from 8 months or more.

You should note that HND is higher than Diploma, Associate Degree and Advance Diploma.

In Canada, HND is higher than Bachelor Degree because it is assessed to be equal to Post Graduate Certificate by WES.

alphabbey1:
Your POF is only decent for a one year program. Not sufficient for a 2 years programme, not to talk of 4 years... You might want to check latest exchange rate

NGN 14M is not enough for a one-year program if the tuition fee is more than $11,500.

Hardly will you find a Post Graduate program for less than or equal to $11,500.

The agent helped to get the admission.
The agent said that the admission has been cancelled now because I don't pay the school fees before the time schedule. But is that how they do?

It is my understanding that you must abide by the conditions stated in your LOA.

Let me ask you one more question.

Did the agent submit the visa application knowing that you have not paid the tuition deposit or you asked him/her to submit without the tuition deposit?

I don't want to trigger a panic in you. Note that failure to provide reasonable explanation may result in a ban. Yes, that is a ban due to misrepresentation that is about to be issued to you. You will do well to address it.
