Morning All,

This trend is so educative. I will need the guidance of experience people in the house. I had a 2:2(3.31) in my first degree in mechanical engineering. I graduated from my MBA with an average of 65.7 which is approx 3.57/4.00 (UK). My GMAT score is 580 and i have 11 years of work experience with 4 years being in the management level. I have a dream of doing a PhD (management) in Canada. Advice on the following areas:
1. Chance of getting admission for my PhD
2. Which schools will you advice that will increase my chance as well as return on investment.
3. My main priority is permanent resident (PR) permit.
4. Will going for MSC or master in engineering management be a good option, if yes, which schools do you think will accept me based on my detail above.
5. What other options do you think i can apply knowing that PR is my main priority.

Thank you very much and hope to hear from experience people in the house.

Guys I need your help and advice please. I want to apply to two different Canadian colleges-SAIT and OLDS. Among the requirements is the scan of high school transcripts and this is a big issue for me. My friend who has been admitted into another Canadian college(humber) said my University transcript will cover that of the high school. In essence he is saying I dont need the secondary school transcripts. Do I really need it or not? Please help.

mrnilobrawn:

He already got admission, he was only talking about accomodation.

A friend of mine just applied and the $200 application fee was waived for one time application. Thanks for the info.At least ,=N=40,000 still be better money.....lol

NOBLE men;
I applied and got addmission at Nova Scotia comminity College last year December right now am gattering my documents to apply for Visa. My Sponsor is my direct uncle who is a management staff of NNPC and he has worked for 25 yrs, he has same surname with me and i have already opened a dorm acc in my name and he funded it with $20k i also have goten his own statement of acc which has a total sum of 32M, his pay slip and certificate of occupancy, letter of sponsorship and also affidavit of support which has been notorised in court. But my school has refused to give me my transcript at hand, they asked me to get a mailing address so they can send it to the embassy on my behalf, so i want to know if this is right.,if so how do i go about it. I also have my secondary school transcript can it be used in place of my university transcript since am going for a diploma. Also is there any other thing my sponsor needs to include? He already gave his contacts in his letter for enquires also his complimentary card.

sidnigga:

oh gal try defer to sept fall semester...It wud b kinda absurd to study for gud 4yrs n decide not to finish ur service before proceeding to anoda country to study..my thot anyway

Ebola:

Yes I did not use any sponsors cos I did not want to complicate matters too much. Am going for a 2yrs masters in Computer science.
Lest I forget, cos I'll be studying in Montreal, I also had to get my CAQ for studies from the QUEBEC govt. That only cost about 103 CAD and took abt 5 business days though 20 days max was put on their site. They were pretty efficient.

mrnilobrawn:

Am coming with all my software, i no fit shout.

Hi NL Family,

Quick one...is it a must to write the english exam(IELTS or TOEFL) for visa application?

Bear in mind i already have admission to Royal Roads Uni, Victoria BC.

ada4all:
Ok. But that would mean loosing money to the first school cos I heard you will only get part of your tuition if you want to transfer to another school. I am not sure about CIC regulation on that. Please advise further[i][/i]

Good evening .
I just got off the phone with the two recommended clinics on the CIC list in Lagos (http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx). One said their fee is 28K, It looks pretty high to me and my Igbo genes wants to explore another option. On this thread, I heard one or two people mention Asaju clinic one or two times. Although the clinic is not on the CIC recommended list, is it advisable to go with them? Is it cheaper?
BTW, the other recommended clinic old me the next available date for an appointment is 2nd December. I said Tufiakwa!!!

in addition to kaynine59
Try and get a PMB address from a reputable company or tertiary institutions or the like; make connection with the Registrars office if possible or any Oga at the top in the company so that when the transcript arrives it gets delivered to you.
Trust me, those messengers many overlook in the offices are the ones in charge of the mails, make a friend today. Tell them of your situation and they will help(depending on your sociality).

I used a college of education in my area to get my official transcripts...it was written in an attached letter, the reference should NOT be alllowed to see it.
naija for you

Siga:
... lol... I dont really fancy those sef... No need to bring me anything guys... just come do ur country, ur family and most importantly urselves proud... Stay focused and always calculative... U know the end game is Canadian Passport... thats the deal... collect ur passport and I gat my reward...

redribs:


Need to understand this upfront medicals properly. Does this mean I can (at my own risk) go ahead to do medicals at Asaju (or wherever) without it being solicited, and when it's needed Asaju just uploads my result to CIC?

I'm asking because I'm considering it as an option. My workplace is about 6-7 hours away from Lagos (and Abuja too)... and getting time off work when I'm on call is very difficult. I'll be free next week and I plan to be in Lagos, but I haven't been called for medicals yet. Wanna know if it's ok to go ahead and schedule an appointment for medicals anyway.

ada4all:
