Hello guys, please is it possible for someone with a third class to gain admission for masters? if so can you recommend schools to apply to with affordable tuition.

Godsfave:
Oh my God!

It’s PPR

OH MY GOD! I’m still in shock

Congratulations

Jessica50:
I didn't pay the tuition fee just the acceptance, it's my first time applying I just wanted to give it a try and didn't know what to submit, pof was 1m

Yea u made it easy for the VO. I'm sure you know the right steps to take now. Good luck.

Jessica50:

May 15th

so sorry about this. did u pay your tuition fee? and if you don't mind, can u tell us how much you used as your pof.

nwauwa:
Usd master card is what I have been using

Oh ok. Maybe you don't have enough money in it. But if its enough, keep trying it will eventually go.

nwauwa:
I've been trying to pay visa fees of CAD $150 with my usd mastercard but keep error 481. pls anyone know what could be the problem?

you can't pay with your MasterCard. it has a monthly limit of only $100. you need to get some with a domiciliary account who is trust worthy to pay for you or better still google barter by flutterwave and pay through it.

here we go

lobinche101:
Thank you all... I got it done

Did u do it at the bank or online? Explain please so others can learn.

Soft landing gist
I booked Ethiopian airline for 1:40pm.
I said my final goodbyes and moved to the airport. I got there by 9:30 thinking I’m late because of the story I read here as per queue but there wasn’t any.
They didn’t allow my husband to enter and I had to tip them 500.
We proceeded to where they were suppose to check my bag but the woman asked for money n we moved to declare agricultural product, I had just one bag and I paid 2,000.


Next was to get my boarding pass. My bag was 43kg and so didn’t need to pay but paid 1000 to wrap my Ghana must go that had my foodstuffs.

I was asked for my passport , enrollment letter , arrive can , hotel for quarantine and COVID-19test result.(everything was printed out so was easy to find).

Everything was so smooth until the man said my covid 19 go soon expire by the time I reach .
Na that time I wan cry , pe village people u must show yourself o.
I waited for 30 minutes plus, the sneakers self pain me join , I come Dey frown face, the old man slow join, come Dey read bible abi wetin to show my covid go expire. I sha pretended and maintained my calm.

After series of back and forth, I was allowed to move to where we have the computer so I can scan my pp.

Then I was issued my yellow card where I have to fill my form and my boarding pass . That’s how one man said let me help you fill your form , olodo me allowed him, when he wrote my first name then nairaland tip hit pe, this man wants money like this o. I told him, don’t worry o, I go fill am, I filled it myself and when I was about to return his biro, he said find joy for your brother now, chai I said to myself , upon say I don read landing gist here back to back , I still looseguard. I sha gave him 500 naira.



I moved to eat and told my hubby to take all naira as e don finish , pe no more tipping then moved to final e boarding gate where we have the immigration officers.
First officer checked and asked for tip.by that time no more naira as I wouldn’t have thought , uniform people go want tip .I gave him 1 dollar and he said just one ? I said sorry o.
I was now directed to the second person where he checked and asked my my Canadian address and Nigerian address, I gave my Airbnb addrsss and number and did my fingerprint and he asked for tip too before stamping my pp. I gave him 1 dollar n apologized that I didn’t think I’d need to pay in here hmmm.
Then final final checks again, by that time I don tire , they checked my handbag and saw dried meat wey I wan Dey munch small small, the woman said I don see exhibit , settle your girl, for my mind, u no see shishi but I go sha giv u because na Poe Dey my mind like this.

Luckily I saw 1,000, I gave her and was seated for my flight .
We boarded 13:00and moved around 2:00 against 1:40.

I thought WiFi was free but na only WhatsApp he work for so had to buy WiFi so I can watch my Korean film but WiFi was limited too so ended up watching nothing but was thankful I could chat, maybe it was the WiFi package I took. Their food was terrible sha but I had to eat , dried beef came to my rescue.

We landed Addis Ababa 20:49pm , thank God I had someone directing me as I no sabi where to where .
After all checks ,I was asked for my pp, covid 19 test result, and booked hotel and I was allowed in .

We left for Dublin from Addis around 11:pm and it was a smooth ride, when I read in-house music, I had thought it will be a cool jam coming from one of those vent up there but no it was one boring set of songs you have to listen to(sad).

I had three seats to myself as no one was there so I was able to stretched n lie down well.
By all means download movies and music, iPhone do me strong thing o, not even Netflix . I was now waiting for WiFi atleast let me chat now , that’s how the hostess said no WiFi (cries). Boredom pro max .
Had to manage the dry songs n watch few interesting movies.

Then I was given declaration form , I kuku didn’t understand most of what they wanted but I sha filled something . The most confusing thing for me was the time difference, my time kept changing as weather chai.

We were served rice with chicken , Na so I no fit chop am because hmmm, I like eba and afang and so everything was strange. I told them to give me the dry bread n butter n water.


We got to Dublin around 6:35 am and some passengers dropped and we waited for 45 mins still seated for refilling n all that. We got to Toronto around 8:am(again time difference).

I filled my covid form on the system provided n was given a slip, proceeded to immigration, I was asked for passport , loa and school fees receipt, then he gave my study permit to me and went further by telling me about the 20hrs allowed for work .

I was there waiting for more question but none , I also waited for welcome to Canada , rather he said enjoy your stay and that was it.

Moved to take my connecting flight to Vancouver, that’s how they told me I must quarantine in Toronto, told them my mandatory hotel stay was booked in Vancouver and my flight would soon move , them no hear , had to cancel my booking and rebook in Toronto .

Please no matter where you going in Canada , as far as you stopping at Toronto, reserve your hotel in Toronto, that’s the only way they will allow you move further.

Did my covid test and was given a test kit to retest a week after and then we were taken to our hotel . Currently quarantining at Toronto before moving to my final destination.

For all PPR hopeful , I wish everyone nothing but good news.
Amen.

finallyyyyy.... congratulations once again

Hello SwayB,

Even the Data Business Analysis PGC program doesn't relate to computer science academically. Same is my option towards Business Analysis IT.

However, with a twist of blended English and good ideation, you may be able to pen down convincing argument. It should be on why the program would improve your career or depending on what future story that best suit your situation.

Even if you write a good letter to the effect without meeting the other requirements, the VO might be impressed with the letter but may not be satisfied after reviewing other documents.

I believe you know the path to walk through now.

Best of Luck

Thank you.

Hi guys, does a PG Cert in IT Business Analysis show career progression for some one that studied Computer Science?

Hello JustMellow, Lekiboboe. Your response will be appreciated.

Hi guys, does a PG Cert in IT Business Analysis show career progression for some one that studied Computer Science?

lentomac:
You are welcome,

Hmmmm, well No risk, No Reward, So the above link I sent is just an Approach to take a Calculated Risk that can be favorable to you, and so you won't put all your eggs in one basket, try apply to two schools (colleges)

I have friends who applied for a PG. Cert admission in a College with a 3rd class degree, and they got Admission (Cambrian College & Conestoga College to be precise)

Suggestion
- Try apply to Cambrian College (if they have a computer related PG. Cert program)
I heard they have Application Fee waiver for International Students, try confirm that, then you can use your Application fee to apply to another college
e.g Conestoga College and check for a computer related PG. Cert program there and apply, I have seen a response in this forum that says Conestoga College accept 3rd Class

Like you know already Advance Diploma shows no Career progression for a B.TECH/B.SC Graduate

What does it profit an applicant to get admission for a wrong program qualification & not get study visa due to wrong career progression

In a nutshell, do your due diligence & don't be scared to take the bull by the horn

You can await more suggestions to your questions which can be helpful aswell

Thank you so much for your input.

lentomac:
Yes you can,

but you gotta package your Application to show you are going to be a best fit for the PG. Cert program you wanna go for despite having a 3rd class

Do refer to this post

Possible Solution/Way for a 3rd class Graduate to get Admission for a PG. Cert program in a College
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/700#97090650

Advanced Diploma is lesser to a B.Tech/B.SC, so I think your agent is totally wrong on this.

Be careful of the kind of agent you use, so as to avoid stories that touch.

With the Resources on this forum, I feel you can D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself)

Also refer to this post
PG.Cert/Post Baccalaureate in Computer Science Related Programs
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/431#95227017

Thank you for your input. I just don't want to waste money on application fees cause about three people have told me the same thing that i might not get admission applying for a pgd and at the same time, if i go for an advanced diploma, it does not show career progression. Kind of in a dilemma atm.

Anon123:
IS THE 2.3 A THIRD CLASS?

Yes it is

Hello guys i have a btech in computer science with a cgpa of 2.3. I was thinking i could go for PG diploma but the agent I'm planning on using is saying i can't, that i must have a cgpa of at least 2.5. And i can only go for an advanced diploma. Is she correct? and does that show a career progression?

Yaay. Hopefully we get to testify on this thread soon.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw NSE requesting for IELTS. Prepared seriously for 3 days and this is my result. I wrote IELTS academic.

I prepared with the free resources on the British Council website and this website Ieltsliz
