Thanks for the response
Since there's a difference, should I email the school again and tell them if after getting trv and study permit, Is that when I can go ahead with payment of tuition fees?

Pls house what's the difference between study permit and trv
My sch said I shud not pay fees until I get study permit
Can I use the email attached to apply for visa or resend a new email to the grad coordinator to ask if I shud not pay tuition fees until I get the trv

TO GOD BE THY GLORY. If you know that God's testimonies will never seize here and in your house hold please wherever you are help me praise the LORD. God did it this morning. I checked my CIC account and my heart was like gheghegheghegheghegh because I saw "A final decision has been made" check below. Gurus and everyone I could not scroll down for like 10min on till I gathered courage and behold I saw......Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details...... I just jump out of the office and hug the first person I saw and I started praising God. God is Awesome my people.

Lesson learnt is that,
1. first timer please endeavor to read past thread even when its lengthy try to read am as if you are jacking a course of 6 credit load. I did and it pays off now that I could seek for my admission and TRV myself with the help of God and The wonderful Gurus in the house.

2. After that please be sincere and have faith in God. Never think negative about your application.
3. Loads of Prayers and Fasting. as for me I fast every Tuesdays and pray with my wife everyday because it was on a Tuesday I submitted my TRV application.....Lol.

God is faithful.
Am really indebted to God and to the Gurus I met here. thanks @MichV, Yemmdogg, folaroyal, TheSoj, Mcowubaba(Even when you abandoned me in the middle of vetting my SOP. you are great Man.), Austinpee4, Nony1(Get ready to accept me as visitor.), Osemigho and the rest people in the house.
Special thanks go to YEMDOGG for vetting my Sop and I just did what you said and submitted once, I didnt even get back to you. Thanks alot and to My very good friend that introduced me to this thread. he is presently in Nova Scotia. God bless you all.

Expect my submitted documents soon.

Hello,


You can find  our PhD admission requirements through the following link:

http://www1.uwindsor.ca/cs/2301/phd-admission-requirements


In particular, you need to have an equivalent of a 4 year Honours Bachelors degree in  Computer Science with all core CS courses taken and with high scoring grades from a good University.  Also, you must have a research thesis based MSc in CS not a course based MSc with project if seeking admission into PhD.  If you meet the conditions, you can follow up and apply and may also contact our grad secretary through csgradinfo@cs.uwindsor.ca for more details and enquiries.  


You can specify my name as a possible supervisor. Admission is through an admission committee although a supervisor must be found.  Let me know if you are eligible and decide to apply.


For MSc admission, only condition 1 of having an equivalent of a 4 year Honours BSc in CS  with all core courses taken is needed.  The admission committee might recommend additional undergrad courses to make up if not already taken.


We try to support financially, but expecting full funding is not feasible. We actually do not make any funding guarantee to Masters students.


Hope this helps and Good Luck.

does this mean d prof has agreed to my supervisor
has anyone applied at university of Windsor and he got full or partial funding?

Ziggarrr:
I guess he applied for fall 2017, it shows that the graduate school of Regina is still processing applications for spring/summer 2017 intake so they are holding your Hubby's file for the next intake which should be September 2017....don't worry it will soon change to 'processing'

Alright
thnks

@osemigho,MichV,yemdogg,folaroyal,wealth360 and others

please i saw this as the decision for my hubby's application at the university of regina "Hold file for next dept intake". Pls any idea about it.
pls house, has anyone experienced this with u of R and pls does it means he would be considered for winter 2018. thnks in advance

Good day everyone.
I saw this this as the decision for hubby application at the university of regina "Hold file for next dept intake"
pls house, has anyone experienced this with u of R and pls does it means he would be considered for winter?
thanks

@ osemigho pls can I Pm you sir.

Good day everyone, thanks for all your kind responses yesterday. please has anyone tried concordia university in montreal?
was it successful?

Osemigho:
My Email format to supervisor. Got about 6 supervisors, after emailing every prof, with similar interest as mine, in all univerisity in Canada that offer my program.

Dear professor .......,

Name and location. UG research topic and findings.

Grades, awards, publications, etc. (Good if you have high grades like 80% GPA). What you are doing currently if it is related to the program.

What the Prof is doing or have done and how and why I believe it is related to my past study (if I don't have proposed research) and or propose study(if I have one). Plea to support my application to the school.

Attached are my transcript, cert, proposed study (if I have) and CV containing the email address of my UG thesis supervisor. Thank you.

Regards,
Name.



I include UG supervisor name because I still work in his/her lab. If you don't have strong communication with yours, don't specify it in your email or CV. It can be disastrous or very rewarding cos some professors can contact him/her before saying yes to you.


Finally, keep editing and sending it to many. Took me about 3 months of serious supervisor search and prayers before I could get the ones I have. I value them die. Finally, I couldn't apply to all the schools due to limited fund for application fee.

Supervisor search is a serious work for a very serious mind and not a guarantee of admission. Be warned.

ok sir. thnks a lot

michV:
similarly, research masters program is highly competitive due it's funding also involved.coursework masters program does not require securing a supervisor which also saves you the stress and the reluctant nature of professors responding to your mails due to some factors but all depend on what an individual wants. getting masters admission in CANADA is not always easy and depending on the type of discipline and qualification.Securing admission towards FALL start is always rushy and competitive with voluminous applications from applicants from other countries like the ASIANS than winter/summer start.in addition this is why some agencies in Nigeria are not always interested/reluctant in processing masters admission for their clients but would want to shift your interest to PGD(C) or refer you to other countries like Ireland,UK,US,Australia.
madam keep trying for other schools there. have you checked uni.Regina or uni.Carleton?

yes applied at uni of Regina. I'd try carleton

I emailed lakehead university.he didn't qualify. this is their response;

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in Graduate Studies at Lakehead University. Your degree of second class upper does meet our requirements to apply. Applicants from Nigeria are not required to provide an English proficiency test. You do not need to find a supervisor before applying. Unfortunately our funding for International applicants is very limited and there can be no guarantee of financial support.

For the ease of information transfer, please access all information available online at http://graduatestudies.lakeheadu.ca/programs/. To review information specific to your program of interest, simply click on the program name from the list. All program requirements are listed there. The 'How to Apply' section is where you can find the Graduate Studies Online Application form.

Please note that we do not pre-assess qualifications for admission purposes. In order to know if your qualifications will meet the minimum admission requirements of your program of interest, you must submit a formal application package. Once we receive your application, we will assess your qualifications for admission into your program of interest and provide you with an admission decision.

The following link is where you can find the tuition fees for Masters and PhD programs https://www.lakeheadu.ca/current-students/tuition-fees/fees. If you have any questions regarding tuition fees, please contact the Accounts Office at accounts@lakeheadu.ca.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

@skylar2020 I was expecting your mail because I lost my fone. By God's grace I was assisted by a moniker here and several others. As I told you before Computer Sci Msc in Usask is very competitive even you will see that on their website that admission is not easy with ur husbby CGPA. 3.74 is very low to what dey required. I also assisted a friend recently to gain admission into Usask with a cgpa of 3.39...Chemical eng.Msc but Comp Sci too dey competitive. Check your emails for Dos samples mail I sent to you to find supervisor. Please always state your research purpose or topic.

Pm me again sha

ok sir. thanks a much.

penitential:
You can share with him some of your past project (while you were in school or while working) show your passion for the research topic you want to work on, why you chose it, bla bla bla bla....

ok. Pls do you have samples?

ooluseyipa:
Sell yourself to hime, by telling him what you have done previously,i mean your research experience, your research abilities and what you intend to do. Remember Prof are very busy all those attachment they will not open it, just send a mail and sell yourself.

ok sir. so I need to include my UG project and other research. ryt. can I please see a sample if u have one.
my email is ruthobas61@gmail.com
thanks

yemdogg:
Not okay...I think it's vague. You didn't state specifically why you want him to be your academic supervisor. You didn't read his profile, journals, publications etc. With this mail, I doubt if he'd be motivated to work with you. You said you love his research work....what research work ? You didn't mention the research work in particular. Being a professor, i am sure he must have written several works some of which might not even be in the area of your proposed program. Please be specific when trying to mail a potential supervisor. To me this your mail is generic and it sounds like something you'd send to other professors in the department and trust me, the professor will see through it.

Wow. maybe that was why he couldn't get a supervisor.
please can u send a sample. or rather can I pm you sir.pls

Eraytee:
I think others have profer possible solution to ur hubby's admission quest. I'll keep you posted on anything that surfaces.

Alright . thanks

Dear Professor *****,   
I am a lecturer at the Federal ***** (Computer Science Department),Nigeria. I graduated with a 3.74 CGPA, Department of Computer Science, Ambrose Alli University. I have experience in my Undergraduate program Internship in Computer Science  and more than five years work experienceas a lecturer.

I am planning to attend graduate school in University of Manitoba, Fall 2017 with focus on Data Structures/databases/data mining. I have gone through the school’s website and I met all the requirements for admission into the department of Computer Science (Masters in Science). I love your research work and will like to work in your laboratory under your supervision.

Attach to this email are some of my credentials. Please what are the chances of me working with you.
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards

is this email ok to send to a professor so he becomes your supervisor?

Osemigho:
3-4 students alone or 3-4 international students? Omo, this one is competitive for 1st class GPA not to talk of your man's GP.

Just Google rank of Canadian universities and apply to lower ranked schools that offer the school. Genius mentioned some. Check lakehead if they offer it.

Use Google to check the rank and apply to schools down the ladder. All the best.

Alright
thanks

Iyalodeofcanada:
Try U of R if the admission is still on

applied there already. waiting for their response

michV:
tricks to applying to canadian schools: international students from first world countries or developed countries that want to explore canadian system and stay away from home do love and choose canada as their study destination. similarly such students from wealthy homes and with higher CGPAs would always go for those high rank/competitive universities.this does not mean you can't compete with them and may be lucky but it is always advisable when trying highly ranked/competitive schools,if you have enough money for application fee,jejely apply to low rank schools of your choice and save yourself the emotional stress after the long wait for admission decision because canadian have slow pace in doing and handling things which makes their admission process and even visa application treatment longer than other embassies.
when accessing admission applications, SOPs and recommendation letters play vital roles too..but canadian universities too stingy with their admission sef

ok sir. are u in IT area sir

michV:
what course of study @windsor?

msc comp sci. thesis based

Genius000:
Try University of Windsor, my friend had a 3.45 and was accepted.

You can also try Dalhousie University; quite easy to get in there for course based Masters.

Sorry for your husbands denial.

ok. thanks. trying windsor
trying to email a professor.
when emailing a professor, shud d email be lengthy or brief with educational credentials attached to the email

Hello house @osemigho, Iyalodeofcanada, erayte, megziflips and others.
Pls this was the reason my hubby's application at uni of manitoba was refused.
below was the email sent to his email.


Good morning.  Your application to the coursework MSc program in our department was rejected because your gpa was lower than what the committee was willing to consider.  The coursework program is extremely competitive due to the fact that we only admit a small number of new students each year (this year only 3-4 new students will be accepted).  Therefore, only students with the highest gpa’s will be considered by the committee.

 

We will probably not be admitting any new students in the Winter term, but if we do it will be one or maybe two new students, if space opens up.  That means that, again, the gpa requirement will be very high.

 

If you have any further questions please let me know.

please are there other schools he can apply to that will accept him with CGPA 3.74.
his last two years GPA were 3.429 and 4.107.
Pls what university can he apply for that will take him msc in comp sci
thanks in advance for any response given.

Osemigho:
Check the list above given to you.

I must let you know that some schools offer funding(scholarship) and Brock is one of such if I am right. Although Brock funding might not be full scholarship but it is likely going to cover most fees and perhaps 5k left. Be wise to check each program funding level and not school fees alone. Good luck.

I checked brock university but the deadline has passed.15th jan.would there be winter session? I can't see any information as regards it on their website. if there are other schools like brock uni with funding. Pls do let me know. thanks

Nievel:
Wow sorry to hear that. I must say it is quite strange because uni Saskatchewan waived ielts or proof of English for most Nigerian schools. Or do you mean GRE score??

[Qquote author=skylar2020 post=53728524]Good day all, my hubby's app for fall 2017 was refused at both uni of sask n uni of manitoba. sask was because of his ielts score. we added university of manitoba to the list of school ielts shud send results to. I'm convinced that's why he was refused there too. we are left with just uni of Regina. Pls is uni of winnipeg app for fall 2017 n winter 2018 still opened. seems thompson rivers university does not have a masters program in computer sci.pls house are there any other affordable schools still opened.
is UNBC app opened for winter 2018. do I need to get a supervisor first?
thnks

Nope
it's ielts. ielts or toefl is required for msc thesis based at the uni of sask. check their website.

ok sir
noted. I'd check it out.

Megziflips:
Suggestions in probable order of admission competitiveness:

University of British Columbia
McGill University
University Alberta
Simon Fraser University
Queens University
University of Calgary
University of Western Ontario
University of Manitoba
University of Saskatchewan
Memorial university of Newfoundland
University of Victoria

Thanks a lot. I'm almost done with uni of Victoria app. thinking of adding MUN. Pls you have any idea if they need GRE FOR MSC IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Osemigho:
Try Brock. Not sure

checked it. it's too expensive

Megziflips:
Not sure exactly how you mean this, but might be a bit misleading.

For every research based program you "need" a supervisor (need in quotes).

I think what they mean is that you don't need to contact or get a guarantee from supervisors prior, but you definitely need to know and list various supervisors you'd like to work with (even if you haven't contacted them).

On your second question, more than half of the schools in Canada have a masters program for computer science, so theres no need listing them.
Maybe if you provided constraints, one might be better able to help you. But without constraints, I'd say almost any university in Canada has a program.

Alright. thanks a lot for your response.
wud want a msc in comp sci with tuition fees per year not more than 10k cad dols.
thesis based , project based or course based.
thanks

Iyalodeofcanada:
its rare for the to reject applicants from Nigeria based on ielts score. From the little I know it's not always a requirement for graduates comming from Nigeria. At least I am very sure of U of M. Computer science is abit competitive or anything computing to say the least. Your husband's GPA, experience and availability of supervisor(if thesis)plays an important role. That is why it is always advisable to secure a supervisor before you apply for thesis based admission. Goodluck

u of manitoba was coursework alone
u of sask said he does not need a supervisor before he can apply
wat other schools are ok for him to apply?
