Hello,

Anyone in University of Arkansas at Little Rock here. A friend needs your advice...

lassky:
Review of eligibility just started, should I be worried?

elisinho:
Please boss where can we get the 5lb Manhattan book

iamblisz:
Congratulations. Good to see that you actual score is better than the practice test.
My first practice test was 296: Q 150 V 146.
Since then I've been unable to get pass that score.
2nd practice test worse : Q 146 V 141.

I told myself I wont write until I score at least 310 in the practice test, and this is my 4 month of preparation.

thesoj:
An eight-page SOP is just too long and the VO probably didn't read it, or got confused reading it. In my view, the only way a VO would read such a lengthy SOP is (a) you have a concise TL DR on the first page OR (b) your writing is like Chimamanda prose.

An eight-page SOP is a sign to the VO that you have not yet figured out your reasons for wanting to study in Canada.

Ibro99:
Hello Fellow scholars, please how true is this news?

poetagain:
Thank you,Please where can I locate the switzerland thread?

This thread is for canada not Switzerland.. you can do well to locate the right thread

AccessME:
Someone told me to focus on going to another good country instead of canada due to reason that their visa process is too stressful and tedious hence they do verification than any other country but i never believed the guy but seeing that this part 16 has got to page 7 and no one has shared visa approval testimony so far, unlike the new US student visa thread where 4 testimonies have been shared already in just 9 pages. i'm now beginning to see reason with what that guy told me.

dipseacon:
Please what are my chances of getting Visa? I'm currently in my final year at Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture. But I have gotten admission at East Tennesse State University to study Nursing, would they require a proof that I am in a school over here? And like I asked earlier what are my chances of getting Visa?

Bracha:
What some people who have jobs do is this, they get a letter from their place of work asking them for an official copy of their transcript. They then use the transcript when the school sends it to their place of work.

Somalian360:
It's normal. Unofficial transcript in most schools MUST be collected in person; either by you or someone you know. Whoever you choose to help you can then send it to you through courier or any means.

N/B: I assume it's a Nigerian University you finished from... send someone that is street smart, money must change hands to boost the process.

Deane:
Some schools do not send transcripts to students or individual addresses whether official or unofficial. However, i know that they won't hesitate to send it to any corporate body/organization with an official address. So, Apply for the transcript to be sent to an official organisation, probably your work place or any office where you have access to and are sure it will be handed to you when received. When it is delivered, you can get it and use it for whatever you wish.

bennyg24:
Most schools in Nigeria issue the unofficial transcript popularly called Student Copy. Tell them you will be using it to apply for postgraduate program and it will be issued to you after some weeks. Student/unofficial transcript is issued to the applicant or someone sent by you.
